Sample dashboards on Elastic Stack

Z Common Data Provider provides Sample Insight® Dashboards for Elastic Stack to demonstrates how to use mainframe operational data that is streamed by Z Common Data Provider from a z/OS®-based IT operations environment. It enables customers to identify, isolate, and resolve problems across their enterprise from a single interface.

You can download the Z Common Data Provider Sample Insight Dashboards for Elastic Stack here:

The dashboards show subsystem information on performance and message indicators based on IBM® CICS® Transaction Server, IBM Db2® and IBM MQ subsystems. These dashboards can be used out of the box for immediate value from your operational data or they can be used as a starting place to create your own specific Kibana dashboards. Sample data is included in the sample download for validation before Z Common Data Provider data is available.

To install the sample dashboards and sample data, use the instructions in the following PDF file which includes prerequisite information, detailed installation and validation instructions, and information on how to explore and modify the Kibana sample dashboards.

You can load the sample data, or configure the Z Common Data Provider to send SMF 30 and SYSLOG or Operlog data to Elastic Stack. After that, you can start to use the sample dashboards on Elastic Stack.
