Optional: Splunk ITSI content pack for IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics
Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) content packs provide out-of-the-box content that you can use to quickly set up your ITSI environment. The Splunk ITSI content pack for IBM Z® Operational Log and Data Analytics provides key performance indicators (KPIs) for monitoring IBM Z systems.
The KPIs in this content pack are used in searching for data that is streamed to Splunk by the Z Common Data Provider through either the Data Receiver or the Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC). After you install this optional content pack, you can link one of your existing services to the predefined set of KPIs.
Overview of Splunk ITSI services and service templates
In Splunk ITSI, a service is a collection of KPIs and entities that represent a real-world IT service, and service templates help you manage services in bulk. Any changes that you make to a template are propagated to all linked services.
- A service that is named IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics and that contains the KPIs for monitoring IBM Z systems.
- A service template that is named IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics and that is linked to the IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics service.
- A custom deep dive that is named IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics and that enables the display of KPI search results in a swim lane graphic.
- A custom glass table that is named IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics and that helps you visualize KPIs for monitoring your Z systems.
