There is SMF real-time interface <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.2.0?topic=services-smf-real-time-interface> (
SMF provides an application programming interface (API) that offers real-time access to SMF in-memory resources. You can use the callable services that comprise the SMF real-time interface from an application program to access SMF records from an in-memory resource *as they are written*.) ... so doesnt actually cover throwaway SMF provides an application programming interface (API) that offers real-time access to SMF in-memory resources. The following callable services support real-time access to SMF records: - IFAMCON — Connect to an SMF in-memory resource <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMCON.htm> - IFAMGET — Obtain data from an SMF in-memory resource <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMGET.htm> - IFAMDSC — Disconnect from an SMF in-memory resource <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMDSC.htm> - IFAMQRY — Query SMF in-memory resources <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieac100/hll-IFAMQRY.htm> The following steps describe the expected calling sequence: 1. Optional: Call the IFAMQRY service to determine which SMF in-memory resources are available to the application. 2. Call the IFAMCON service to connect to an in-memory resource. 3. Call the IFAMGET service in a loop to collect SMF records that are already in the in-memory resource or that are being recorded in real time. 4. Call the IFAMDSC service to disconnect from the in-memory resource and clean up resources.
