See-TCP/IP's architecture is designed for performance monitoring of TCP/IP stacks on zVSE/VSE systems. The core components include:
1. **Data Collection Agent (zVSE/VSE):** This component resides on the zVSE/VSE system and collects real-time TCP/IP performance data.
2. **Communication Protocol:** A proprietary protocol facilitates communication between the Data Collection Agent and the PC-based Graphical Interface. 3.
**Graphical Interface (PC):** This component runs on a connected PC and provides a visual representation of the collected data. These components communicate using a proprietary protocol. See-TCP/IP does not rely on external databases; data is primarily stored in memory for real-time display.
The PC-based graphical interface allows administrators to configure monitoring parameters, set thresholds, and generate reports. Security is managed through user IDs and permissions defined within the zVSE/VSE system. Audit logging captures administrative actions and system events.
Competing products may offer broader platform support or standard APIs, but See-TCP/IP provides specialized monitoring for the zVSE/VSE environment. The graphical interface allows for configuration of monitoring parameters.
