z/OS OpenTelemetry Emitter

The following topics discuss the z/OS® OpenTelemetry Emitter input interface, specifically, the input schema and other aspects of the interface that are of interest to those who are developing applications that use the z/OS OpenTelemetry Emitter to write data to observability backends.

Security considerations

Data producers (CICS®, DB2®, IMS, MQ, and compatible vendor applications) own the data written to the SMF in-memory resources and are solely responsible for data correctness in terms of schema and content, and data security concerns such as confidentiality. The z/OS OpenTelemetry Emitter assumes that input data has been generated by approved, well-known, and trusted producers. The z/OS OpenTelemetry Emitter does not validate, sanitize, or alter any data forwarded via the schema.
