i-Rays
An AI-driven, agentless observability platform for IBM i from Warsaw-based vendor Omnilogy, launched January 21, 2026, that learns normal job, subsystem, and queue behavior to flag anomalies before they cause outages. On September 22, 2026, Omnilogy partnered with Power by Fortra to sell and support it to a wider IBM i customer base.

- Flag the oddAnything that strays from that normal is flagged.
- Suggest fixesMachine-learning recommendations cover tuning and workload changes.
The vendor claims root causes can show up as much as eight hours before users notice a problem.
