NAViGATE 2026 at IBM TechXchange

Observability is an industry trend, but IBM i shops are left behind in the enterprise observability direction, often because there is a false sense of security that investment isn’t needed to gain observability on IBM i. With the database holding the crown jewels of the company, keeping the IBM i running is critical, but while IBM i is self-managing and easy to use, hidden underneath is a very complex system with an extensive set of tuning parameters. IBM i is also loaded with telemetry data - the metrics and information key to identifying and resolving problems. Attend this session to learn more about observability, why it is critical for IBM i and the extensive telemetry data hidden away that can make troubleshooting much easier using the right knowledge and tools.
