I've seen multiple posts and links to say about integration of mainframe to Splunk. I can see lot of theory and functionalities, but want to see how practically things are done, if you have any hands-on experience with the common data provider
1. Common data provider: Is it a package for z-systems which IBM have to install on each mainframe servers or on specific master server?
2. How costly are they? Or is it part of the support package for z-systems?
3. How the data is pushed from the "Data Streamer" component of z-system to Splunk? via syslog?
4. Is there a TA/data format example for these type of data streamed from z-systems?
I feel the SplunkBase app is just an advertisement, which takes it to IBM website but no practical examples in it.
