Can SPAN port monitoring be used for DB2 on z/OS ?

Troubleshooting


Problem

Guardium does not support SPAN port collection for DB2 on z/OS

Diagnosing The Problem

The CLI command "show unit type" shows a unit type of "mainframe", this means that the appliance is a z/OS monitoring appliance. However, this does not mean that SPAN port monitoring can be used.

Resolving The Problem

STAP is the only available method to monitor DB2 on z/OS
