Ironstream for Splunk®

Integrate IBM i and mainframe data into Ironstream for Splunk®

Ironstream for Splunk® Integrates your critical security and operational machine data from IBM mainframe and IBM i systems into Splunk for a complete picture of your IT environment.

Ironstream is the industry’s leading automatic forwarder of z/OS mainframe log data and IBM i machine data to Splunk Enterprise. Mainframe and IBM i data forwarded by Ironstream can be merged with other machine data from across an organization’s IT infrastructure to support enterprise-wide IT Operations Analytics (ITOA), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and IT Service Intelligence (ITSI).

To manage today’s IT infrastructure, you need to have a single, comprehensive view of all the systems in your environment. Splunk is the IT platform of choice for many companies but it does not support collection of machine data from traditional IBM mainframe and IBM i systems. Precisely Ironstream makes it simple to collect, transform and securely stream data from these traditional IBM platforms into Splunk with no need for mainframe or IBM i expertise.
