VitalSigns for IP: An IP Monitor Primed for the Future

VIP is a precise and thorough IP monitor that lets you…

Instantly search all monitoring data for a target name or value.
Follow direct links from performance alerts to monitoring data for the resources that caused them.
Conduct real-time IP packet traces, via batch jobs, or interactively in an intuitive graphic interface.

VIP will improve your mean-time-to-awareness of system status.

VIP cuts costs over legacy products and is a comprehensive, one-stop solution.

Can use AT-TLS security, a TCP/IP stack option that encrypts messages and transactions.
Recognizes passphrases, the longer, more-secure alternative to passwords.
Summarizes OSA performance data by OSA port, no matter how many LPARs use that port.
Provides dynamic, real-time mapping of your complex IP environment with a central repository and single-screen viewing.
Includes a full set of diagnostic tools: Route tracing for Enterprise Extender. Packet tracing for OSA-Express. Quick searches to find and drop connections of any kind. Ping and traceroute for all common protocols.

VIP monitors all the IP traffic among all z/OS TCPIP stacks, including FTP, OSA-Express4S and 5S, and Sysplex Distributors at IPv6 addresses.

VIP provides network history reporting and verifies service-level agreements.

VIP can trigger automatic repairs by sending alerts to its companion product, VitalSigns for Network Automation and Control (VNAC).
