Reports can be ad hoc, or they can be scheduled and emailed automatically to the people who need them. Assure Monitoring and Reporting can optionally integrate with a SIEM console for monitoring database events, system events or system information alongside other enterprise systems.

Comprised of two modules, the System Module and the Database Module, which can operate independently or together. Assure Monitoring and Reporting’s System Module comprehensively monitors your system to report on changes to system objects, access attempts, powerful user activity, command line activity, access to sensitive data, and more. The Database Module produces reports and alerts for any database activity on the IBM i. Static system data sources are also analyzed to identify possible deviations from best practice.
