zSeries HMC or API to query the Support Element to extract the time adjustment messages from current PTS or future PTS

We are requesting the ability for the zSeries HMC to query the Support Element of the PTS (or any processor that could become the PTS) for Audit log information in an effort to be able to create a schedule operation by which the time adjustment messages from the PTS can be extracted and transmitted to a server outside of the private SE VLAN.

Any questions please call Robert Chermely (IBM) on behalf of my customer. 817-983-6406

    The RFE specifically ask for the ability to get the "adjustment" logs via the Java API. These logs are written to the audit log of the SE. The ability to receive asynchronous events for audit log events was added in 2.15.0 HMC and SE. Similar support was added to the web service APIs back in 2.13.0 HMC and SE for both event notification as well as bulk gets of the complete set of audit logs.

    Also for 2.15.0 HMCs and 2.15.0 and 2.14.0 SEs audit logs information can be forwarded to remote syslog servers.

    So there are a variety of ways to get this information at varying levels of HMCs/SEs.
