Processes that cross system boundaries are hardly comprehensible. Different
approaches to logging and tracking make it even more difficult to merge the
data. We have created an API to log into Splunk from within COBOL & Assembler
programs. It is a live logging - i.e. while the batch is running. Thus, data
from web applications and batch programs can be merged without obstacles or
delays. This led us away from system boundaries and towards a common
understanding of the process. Dashboards and alerts help us to further improve
transparency and promote the DevOps idea. I will show where exactly the benefits
lie and what we have done to achieve this goal.
