Single Access Point Interface

MSPs can review critical events as they occur on multiple systems, allowing for better visibility and critical message monitoring from a single centralized perspective. absMessage includes a 5250 console, GUI interface, and Web Console Interface for monitoring system messages and critical resources.

Alerting, Escalation, and Scripting

Notification alerts can be sent based on predefined system message IDs or system resource conditions, then escalated to multiple responders until alerts are addressed. absMessage scripts can automate complex responses to alerts, including automatic replies and command & application execution. Notification and event information can also be integrated with non-IBM i Enterprise solutions like ServiceNow, Security Information & Event Management systems (SIEMs) or SNMP enabled appliances.

absMessage for MSPs can monitor your customer’s critical system resources. Real-time alerts and reactions can be set up for critical message, resource and job notifications, including CPU Utilization, disk thresholds, messages in a wait status, essential jobs not running, and many more.
