z/IRIS release 1.6.3 includes some great features and improvements for mainframe-inclusive observability:
- The z/IRIS Server(a.k.a IronTap) can be installed as a docker container to simplify installation and speed up deployment in your environment
- Db2 for z/OS observability with OpenTelemetry is now fully supported with the z/IRIS OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Extension.
- The Kafka Record Extractor Tool is also available for z/IRIS. It extracts, compresses and archives raw SMF records that are stored in an Apache Kafka cluster. Users can use this tool to provide SMF records to non-mainframe applications that cannot access Kafka clusters.
