Add SMF_122 to CDP configuration

SMF record type 122, subtype 1 is created by Developer for z/OS® host components each time a client requests an activation token. It can be useful for system administrators and performance managers to analyze this SMF through CDP.  For now this SMF is not in the scope of Policy configuration, i.e. it does not exist neither in Data Stream nor in logstash ingestion structures. We ask to add it.

    Hi - thanks for submitting this Idea, is there any way you can provide some sample SMF122_1 records to our development team for use in testing/validation? We need to understand the record layout before we can commit to any work. Thanks in advance!
