Monitoring Self Describing Agent (SDA) by situations

The Self Describing Agent functionality to keep the TEMS in sync with z/OS (maintenance) is very helpful.

Within the Enhanced 3270 there is a good overview of the SDA seeding process and it's status. In this overview we sometimes notice a 'error' for SDA. The problem is that this is a manual action which is executed now and then and it is hard to see when the 'error' started.

It would be helpful and logical if there is a situation which is monitoring the status of all SDA agents so you will be informed automatically.
