Thank you for raising this idea. We have delivered sample Elastic dashboards for CICS PA, which can be found here: https://github.com/z-open-data/cics-performance-analyzer-elastic
APAR PH16158 provides the capability to extract CICS PA data in JSON format: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH16158
We acquired the CICS PA Tool last year (2020) as part of our decommissioning of TMON for CICS for the reporting. We are currently using SAS/MXG to build our CICS reports from the TMON for CICS records. We recently saw a presentation with sending CICS PA reports to SPLUNK and saw this as an opportunity to forward these reports to Elastic and build similar dashboards on Kibana as the ELK stack is used in our environment and NOT SPLUNK. This will be very useful to us and help us speed of the process of decommissioning TMON for CICS. This will be very useful to us and help us speed of the process of decommissioning TMON for CICS and TMON for DB2 and save the bank plenty of money.
