SMF records and other mainframe management logs contain valuable evidence about system performance, user activity, and operational events. This paper explains how fragmented datasets, growing log volumes, and manual processing can make that information difficult to use for monitoring, audits, and incident investigation.
Explore how PropelZ supports access to and extraction of SMF records, console messages, job logs, and other management data for integration with analytics and SIEM platforms. The paper shows how bringing mainframe activity into a broader operational view can support performance analysis, troubleshooting, and audit preparation across hybrid environments.
