What is IBM Z Anomaly Analytics?

IBM Z Anomaly Analytics takes a different approach to mainframe monitoring than threshold-based tools. Rather than alerting when a metric crosses a line an administrator set, it uses historical IBM Z log and metric data to build a model of normal operational behaviour, then flags departures from that baseline. The aim is catching the developing problem that no one thought to write a threshold for.

It covers both log and metric data rather than one or the other, which matters because many incidents show up in logs before they show up in metrics. Deployment involves IBM Z Anomaly Analytics running on Linux alongside IBM Z Common Data Provider on the z/OS system that feeds it data. Machine learning, log analysis and notifications are the named feature areas. One caveat worth raising: IBM's own product taxonomy metadata marks this offering as withdrawn, even though the product page remains live and indexed, so its lifecycle status is worth confirming directly with IBM before committing. Pricing is not published.

IBM Z Anomaly Analytics FAQs

It uses historical IBM Z log and metric data to build a model of normal operational behaviour, then detects departures from that baseline to identify developing problems before they become incidents.

Threshold monitoring alerts when a metric crosses a value someone configured. Anomaly analytics learns what normal looks like from historical data, so it can flag unusual behaviour nobody anticipated writing a rule for.

Yes, both. That matters because many incidents appear in log data before they show up in performance metrics.

IBM Z Anomaly Analytics runs on Linux, with IBM Z Common Data Provider on the z/OS system supplying the log and metric data it analyses.

The product page is live and indexed, but IBM's own product taxonomy metadata marks the offering as withdrawn. Confirm current availability and support directly with IBM before planning a deployment.
