Hi Brad, we wanted to use O11y for this POC, here is what we are evaluating for this use case: Option 1: Manual Instrumentation via C-Interop (Traces & APM) The most robust approach to populate Splunk APM maps is to leverage ACUCOBOL’s ability to call external C/C++ libraries.   Leverage the OpenTelemetry C++ SDK: Build a small, specialized intermediate shared library (.dll or .so) using the OpenTelemetry C++ SDK. Expose Lifecycle Functions: Create C functions inside your wrapper to initialize a tracer, start a span, add attributes (such as paragraph or program names), and close a span. Invoke via COBOL CALL: Use standard ACUCOBOL interop verbs or the CALL "C$SYSTEM" interface to call your custom C wrapper at critical entry/exit points of your COBOL programs. Export Telemetry: The OTel C++ wrapper will stream the generated trace spans directly to your local Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector. [7] Option 2: Java Wrapper & Acu4GL Interfacing (Traces & Metrics) If your ACUCOBOL 10.5.1 application relies heavily on modern modernization extensions or database modules, you can route tracking through a Java subsystem:   Use the Splunk Java OTel Agent: If you wrap or trigger your COBOL logic from a Java application (such as an enterprise web service), you can attach the standard Splunk Java OpenTelemetry agent to that JVM. Database Tracking via Acu4GL: If your COBOL logic interacts with a relational database using Acu4GL, ensure the database driver calls are monitored from the database/Java side. Splunk APM will automatically visualize the database dependencies as separate remote service spans. [8, 9] What do you think about those options? ... View more

Thanks for the answer. We will analyze the third party integrations. What about metrics of its hardware, and traces of software that runs on the mainframe? Is there any O11y integration for that kind of server? ... View more

Hi, thanks for the reply. We have two indexers, they should have the same data for some indexes as we are forwarding this data to both destinations. One of them had a problem and we noticed it lost some data (lets call it A), and we also noticed the other indexer has the lost data (lets call it B). The situation now is that B has some data that should be on A but it is not, and we want to fill the gaps. We are trying to figure out how should we approach the copy of the data from the indexer that has the data to the other one that lost the data. ... View more
