zSecure Alert

Showing 13 of 8836

Provide job to list the status of all Alerts in a specified C2PCUST dataset

We have potentially 25 LPARs across 5 sysplexes to manage, each with their own set of Alerts (each LPAR has its own C2PCUST library). zSecure Alert provides online (i.e. via ISPF) access to see the status of these alerts. However, signing on to 25...

MFA User Segment alerts

Hello IBM, Our team thinks the addition of MFA segment related user alerts would benefit zSecure. Currently there are no alerts for adding or deleting MFA Segments on the mainframe and we believe that the addition of this alert would be beneficial...

zSecure - add owner to default alert 1401

The current zSecure Alert 1401 reporting unix access violations provides great information on what (access) happened where (path). However, it would be great if the owner user:group can be added to the default alert.

Send alerts that were produced from events while zAlert was not active

It would be very helpful if for any reason zAlert is down for a period of time, any alert that would have been generated otherwise, to be able to be sent to a defined destination. This way, no alert recording will be lost. The batch job that is us...

IP filter rule enhancement to include IKED (IPsec Policy)

Alert 1615 only covers changes to the IP rules defined in the TCPIP Profile statement IPSEC->IPSECR<-ENDIPSEC. As we are supposed to use Policy Agent to configure IPsec rules, this alert is then kind of 'useless' as this default IPSECR state...

zSecure - Alert 1115 Too many violations - filter enhancement

Currently Alert 1115 does only allow customization for a) the amount of violations and a.1) specific users being revoked exceeding the limit via option 'Customize alert selection list'. I would suggest there second option to allow excludes for a w...

New Alerts based on DB2 SMF audit records

Although we are using zSecure Alert to trigger dataset or RACF events there is no capability to catch DB2 SMF audit records. It is a PCI-DSS requirement to trigger alerts on the DB2 insufficient access on sensitive tables or modification of a user...

Use sysplex wide SMF logstream as input to zSecure Alert

As a user of sysplex technologie (e.g. VTAM generic ressources) in our environments, we see that the functionality of some alerts is limited, if zAlert only analyzes data of one single lpar. The biggest problem we see is in standard alert 1125 (Pa...

Enhance Alert 1124

We want to exploit the built in zSecure Alert 1124. According to the documentation available here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/szs/2.5.0?topic=alerts-allowed-ip-address-configuration-1124-2124 it states that only logons to TSO are monitored by a u...

The ability to unload all z/Secure Alerts in a consumable form.

At the moment, there's no obvious way to unload all of the alerts that are defined in z/Secure Alert (out of the box or custom alerts), the associated settings (selected yes/no, where fields, extended actions (like commands issued) or additional s...
