The infrastructure of CA-SYSVIEW has been designed to consume very few resources. In fact, in most sites, it consumes less than 1% of CPU. Staff can define what information they want to collect, and how often. The performance metrics displayed can be set for warning and critical levels for monitoring the desired state of your OS/390 resources.

24. Persistent Data Store of Product Settings
Session #:
Title
Persistent Data Store of Product Settings
The CA SYSVIEW persistent data store is a mechanism that allows dynamic updates to be saved or hardened. Data can be saved and retrieved from the persistent data store. The persistent data store is a new CA SYSVIEW facility that preserves changes to data objects across multiple executions of CA SYSVIEW and across an operating system IPL.
This environment lets you do the following
Roll out product settings across multiple instances of CA SYSVIEW running in the same system or within the same SYSPLEX.
Maintain data objects that contain various types of data collection, statistics, and configuration options that control the operation of the product.
Save, retrieve, and copy the data from the persistent data store.

25. Session #:
Title
Audit Event
Events occurring within CA SYSVIEW that change resources. The Audit Event can view and control the historical audit activities.
When an Audit Event occurs, you can do the following:
Write record to SMF recording the event
Write record to logstream recording the event
Notify CA OPS/MVS of the event
Issue a WTO message recording the event
