TS Queue - Logstash offload

In PL/1 we have the problem, that people make "put skip list/data)" and everything is spaming the CEEMSG.

Now we want to introduce a PL/1 subroutine equal to log4j, Moving all the output to a TS-QUEUE. It would be great to have the possibility to offload the hole content of the TS-QUEUE to a logstash server, so that the developers have one place to look for all their logs.

We would implement our own logstash offloader for this, but as I think other companies would also like this, I have raised this RFE.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. See earlier comment regarding IBM Common Data provider for z Systems.

    Uhh, now I forgot what we would need.

    We would need a Cics Resource for a external logstash server where I can add the TS-QUEUE.
