Hello all,

Hope you are doing well. I have been using ELK 7.16.2. and I want to use IBM Common Data Provider to stream logs to my Logstash instance.

But I have a few questions about installation of IBM CDPz, from where do I download CPZ ingestion kit? Do I have to download the Ingestion kit from z/OS server?

Do I only have to configure CDPz ingestion kit? Do I have to configure system data engine and Log forwarder?

Has anyone used this method before? Please let me know.

Thank you,  
Akhil Patel
