System-monitored time frames

Although MainView for zOS continually gathers and stores information about workloads, address spaces, system resources, delays, and thresholds, you control when and how often that information is displayed.

You can use MainView for z/OS to display the same data in two different time frames:

Time frame

Description

realtime

information as it exists at the moment of inquiry

MainView for zOS refreshes most of its performance data every 15 seconds, to provide you with the most timely information. (The 15-second interval is hardcoded and therefore cannot be changed.)

interval

cumulative information since the completion of the last full interval

When real-time data indicates a potential problem, interval data tells you whether or not the problem is statistically significant.

The MainView for zOS interval is determined by what is specified on the CMF Extractor REPORT statement. This value is usually between 15 and 30 minutes.
