    Align all Mainframe Log data from zLDA to SPLUNK with respect to displaying/using consistent timezones from CICS, Netview, Websphere and SYSLOG to all use the same timezones.

    This enhancement is not only "useful" but necessary. The amount of time we spend in supporting the product due to "inconsistent" and confusing timezones depending on which type of Mainframe log we are viewing is onerous. It's basically impossible ...

    Please add the support of data feeds from IIDR (IBM InfoSphere DATA REPLICATION) SMF records to the product.

    zLDA user log from JES Spool does not work when batch jobs are offloaded from JES to an archival product like "SAR".

    Large MF (Enterprise) shops like CITI immediately offload batch for archival -- without this support the "user logs" from Spool to Splunk is not working for us. Our developers will not add VSAM ESDS files to batch jobs -- they will move forward a...

    add control panel to the IZOA Splunk app, where the user can specify index configuration to do an out-of-the-box install

    The Splunk IZOA app is made for a single instance Splunk and if you want to roll it out on a cluster you always have to make adjustments. The IZOA Splunk app needs a lot of indexes, but each customer will have their own naming conventions, retenti...

    Separation of UserLogs (Generic Data Streams) from Z System Data

    Avoid appearance of \" in smfid and message field of SYSLOG/OPERLOG in Humio

    Today, if the SYSLOG/OPERLOG is transferred via CDP to Humio, fields like SMFID or @rawstring, which includes message id and message text, contain characters like \".It would be great if it would be possible to remove those characters before it ap...
