Reporting Activity Log data to IBM Cloud Log Analysis

You can configure your integration servers to send Activity Log data to IBM® Cloud Log Analysis. You can then view the data in an IBM App Connect Enterprise Kibana dashboard, alongside your other logging and statistics data.

About this task

Use the ActivityLogManager property in the server.conf.yaml configuration file to enable reporting of Activity Log data, and then use an ActivityLogPolicy to specify that the data will be sent to the Log Analysis service in IBM Cloud.

Procedure

To configure an integration server to report Activity Log data to Log Analysis, complete the following steps:

  1. Run the mqsichangebluemixreporting command from the host machine that is running IBM App Connect Enterprise (typically on-premise) to configure and activate the IBM Cloud reporting feature.
    For example, the following command enables the Log Analysis service for an integration server and publishes data to the IBM App Connect Enterprise Kibana dashboard:
    mqsichangebluemixreporting -w /ace/serverWorks -l active -r us-south 
    -o a.user@comp.com -a dev -u a.user@comp.com -p password1 -d
    where -w /ace/serverWorks specifies the location of the integration server work path.
    You can set the logging status to active only if valid values are specified (or have been specified previously) for the following parameters:
    • -r region
    • -o organization
    • -a space
    • -u userName
    • -p password
    • -d

    For more information about these parameters, see the mqsichangebluemixreporting command.

  2. Activate the reporting of Activity Log data, by editing the server.conf.yaml configuration file and setting the activityLogEnabled property to true.
  3. Specify that the Activity Log data is to be sent to the Log Analysis service in IBM Cloud, by defining an Activity Log policy and specifying the bluemixReporting property.
  4. Restart the configured integration servers for the changes to take effect. When the reporting status is active, data for all configured integration servers will be sent to IBM Cloud Log Analysis.

    The default interval for sending events to IBM Cloud Log Analysis is 60 seconds, so there can be a delay of up to 60 seconds before you see events in the Kibana dashboard.

  5. You can now view the data from your configured and restarted integration servers, by logging into IBM Cloud Log Analysis and opening the IBM App Connect Enterprise Kibana dashboard. For more information, see Viewing logging and statistics information in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Kibana dashboard in IBM Cloud.
