Systems and methods are provided that extract information from IMS log records to reduce the amount of data transmitted and input to an analysis engine. An example method includes writing IMS log records matching log types identified in an extraction list to a file within an IMS control region of a mainframe computer and outside of the IMS control region, and reading records from the file. For each record read, the method may also include extracting fields of interest from the log record based on fields of interest associated with the log type of the log record in the extraction list and a data-to-field mapping for the log type, converting the fields of interest to a predetermined format based on the data-to-field mapping, and writing at least one field of interest to an output file. The method may also include transmitting the output file to an analytics engine for processing.

Real-time intelligent filtering and extraction of mainframe log data

A transaction processing system that includes a communications bridge between clients and a transaction processing engine provides a way to correlate events associated with the communications bridge and events associated with the transaction processing engine. By passing a unique identification information with the transaction requests and response between the communications bridge and transaction processing engine and including the unique identification information in logging information created by each, a correlation utility may correlate logging information to create a more complete view of the events associated with a transaction, including end-to-end response times.
