Easily troubleshoot z/OS application issues through logs with Dynatrace

Dynatrace has introduced new support for the IBM z/OS operating system, automating log discovery and enabling large-scale collection to enhance hybrid cloud observability. This integration helps organizations manage the complexities of hybrid cloud architectures by combining telemetry signals—logs, metrics, and traces—into a unified AI-powered observability platform, essential for effective AIOps workflows. The platform provides end-to-end visibility, from frontend user interactions to backend business transactions, and allows for comprehensive root cause analysis by linking logs to specific z/OS applications and transactions. Dynatrace's log management capabilities streamline the troubleshooting process by offering enriched metadata and centralized log collection for public, private, and mainframe platforms like IBM Z and LinuxONE. The platform also includes features such as data masking to comply with regulatory requirements, the Dynatrace Logs app for manual investigations, and a DQL editor to simplify query creation. The introduction of Dynatrace Notebooks and the Davis CoPilot™ integration further expands the scope of observability use cases, facilitating more in-depth analysis of telemetry data on IBM Z mainframes.
