For SMF performance data to be sent from the z/OS® SMF real-time data provider to Operations Analytics for z Systems,
you must configure the z/OS Log Forwarder to
forward the z/OS SMF real-time
data provider data transfer files.
Before you begin
Review z/OS SMF real-time data provider.
By
default, the data transfer files are stored in the following UNIX System Services directory:
/etc/IBM/zscala/V2R1/smf
Remember: Use the Log Forwarder Configuration Assistant to configure
the z/OS Log Forwarder.
The following procedure describes how to manually configure the z/OS Log Forwarder to
forward SMF data, if you prefer that method.
Procedure
To update the data configuration file manually, rather
than by using the Log Forwarder Configuration Assistant, use the following
example as a guide: logGatherers.1.dataSourceName = SYSNAME_SMF30
logGatherers.1.logPath = /etc/IBM/zscala/V2R1/smf/SMF30_*.csv
logGatherers.1.sourceType = zOS_SMF30
logGatherers.1.type = ZOS_UNIX_FILE
