Use the TCPIP Devices attributes to monitor network devices defined for a selected address space.
Note: If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.11 or earlier, the values for this attribute group are retrieved using SNMP. If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.12 or later, the values for this attribute group are retrieved using the z/OS Communications Server callable network management interface (NMI). Only these attributes in this workspace will show data for non-strategic interfaces:
Collection Time The time and date of the data sampling. This time is displayed in the following format:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
Where:
The stored format is a string no longer than 16 characters in the format CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:
Device Address The address of the network device. This is the base address, except for ELANS and ILANS, which use the control port address. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than eight characters.
Note: If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.11 or earlier, the value for this attribute is retrieved using SNMP, and this field displays an accurate, non-zero value. If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.12 or later, the value for this attribute is retrieved using the z/OS Communications Server callable network management interface (NMI), and the field displays valid, non-zero values for strategic interfaces only. Non-strategic interfaces always display a value of 0000.
Device Name The name of the TCP/IP device associated with this channel. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 16 characters.
Device Status The status of the network device, indicating whether the device or datapath is operational. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 18 characters, one of the following:
Device Type The type of physical network device being monitored. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 8 characters.
Host Name The host name of the TCP/IP stack. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 255 characters.
Interface Index The interface index associated with this device. The format is an unsigned integer.
Job Name The name of the job associated with the network device. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 8 characters.
Link Name The link name associated with this network device. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 16 characters.
Link Type The type of link associated with this network device. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than eight characters.
Network Number The network to which the device is attached. This attribute is significant for links on library control system (LCS) devices only. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than eight characters.
Note: If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.11 or earlier, the value for this attribute is retrieved using SNMP, and this field displays an accurate, non-zero value. If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.12 or later, the value for this attribute is retrieved using the z/OS Communications Server callable network management interface (NMI) and the field applies to CTC devices only. For all other Device Types, the field displays a value of zero, meaning that data is not available.
Origin Node The unique identifier for the TCP/IP stack being displayed. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 32 characters.
Port Interface Index The interface port index associated with an OSA device or interface. The format is an integer.
Program Name The program name associated with the network device. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than eight characters.
Queue Size The size of the queue associated with the network device. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than eight characters.
Note: If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.11 or earlier, the value for this attribute is retrieved using SNMP, and this field displays an accurate, non-zero value. If the address space being monitored is running on z/OS v1.12 or later, the value for this attribute is retrieved using the z/OS Communications Server callable network management interface (NMI) and the field applies to the following devices types:
For all other Interface Types, this field displays a value of zero, meaning that data is not available.
System ID The SMF system ID. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 4 characters.
TCPIP STC Name The name of the TCP/IP job. The format is an alphanumeric string no longer than 8 characters.
