Enable all log streaming to Kafka external data sink

One of my customers has requested that we stream all our logs to their Kafka data repository. They have an internal regulatory requirement around this, and their top tier vendors are expected to comply.  While we can technically do this now by re-directing the logs to the vendor syslog, this would prevent us from collecting our Diag files for support. Once the data gets to the vendor data repository, it is not allowed to be sent back out. 

We would need a second set of logs to be kept locally as we have them now,. 

This has been discussed internally on SVC-1731 in Jira. There is also an associated engineering story open for this.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap.

    If you want your request to considered once again, please submit a new idea no sooner than in six months time.

    Thank you for bringing your ideas to us. If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.
