ConicIT & Compuware’s Strobe synergistic solution Automatic detection and analysis of applications problems

The Problems that we solve Catching and analysis of applications bugs can be hard: –How to detect problems at early stage –How to run Strobe powerful analytic tool exactly when the problem exists –What if the problem appears at night? Who will run Strobe analysis? –Does high CPU necessary means application problem? How to detect that there’s a real problems?

The Vision Automatic detection of applications problems, which triggers automatic deep investigation of the application.

The Building Blocks - I ConicIT Automatic detection and alerts about anomalies that reflects mainframe performance problems Connects to your mainframe’s performance monitors once a minute and reading thousands of performance metrics Presents all the data and graphs in a friendly and aggregated format on your web-browser Using machine learning to study the normal behavior of your mainframe, and to automatically detects anomalies and problems and to alert about them.

ConicIT recognizes that CPU of 10.98% for PSYCICS7 started- task is too high compared to the expected range for that time (the green stripe). ConicIT automatically starts Strobe to investigate the anomaly of the job’s CPU.

The Building Blocks - II Compuware Strobe Deep profiling and investigation of performance problems Runs on specific job-name, and possibly focusing on specific transactions Quickly pinpoint the source of application inefficiencies. Allows to improve user code efficiency, transaction response time and throughput.

The integrated solution ConicIT automatically detects performance problems and anomalies ConicIT Activate strobe on the relevant job and transaction, just on time, 24/7 Strobe is investigating the job and create reports that gives you all required information to figure the root cause Strobe is sending you an , with link to the result of the investigation

The integrated solution ConicIT detects performance anomaly: CPU above the expected (green) range Strobe investigates and analyzes the application The user receives a mail with link to Strobe’s investigation result

Use cases Example scenarios in which ConicIT runs Strobe investigation automatically CPU of CICS is higher than expected Transaction rates of CICS is higher than expected Transaction rates of CICS is lower than expected CPU or IO of a Started task is higher than expected CPU of any job is too high Specific transaction CPU, response-time, or transaction-rate is higher than expected The rate of specific transaction is lower than expected

Benefits Early detection of performance problems Strobe will run only when a problem is reliably recognized, and every time it happens Strobe investigation will run exactly when the problem exists and not too late 24/7 automatic detection and analysis. Results will wait for your inspection
