The Performance Toolkit for VM was initially shipped with z/VM 4.4.0 to provide enhanced capabilities for a z/VM systems programmer, system operator, or performance analyst to monitor and report performance data. Offered as a priced optional feature of z/VM, the Performance Toolkit for VM is derived from the FCON/ESA program (5788-LGA), which was not available in all countries.

Use the Performance Toolkit to reduce data from the z/VM MONITOR and produce reports and history files.
