What about setting up the SMF parms to tell SMF to ignore the 110-2 records? CICS will still create them but I would think SMF would just "throw them away" when it see them. Before that happens would not an exit see the 110-2 records and then send them off to say Splunk?

[EXTERNAL] Hi Mike, I believe that depends on what you mean by "not write them to the SMF datasets". If you mean that you don't want them to go to the MANx datasets where SMF actually writes records, I believe the answer is no. However, if you want them to not go to where your SMF DUMP process goes, absolutely. You can do an SMF dump w/o clear to just pull the 110-2 records into a separate dataset then do a dump/clear of the MAN dataset to the SMF offload dataset excluding the 110-2 records. But I don't think there's a way to tell CICS to send the 110-2 records to someplace other than straight to the SMF MAN datasets.

Well, not exactly throwaway, but is there a way to produce SMF/RMF record types (say CICS 110-2's) for sending to a product like Splunk, but not write them to our SMF datasets (non-streams). (I realize products like Splunk probably have a way to intercept/send the data) but we may not want to save the data to our SMF datasets with the 110-2 records if we turn them on.
