You can track CICS task, take actions on them if some are hang or looping. You can go to the past because activity is recorded ans all metrics are available later. You can do correlation between CICS/Db2/MQ when you have CICS transactions doing access to these domains. You can set thresholds or alarms on some metrics to take actions or be alerted when exceeded.

Compuware Strobe is very essential if you are working in a multi-system environment to constantly measure the activity of your applications. My setup involves deploying bots to perform repetitive tasks. With Compuware Strobe, I'm able to conduct early tests on codes that reduce by great margins performance issues on the development cycle; It's why I'm making a good recommendation for it.
