SMT Modernization Guide

SMT provides basic system resource monitoring, including CPU utilization, memory usage, and disk I/O. It also offers limited alerting capabilities based on predefined thresholds.

SMT uses a proprietary agent installed on the z/VM system to collect data. This agent communicates with a central server, which stores and displays the information.

SMT's administrative interface is primarily command-line based. Configuration files are used to define monitoring parameters and thresholds.

SMT uses a proprietary API for data retrieval. The API is accessible through a dedicated client library. Communication occurs over TCP/IP.

The main system components are the Agent, the Central Server, and the Command-Line Interface. The Agent collects data, the Central Server stores and processes it, and the CLI provides administrative access.

SMT stores monitoring data in a proprietary database format. The database is typically located on the Central Server.

SMT provides basic system monitoring, which can help identify resource bottlenecks and potential performance issues. This can lead to improved system availability and reduced downtime.

By monitoring system resources, SMT can help optimize resource allocation and utilization. This can lead to cost savings by reducing the need for additional hardware.

SMT supports basic authentication using usernames and passwords. Access control is managed through a proprietary role-based access control (RBAC) model.

SMT uses encryption for communication between the agent and the central server. Audit logging is available to track user activity and system events.

SMT provides basic monitoring and logging capabilities. System administrators can use the command-line interface to configure monitoring parameters and view logs.

User management is handled through the command-line interface. Administrators can create, modify, and delete user accounts and assign roles.
