System monitoring is an essential component of IT security because it helps keep track of the performance and availability of IT infrastructure, as well as detect and troubleshoot issues that may affect the security of the network and applications. Monitoring is often required by IT security, insurance and regulatory frameworks.
With data collected from security journal, history logs, message queues and system values iEventMonitor provides simple and powerful monitoring of all aspects of the IBM i operating system. Use this data to configure alerts with sophisticated routing and escalation rules. Alerts are sent to email, SIEM feeds and SMS. When the optional web portal is installed, alerts are sent with a link to respond the messages remotely.
