*** NEW OFFERING ***

zLMD is a lightweight data-collection agent for Linux systems running under z/VM. It was originally built as an alternative for customers who could not use SNMP due to network security concerns.

Instead of sending performance data over the network, zLMD pushes data directly into z/VM's CP Monitor stream where Velocity's Performance Suite can access and process it at each interval.

Based on growing interest, our team has also added a new, fully-integrated module to zLMD for collection of MongoDB performance data. These new MongoDB metrics can now be viewed via Grafana alongside z/VM, LinuxONE and Z System hardware data.

Velocity Software is very excited about this new addition to the zVPS product suite!

Features and Benefits:

• zLMD can be used in when there are security concerns about using SNMP.
• zLMD is looking to be much more resouce-efficient than SNMP, using less Linux guest memory and less CPU overhead while delivering the same data as an SNMP agent.
• zLMD is easy to use - download the software and enable the guests with an "OPTION APPLMON" statement in the guest directory.
• zLMD can collect MongoDB data for viewing on Grafana.
