| Task You'd Like To Do | A Tool You Can Use |
|---|---|
| Reduce MONWRITE data, produce reports, and monitor running systems. | z/VM Performance Toolkit |
| Reduce MONWRITE data, produce reports, and monitor running systems. | OMEGAMON XE |
| See the topological placements of the physical cores and LPARs on your CEC. | D0R16TOP |
| See the entitlements and logical core polarizations of the LPARs on your CEC. | CALCENT |
| Reduce the CPU MF host counters information found in MONWRITE data. | CPUMF |
| Reduce the CPU MF host CPACF counters information found in MONWRITE data. | D5R13CRY |
| Reduce the SMT counters information found in MONWRITE data. | SMTMET |
| Reduce the encrypted paging counters information found in MONWRITE data. | D3R2EC |
| Reduce the D6 R28 MRIODHPP HyperPAV pool activity records found in MONWRITE data. | HPALIAS |
| Reduce the D1 R31 MRMTRSRV CP Service Configuration record found in MONWRITE data. | D1R31 |

| Automate the routine collection of MONWRITE data. | LINMON |
| From a large MONWRITE file, remove or "rip out" a small time-range of data in the middle, so the small time-range can be reduced separately. | MONRIP |
| Using a MONWRITE file as input, build the files necessary for input to IBM's zCP3000 or zPCR tools. | CP3KVMXT |
| Unwind a MONWRITE file into a simpler file having a format that is more usable by ad-hoc tools, such as tools one might write in Rexx or in CMS Pipelines. | MONVIEW |
