Created: | Updated:
Refer to z/OS Work observability for details about monitoring batch jobs, started tasks, address spaces and TSO users.

Unless otherwise specified below, all trace tags in Instana correspond to z/OS Work Traces
service.name
z/OS Work traces set the service name to the subsystem identifier, which is derived from the value contained in the SMF record type 30 field SMF30SSI (e.g. JES2, STC, OMVS, TSO).
