UKO-Agent should have his own Messages in zOS SYSLOG

We have the need to control and automate messages from the UKO agent. So if something changes in a Key Dataset (e.g. CKDS) with UKO, we need to be able to react from zOS. Actually, the only way to be aware of changes there is to analyse SMF data. ...

UKO: Additional column/view in "Managed keys" panel in UKO GUI

We think it would be very helpful to be able to see the actual key status in the connected keystores, e.g. CKDS, in the UKO GUI. We realised that this could be different and would help us to manage the keys better without logging into zOS and ICSF...
