Collecting monitoring messages for all message flows in a server

You can collect monitoring messages for all message flows in a server by deploying a monitoring profile in a policy project, and configuring the server.conf.yaml file.

Before you begin

Create a monitoring profile that uses the Event type All transaction events, and the Event source address transaction.all as described in Creating a monitoring profile.

About this task

You can collect monitoring messages for all message flows in a server by creating a monitoring profile that is configured for all transaction events. You must then add the profile to a policy project before you deploy it to the server. You must then configure the server.conf.yaml file for all transactions, enable the collection of the events, and enable the writing of the events to a file.

To collect monitoring messages for all message flows in a server, complete the following tasks.

Procedure

  1. If you do not have a monitoring profile that uses the Event type All transaction events, and the Event source address transaction.all, create one as described in Creating a monitoring profile.
  2. Add the monitoring profile to a policy project and deploy it to the integration server. For more information, see Deploying and redeploying a monitoring profile.
  3. Configure the default monitoring profile for all flows in the server.conf.yaml file. In the following example, the monitoring profile is called AllTransactions_Test and is in a policy project called PolProj : 
    
Defaults:
  Policies:
    monitoringProfile: '{PolProj}:AllTransactions_Test'       # Default Monitoring profile
  4. Configure the server.conf.yaml file to enable the collection of monitoring events: 
    
Monitoring:
  MessageFlow:
    publicationOn: 'active'         # choose 1 of : active|inactive, default inactive
                                       # Ensure Events.BusinessEvents.MQ|MQTT is set
    #eventFormat: 'MonitoringEventV2'  # choose 1 of : MonitoringEventV2|WMB
  5. Configure the server.conf.yaml file to enable the writing to file of monitoring events: 
    
Events:
  BusinessEvents: # Monitoring events
    File:
      enabled: true            # Set true or false, default false
      #outputFormat: 'json'      # Set comma separated list of one or more of : json,xml. Defaults to 'json'

    The publishing of the events can be done over WebSphere MQ, MQTT, or ELK.
