There is SMF real-time interface
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.2.0?topic=services-smf-real-time-interface>
(

SMF provides an application programming interface (API) that offers
real-time access to SMF in-memory resources. You can use the callable
services that comprise the SMF real-time interface from an application
program to access SMF records from an in-memory resource *as they are
written*.)  ... so doesnt actually cover throwaway

SMF provides an application programming interface (API) that offers
real-time access to SMF in-memory resources.
The following callable services support real-time access to SMF records:

   - IFAMCON — Connect to an SMF in-memory resource
   
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMCON.htm>
   - IFAMGET — Obtain data from an SMF in-memory resource
   
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMGET.htm>
   - IFAMDSC — Disconnect from an SMF in-memory resource
   
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMDSC.htm>
   - IFAMQRY — Query SMF in-memory resources
   
<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMQRY.htm>

The following steps describe the expected calling sequence:

   1. Optional: Call the IFAMQRY service to determine which SMF in-memory
   resources are available to the application.
   2. Call the IFAMCON service to connect to an in-memory resource.
   3. Call the IFAMGET service in a loop to collect SMF records that are
   already in the in-memory resource or that are being recorded in real time.
   4. Call the IFAMDSC service to disconnect from the in-memory resource
   and clean up resources.
