How to monitor process scheduler jobs in peoplesoft using splunk?

PeopleSoft SCM - Version 9.2

I am trying to figure how if the jobs that are scheduled through Process Scheduler in PeopleSoft, can be monitored through Splunk? If so, it would be great if you could walk me through the steps.

The way I handle this is to have a script run as a cron job from a maintenance server that queries the process scheduler tables in the database and writes out what I want to see about process scheduler jobs as key=value pairs into a text file and have a Splunk UF monitor the text file. Ugly but it works.

PeopleSoft has log file that is available from the process scheduler

Does peoplesoft offer a log file for the Process Scheduler that can be ingested into Splunk? Does it provide any type of REST API that a script could query and send the results to Splunk as a scripted input?

Sounds like the first question to answer is what does Peoplesoft make available to extract state info about the Process Scheduler?
