Not happy with the IBM i monitoring level of your existing tool such as Nagios, PRTG, SolarWinds, Zabbix, etc ?
In addition, IBM recently stopped the support of their Nagios plugin for IBM i and said that Control for i is the recommended replacement.

Discover how “Control for i” adds instantly 200 ‘Plug & Play’ IBM i checks and how your tool is enhanced without any development required.

If you already know Control for I, come to see what’s new in the version 4.

You will also acquire knowledge on how it is easy to automate answers or trigger a program to well-known messages in MSGQ or System Log.
