There are a number of different data sources that are available within the IBM z/OS mainframe that can be leveraged to provide insight into the operational health of the system and applications as well as visibility into security and compliance issues. This new white paper discusses emerging technologies, Splunk and Ironstream, that enable organizations to capture mainframe information and quickly move it to open-system platforms where it can be integrated and correlated with information from other platforms, analyzed for anomalies and issues, and visualized using a platform that is familiar and comfortable for today’s workforce.
