Online System Manager for OpenVMS (OSM™)
Since 1986, PARSEC Group has provided excellent technical services for OpenVMS users. To further support our telephone support clients, we created OSM™: PARSEC Group's powerful and proven tool enabling proactive system management, predictive maintenance, and exception-based, timely responsiveness. OSM™ can help you, too!
Comprehensive System Monitoring
OSM™ keeps a constant watch over your computers. When something unusual occurs, OSM™ takes the appropriate action. Those responsible deal only with the exceptions, freeing up valuable time. OSM™ will report on events/alerts for:
- Device Errors
- Page and Swap File Utilization
- Excessive Disk Fragmentation
- Disk Space Utilization
- Memory Utilization
- File System Caches
- CPU Utilization
- Security Alarms
- Pool Expansion
- Page Faults
- User-Defined Events
Flexible Notifications
Each type of event may be defined as either critical or non-critical. The critical events cause immediate action to be taken while the non-critical events are stored up for later notification. This prevents the System Manager from being interrupted with too much "noise" while they are doing their normal job. With multiple methods of reporting, the System Manager may be notified for each type of event in the way most beneficial to them.
