Connector or supported integration path for Concert for Z

Events, event groupings aka incidents, and topology coming from Concert for Z need to have a fully supported connector or integration path to be forwarded into Cloud Pak for AIOps. Ideally any context, insights, or metadata associated with this Concert for Z data is translated downstream into Cloud Pak for AIOps to be used for smarter cross-domain correlation and topology.

• Concert for Z has a generic outbound webhook, but it’s never been used or tested with clients
• BofA currently sends mainframe events to Netcool/AIOps via EIF probe (Omegamon alerts + IMS event pump).
• The Message Bus Probe in AIOps could potentially receive Concert for Z webhook payloads, this as a viable path worth testing but should be modernized to indicate support specifically for Concert for Z data
