Provide ability to route all messages to a central storage

In larger CICS installation with WOR, TOR, FOR, AOR etc. it is sometimes difficult to find all information related to a problem or event.
If the messages are written to SYSOUT, they can be searched, but need to be archived in an output management system and cannot be filtered. If the data is stored in a file, it cannot be seen online.
Please provide an ability to route all CICS messages to a central storage, i.e. MVS Logger, MQ, log4j, Kafka etc.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined..

    IBM Common Data Provider has functionality to address this requirement. See https://www.ibm.com/uk-en/marketplace/common-data-provider-for-z-systems

    Aren't there other ways of achieving this objective, i.e. thru' APM type solutions or better use of your existing CICS monitoring software?

    In addition surely there are issues in terms of cost and scalability for high volume envts?
