Mainframes generate large volumes of data. CDP was built to optimize and format that data for Splunk ingestion. By using the advanced data management system, you are now able to filter and stream exactly what your enterprise requires.
• Curate Operational Data: customize and develop specific data streams using record calculations.
• Record Level Filtering: only send records that meet your specific conditions.
• Field Level Filtering: only send parts of the record needed in the target.
The extensibility of CDP allows you to add and extend existing data, including 3rd party and proprietary sources, all without the need for code updates.
IBM® Common Data Provider for z Systems® is part of a larger IT Operations Analytics solution designed to truly open your mainframe for end-to-end visibility across your entire enterprise. The IBM Z IT Operations Analytics solution was developed to deal with the pains caused through the digital transformation by enabling change without compromising reliability, managing visibility into hybrid and multi-cloud applications, and empowering operations with intuitive user experiences and analytics.
IBM® Z Operations Analytics® (IZOA) (which includes a full version of CDP) reduces outages and the corresponding business impacts, through powerful anomaly detection to identify root causes via deep insights and intelligent searching of operations data.
