Enable activity logging on a HSTS node

Edit online

Faspex 5 uses the activity logging feature of available on IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server version 4.3 or later to retrieve package information. Upgrade and enable activity logging on each of your existing nodes.

  1. Enable activity logging for the IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server: 
    asconfigurator -x "set_server_data;activity_logging,true"
  2. Restart asperanoded:
    • Linux:
      systemctl restart asperanoded
    • Windows: Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management Services and Applications Services, click IBM Aspera NodeD, and click Restart.
    • MacOS: 
      sudo launchctl stop com.aspera.asperanoded
sudo launchctl start com.aspera.asperanoded
  3. Verify that the node has enabled activity logging by making curl call against the HSTS /ops/transfers endpoint: 
    curl -I -X GET -u node_api_username:node_api_password https://node_hostname:node_api_port/ops/transfers
    A 200 OK response confirms the node is correctly configured.
