Include z/OS Connect HTTP Header details in metrics published to Omegamon Data Provider

As a z/OS Connect User, I want to be able to view header details, such as Correlation ID, in the z/OS Connect Request data that is sent to Omegamon Data Provider.

This will allow me to add filters to my dashboards to view specific requests, using the same filters/data that are used on my off-Z dashboards. Correlation IDs provide the ability to trace requests through the stack, and not having this data available in my ODP datasets is hindering our ability to trace requests through the z/OS Stack.

    Hello, thank you for opening this product enhancement request.

    Unfortunately this is not possible at this time. IBM Z OMEGAMON Data Provider receives only history summary data for z/OS Connect, not the individual request detail records. There could be many millions of requests a day and ITM history is not designed for this many detail records.

    Both of these data elements are available in detail reports in TOM or TEP. It is also possible to use the OMEGAMON for JVM data archiver to offload daily z/OS Connect detail data to GDGs. A transformer program is provided with OMEGAMON for JVM to convert the data into JSON format suitable for ingestion by ElasticSearch, Kibana, Instana, and Grafana.

    See : https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/om-jvm/6.1.0?topic=ug-automated-archive-extract-transform-utility-zos-connect-api-metrics

    Please reach out if you have any further questions. Regards IBM OMEGAMON Product Management
