through the use of either 3270
or a browser.

for full cloud PaaS implementation as well as
to extend the capabilities of the z/VM sysprog (system programmer)

The issue with any data source is it's accuracy. Comparing
two datasources, TOP and NETSNMP show that at least, these two
data sources are in agreement. And that the overhead of running
NETSNMP to acquire the same information is much less than TOP.
