IBM App Connect Enterprise, Version 11.0.0.2 Operating Systems: Windows, Linux


Reporting startup and usage information to IBM Cloud Product Insights

IBM® App Connect Enterprise provides a facility to connect to IBM Cloud Product Insights, and to report startup and usage information for your integration servers to the service.

About this task

IBM Cloud Product Insights is a service that is available on IBM Cloud Private. Ensure that your version (and fix- pack level) of IBM App Connect Enterprise is compatible with the level of the Product Insights service before you enable IBM App Connect Enterprise to connect to it.

The Product Insights service enables you to connect your on-premise installation of IBM App Connect Enterprise to IBM Cloud Private, and report startup and usage information about your integration servers to the service. You can then use a dashboard to display the usage information for all your integration servers, including the CPU time, resident set size, and the number of active CPUs for each integration server.

For more information about Product Insights, see IBM Cloud Product Insights overview.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to enable your IBM App Connect Enterprise integration servers to report startup and usage information to the Product Insights service:

  1. Install and configure an IBM Cloud Private cluster, as described in the IBM Cloud Private documentation.
  2. Configure your instance of the Product Insights service, as described in the IBM Cloud Product Insights documentation. When you create the credentials for the service, ensure that you make a note of the API key and API host URL, so that you can specify them on the -k (API key) and -j (API host) parameters of the mqsichangebluemixreporting command, when you configure your IBM App Connect Enterprise integration servers (in step 3).
  3. Use the mqsichangebluemixreporting command to configure your integration servers to send startup and usage information to the Product Insights service. For information about how to complete this step, see Configuring an integration server to send startup and usage information to IBM Cloud Product Insights.
    Optionally, you can configure your integration servers to connect to Product Insights through an HTTP proxy server or through the IBM Cloud Product Insights gateway. For information about connecting through a proxy server or gateway, see the following topics:

    You can use the mqsireportbluemixreporting command to view the current startup and reporting configuration for the integration server. For more information, see mqsireportbluemixreporting command.

What to do next

View the startup and usage information for all your integration servers in your IBM Cloud Private Kibana dashboard, as described in Viewing integration server startup and usage information in IBM Cloud Private.
