Summary

In large IT environments like IBM i, observability is essential for tracking system performance, and Dynatrace has enhanced its extension to facilitate this by allowing remote performance analysis without requiring installations on mainframe infrastructure. IBM i, formerly iSeries, is an IBM operating system known for its reliability, scalability, and security, capable of running critical workloads by integrating seamlessly with both legacy and modern applications. The updated Dynatrace extension provides a faster, more interactive experience with additional metrics and analytics, enabling users to monitor system health, job performance, and disk utilization remotely via Dynatrace ActiveGates. This extension offers a comprehensive view of system performance, including job status, resource consumption, and message queue alerts, through a ready-to-use dashboard. As the extension continues to evolve, user feedback is encouraged to enhance its features further, and deployment information can be found in the Dynatrace Hub.
