When using the Chorus Security Discipline, Metrics, the 'Add New Metrics' panel is not showing any 'Available Resources' for the system.
External Security Manager (ESM) Statistics Gathering is not active.
Action:
The Time Series Facility (TSF) displays security performance data in Chorus from statistics gathered by ESM (ACF2 or Top Secret).
Statistics gathering is the process of collecting system statistics and sending data to TSF for a specific time frame, which is measured in seconds.
Before the Chorus Metrics panels can display 'Available Resources' the ESM(ACF2 or TopSecret) Real-Time STATG(statistics gathering) must be started.
The Real-Time STATG is a sub-task of the external security manager, not a stand-alone STC.
Determine if statistics gathering is active. If not active, follow these steps to activate.
For ACF2:
To determine if the ACF2 Real-Time STATG is active issue the TSO ACF, SHOW CHORUS command and verify that the statistics gathering is enabled and active. For example:
ACF
show chorus
-- GSO CHORUS - Chorus Settings --
CIA Real Time component ACTIVE = YES
CIA Real Time accepting events = YES
ACF2 Subtask LOGSTREAM Name = SECMF.CIA.DE28.DASD.LOGST
Processing Component LOGSTREAM Name = *NONE*
Auto-start the Processing Component Procedure = NO
Processing Component Procedure name = CIARTUPD ** NOT ACTIVE **
Maximum storage size in megabytes = 25
SYSID to use in CIA Database = DE28
Number of lost event records = 0
CIA Global ID User Exit = *NONE*
CIA Global ID Logonid Field = *NONE*
DSI Communications Port Number = 1490
DSI Communications Host Name = MVSDE28.CA.COM
Statistics Gathering = ENABLED/ACTIVE
STAT-G Interval in Seconds = 30
STAT-G TSF Suffix regions = P
If the statistics gathering is not enabled and active, modify and refresh the GSO CHORUS record to indicate STATG. For example
ACF
SET CONTROL(GSO)
CHANGE CHORUS STATG
F ACF2,REFRESH(CHORUS)
F ACF2,CHRSTAT(start)
For Top Secret
Specify the following control options CA Top Secret on each LPAR from which you want to send data to TSF:
CHORUSSTATG(ON) Specifies to start statistics gathering in Top Secret for TSF.
Issue the following commands to activate:
TSS MODIFY(CHORUSSTATG(ON))
TSS MODIFY(CHORUSSTATI(30))
