You can roll your own. You can trap SMF records before they are written by hooking system exits IEFU83, U84 & U85. All documented and not incredibly difficult. (I would frankly call it simpler than average for this sort of thing.) You don't want to do a whole lot of processing in the exit itself, but you can make two Boolean decisions:
- queue the record somehow, somewhere for more thorough outside-the-exit analysis (or not) - tell SMF to write the record to SS1.MANx, or to discard it SMF record formats are all documented (some a lot more thoroughly than others LOL). Having somehow queued your records for further processing, you can do analysis to your heart's content in assembler, COBOL, or your language of choice.

Dear As you know,IBM zSecure ALTER tool could analyze SMF records in real time. We wonder if there is any interface which could help us to develop programs to analyze SMF records in real time. Thanks a lot! Regards, Jason Cai From: Roberto Pacheco Date: 2015-06-15 10:44 To: IBM-MAIN Subject: Re: Is there any tools or interface which could analyse or monitor SYS1.MANX directly? Yes, there are some softwares that analyze SMFs Dino Explorer can collect and analyze SMF records in real time. Optionally, it can collect and after discard the SMF record, so it is not be written at MAN files More information www.4bears.com.br Regards, Roberto Pacheco On Jun 14, 2015 11:16 PM, "ibmmain" <ibmm...@foxmail.com> wrote: > Hi all > > We always analyse SMF data after we dump SYS1.MANX. > > Is there any tools or interface which could analyse or monitor > SYS1.MANX directly without dump SYS1.MANX? > > Thanks a lot! > > Best Regards, > > Jason Cai > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
