Have Grafana sign the RMF for z/OS Grafana plugin

Our organization does not allow the installation of Grafana plugins that are not signed as it poses a security risk, and I imagine that other organizations are the same. In order for us to make use of the plugin it needs to get signed by Grafana.

Enhance the RMF Spreadsheet Reporter tool to use FTP/S (TLS) instead of plain old FTP

I would like to see the file transfer functions of the RMF Spreadsheet Reporter tool enhanced to use FTPS (FTP with TLS). I had not tried using it until recently. I learned that it would use FTP to transfer generated jobs to our z/OS systems and d...
