Splunk Integration for Logging & Monitoring

Currently product logs to file system which limits company's roadmap of having end to end tracking with one unified solution that is integrating all systems to Splunk. Also the current log to file systems will become very tedious to manually browse and troubleshoot as transaction volumes are high.

Asynchronous http call or via MQ to reach Splunk will be minimum requirements.

    Following a review of old rejected RFEs, we have noticed that this RFE has since been delivered by z/OS Connect EE V3.0.30 (APAR PH19977):
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/PH19977

    You can now configure z/OS Connect EE to record SMF 123 subtype 1 version 2 records, which provide more detailed information about API provider requests. These records can be consumed by Splunk via IBM Common Data Provider for Z Systems.

    For more information about SMF records, see the "API provider data from SMF type 123 subtype 1 version 2 records" topic in the z/OS Connect EE Knowledge center: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4SVW_3.0.0/monitoring/smf_provider_v2.html

    For more information about monitoring z/OS Connect EE APIs using Splunk (via IBM Common Data Provider for Z Systems) see this article:

    After a review of this requirement no specific support for Splunk in zCEE is imminent. However, it may be worth exploring the following support in Liberty (via logmet and logstash) that may enable Splunk access.
