Digital business requires that you have the right monitoring, analytics, and automation to enable your organization to deliver and maximize business results from IT-based business services, applications, and infrastructure. In order to create this connected intelligence that drives smarter collaboration and automation, excluding the mission-critical IBM mainframe and iSeries (AS/400) environments is not an option.

That’s where the EView Technology solutions come to the rescue, providing business insights previously not possible. The combination of Splunk and EView provides a comprehensive, accurate and complete view of corporate and iSeries (AS/400) infrastructure.       EView/400i Insight for Splunk

EView has expanded our core EView Intelligent Agent Architecture to power EView/400i Insight for Splunk. With EView and Splunk enterprises have an end-to-end view of the IT infrastructure to include the IBM iSeries (AS/400) environment data. This combination enables the ability to control all data through a single, easy-to-use interface, and integrate and automate processes for better security, compliance, and log analysis.   EView/400i Insight for Splunk is a scalable solution that analyzes the terabytes of big data from your IT operations. Turn data into understandable, relevant information to search quickly across massive amounts of data, this can provide the Operational Intelligence and insights that you can act on immediately, and predict problems before they occur. Collect mission-critical iSeries (AS/400) data including:

•  Operating System •  Message Queue Data •  System Audit Journal •  Custom Data

The EView Custom Message Interface (EVCMI) makes it easy to extend applications, batch jobs and installation automation rules to send customer messages to Splunk. With the EVCMI, EView Insight’s ability to gather, report, and analyze any mainframe is nearly limitless.

Leveraging the EView Intelligent Agent Technology

The EView agent is a lightweight system with minimal resource requirements that resides on IBM systems, which gathers all data which comes through the operator console and other integration points. Unlike other solutions, there are no requirements for vast amounts of memory and CPU processing on the mainframe. The EView agent narrows down the vast amount of mainframe and iSeries (AS/400) data to your exact requirements before sending the information via a TCP/IP connection into an Intelligent EView Collector. By using a sophisticated and reliable communication method, the agent recognizes if the collector is not available and buffer messages to ensure critical data is not lost. This ensures data is not lost and frees up valuable resources from the IBM system for formatting and logging data. The Splunk Forwarder then sends the information to the Splunk Indexer to where it can be displayed on the Splunk Enterprise console. EView Insight for Splunk applications contains numerous out-of-the-box default dashboards to provide examples of different ways mainframe data can be viewed as the EView Insight information is seamlessly integrated into Splunk. Since EView Insight is seamlessly integrated into Splunk, the simplicity of building your own custom dashboards is already there. EView Technology also provides the detailed information in the EView Insight: Installation and Customization Guides, to help assist in the foundation for creating a powerful IT Operations Intelligence platform, integrating the IBM mainframe (z/OS) and iSeries (AS/400) environments. Unified mainframe data source for the overall IT Enterprise Operations

The EView agent architecture provides a single lightweight, enterprise agent for integrating mainframe data for Splunk and HP Operations Bridge/BSM, HP Operations Manager, Microsoft System Center, and HP Configuration Management/UCMDB Discovery. This unified enterprise agent provides lower overhead and a common data source for IT Operations.

Simple, Affordable Licensing Model

EView/400i Insight for Splunk is affordably priced per-physical-machine, (2 iSeries systems = 2 licenses). This is a one-time fee (plus annual support), perpetual license and not a complicated per- LPAR, MIPs, or GB of usage-based pricing model. EView simplified pricing takes all of the complications out of deploying EView solutions and keeps cost low. The cost to deploy and maintain, most likely, will be significantly less than a usage based pricing model, especially important as the volume of data increases. Support

EView Technology and our partners provide comprehensive sales, customer and product support worldwide. We have an in-house, world-class development, testing, and support IT environment - which includes multiple IBM mainframes, numerous iSeries (AS/400) machines, and a host of other platform servers. This ensures customers the EView products are fully tested and supported. The EView solutions are backed by our certified engineers and technicians, available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year to enable proactive management and responsive service.
