Support for Arithmetic and Percentage-Based Conditions in OMEGAMON AI for JVM Situations

Currently, OMEGAMON AI for JVM Situations do not support arithmetic operations or derived metrics based on multiple attributes. This limitation prevents the creation of alerts based on calculated values such as ratios or percentages.

For example for z/OS Connect API Provider data, it is not possible to define a Situation that evaluates conditions such as:

  • Percentage of HTTP requests resulting in 5xx responses
  • Error rate calculated as (error_count / request_count) * 100
  • Any threshold based on relationships between two or more monitored attributes

Situations today can only evaluate individual attributes against static thresholds, which restricts their usefulness for workload monitoring where relative metrics (e.g. error percentages) are critical.
