Extend Mainframe Observability with OpenTelemetry to Splunk and Other Enterprise Platforms

Mainframes remain essential—but their data often remains siloed. In a hybrid, cloud-first world, observability teams need mainframe insights delivered in the same dashboards, tools, and formats they already use.

In this session, we’ll explore how BMC AMI Datastream for Ops enables real-time, enterprise-wide observability—streaming z/OS, Db2, and IMS performance data to platforms like Splunk, Elastic, Grafana, and BMC Helix. You’ll learn how new support for OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) expands your ability to monitor mainframe systems using the same standards and pipelines as distributed environments—while still supporting tool-optimized formats for specific platforms.

Key takeaways:

Learn how OTel-native streaming integrates mainframe metrics into enterprise observability platforms such as Elastic, Splunk, Grafana, BMC Helix among others
