    There are many ways to send information to other reporting tools, either though FTP, or today with SQL Services that data can be accessed directly by additional tools.

    Many SIEM tools, including FortiSIEM have the ability to receive event / logs from servers such as IBM i. Typcially you do require a tool to send the events / logs from IBM i to SIEM target via UDP, TCP or even TLS. This is standard for SIEM.

    Can you please describe what you are trying to accomplish. We already have several options that may cover this use case, but need to understand what you are trying to accomplish. We have integration already today with Nagios - https://www.nagios.com/solutions/ibm-i-monitoring-with-nagios/.
