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

The product is important to our company's application support community, and users have been asking for these feeds to ZLDA so SPLUNK Dashboards could be built to monitor workloads, performance, and trends.  
We currently have these records assigned as SMF 166 and need a simple way to define this data to the policy for gathering, indexing and ingesting to Splunk.

    Hi - thanks for submitting this Idea! We are not totally clear on this and would like some clarification. Just to make sure we understand, it seems like you just need us to support IIDR data (found in the SMF 116) and enable a data stream so that you can ingest this into Splunk?


    If so, are you willing to provide us with some sample SMF 116 records? Our development team has not worked with these records before and it will help speed up our investigation/development if we are able to commit to this work. Thanks!
