Can you limit the QMGR or CICS TSD information being sent to MOI?

Issue/Introduction

We are TSD enabling some of our SYSVIEW CICS and MQ Metrics such that they are sent to MOI. 

Specifically for MQ we have coded the following:

    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:=:ENABLE

*   Specify Time Series Data (TSD) to be collected  *

    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:=:NOTSD                                         
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQBPUSE%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQPSET%_:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQDCONA%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQDCONC%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQL1TOT%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQL2TOT%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQGETS_:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQGETSR:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQPUTS_:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQPUTSR:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQREQS__:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQDEPTH:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQFULL%:TSD                                    
                                                                            
                                                                            
)EOF                                        /* Logical End of File   */     

 

Now if we want to filter this by MQ address space or even queue name is this possible? Or does TSD enabling force us to send all MQ PUT / GET requests for all MQ address spaces that are monitored by SYSVIEW? 

Likewise, we have similar VARIABLE-SET commands for CICS. We also understand that VARIABLE-SET has been changed to METRIC-SET more recently. 

 

 

Environment

Release : 17.0

Resolution

As noted, the VARIABLE-SET has been changed to METRIC-SET in this release of SYSVIEW.    As of August 2023, in Release 17.0 there is no way to limit the information sent to MOI via a subset of QMGRs.   An enhancement request can be made under the IDEA tab on the Broadcom Community page.

For CICS, each region has a SYSVIEW Data Collector, so the regions sending data to MOI can be controlled via a series of )IF JOBNAME ENABLE/DISABLE statements in the **.CNM4BPRM(SVWCTSD) member, similar to:  

)IF JOBNAME = CICSA

Time-Series-Data   Enable

)ENDIF

 

)IF JOBNAME = CICSB

Time-Series-Data   Disable

)ENDIF
