Another zScala dashboard example

I showed in an earlier post an example of how you can use SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis with the System z Insight Pack (aka zScala) to create dashboard views that allow you to view and analyze z/OS SYSLOG message traffic.

Here's another example of using zScala to create a dashboard.  In this example you see a dashboard that shows abends, B37s, RACF errors, and DB2 resource unavailable messages over the past 24 hours.

 This dashboard was easy to build, and shows information, such as RACF errors and B37s that you would not necessarily see from an OMEGAMON display.
