What is IBM OMEGAMON?

IBM OMEGAMON is not one product but a family, and that is the first thing to understand when evaluating it. Separate monitors cover z/OS itself, CICS, Db2, IMS, MQ, networks, storage and Java runtimes, each licensed individually, and they share a common foundation in Tivoli Management Services on z/OS. An organisation typically runs several rather than one.

That shared technology layer is what distinguishes the family from a collection of unrelated agents: data from different monitors surfaces through common interfaces, so a performance problem can be followed from the operating system into the subsystem where it originates. IBM also packages the monitors as the IBM Z Monitoring Suite, covering z/OS environments including the operating system, networks, storage and Java in a single offering, which is usually the simpler commercial route for a site running several components. Pricing is not published and is arranged through IBM.

IBM OMEGAMON FAQs

OMEGAMON is IBM's family of mainframe monitoring products for z/OS environments. Separate monitors cover the operating system, CICS, Db2, IMS, MQ, networks, storage and Java, sharing a common technology in Tivoli Management Services on z/OS.

No. It is a suite of separately licensed monitors. Most sites run several, which is why IBM also packages them together as the IBM Z Monitoring Suite.

A packaged offering covering z/OS-based environments including the operating system, networks, storage and Java, rather than licensing each OMEGAMON monitor separately.

Tivoli Management Services on z/OS, which is what allows data from different monitors to be correlated rather than sitting in isolated tools.

IBM does not publish pricing. Licensing is arranged through IBM and depends on which monitors are taken and whether they are bought individually or as the Z Monitoring Suite.
