Capability to integrate SaaS logging mechanism with 3rd Party applications e.g Splunk

IBM SaaS has an out-of-the-box capability for monitoring and alerting. This information is surfaced in the form of Gray logs within the platform however there is no option available to integrate & exchange this information with other third-party applications like Splunk. Organisations like John Lewis & Waitrose invested significantly in developing an end-to-end monitoring capability. Splunk provides an end to end visibility of information (functional and non-functional) flow across the organisation. This provides a bird's eye view for the business & operations team to investigate any issues and identify dependencies effectively. The lack of logging integration will break the flow of information and force the operations team to look at various platforms to access the logs and investigate the issue. John Lewis currently have metadata written into the Sterling application/agent/integration log files - which are then sent to Splunk index via splunk forwarders. IBM OMoC platform does not provide the ability to extract the application/agent/integration logs on a real time/scheduled basis, which is required to keep our existing monitoring/alerting and operation reporting dashboards running. This enhancement request is for the platform to provide this capability to extract the out-of-box logs that are generated. We are not looking for end-end integration with our Splunk tool, just the ability to extract the logs.

We are looking at alternate options post our discussion with IBM Onboarding Architect, however initial indications are that - any of these options will require significant development work to feed the required data to our inhouse integration and will introduce additional work and potentially impact our Go Live timelines. Request is to review the enhancement request and let us know the feasibility of getting this included in the roadmap for release before Q1 next year.
