Hi Attila - thanks for the pointers, but I'm not sure of how to act upon them. The start-up for Cadvisor that I'm using doesn't feature any pointer to a parameter list, and despite much googling I don't see any mention of such a thing. Everything keeps referring back to Prometheus and then on to G

Housekeeping interval is part of the container manifest as it governs normal operation, not just performance metric collection. As such it is specified wherever you have your container manifest defined (for example, a .yaml file or by HTTP endpoint or HTTP server). You can also use the command l

Any product can dynamically add itself to the REXX host environment table to provide “ADDRESS foobar” style support, so I think that it is the requirement of the underlying product to document that fact (rather than TSO or z/OS Unix). On re-reading the SDSF User Guide, the section on “Invoking S

OK, so the scrape_interval part of your answer is something I can quickly understand and deal with. I'll put that to one side for now because my interest is with Cadvisor and how to control it. To take the parallel example for Prometheus from the IBM red book, I have to: 1. create a 'prometheus.y

ISFCALLS is an external REXX function - all that is required is that the load module (it is an alias to ISFYHOST in SISFLOAD) is available via the normal search sequence. ISFCALLS returns rc=0 by design when the host environment already exists. There are no integrity issues introduced by omitti
