Edit online

The runtime events and metrics payload generated by webMethods API Gateway at run-time is published to the configured API Portal destination. The columns that make up the events and metrics data model for API Portal are listed below:

Transactional Events

Column Description
apiId The unique identifier for the API.

Example: c0f84954-9732-11e5-b9f4-f159eafe47b1

apiName Name of the API in which the event occurred.

Example: SampleAPI

apiVersion The system-assigned version identifier for the API.

Example: 1.0

consumerId The unique identifier for the consumer associated with the API invocation.

Example: c0f84954-9732-11e5-b9f4-f159eafe47b2

consumerIp IP address of the consumer associated with the API invocation.

consumerName Name of the consumer associated with the API invocation.

A consumer name is populated as unknown when webMethods API Gateway is unable to identify the consumer using a security policy that is configured for the API.

Example: SampleApplication

correlationID The unique identifier that is automatically generated for every request coming to webMethods API Gateway and can be used to query the log.

Example: MED38e9cfa4-2348-408b-9462-124b2181c1a6:656

creationDate Date and time when the event was generated in webMethods API Gateway.

Example: 1501671101509

customFieldsrequest The custom fields an API Provider can provide to log a new field and value for a transaction event.

Example: {"customfield":"customvalue"}

errorOrigin The origin of error.

Example: Nativeserivce

eventType The type of event that occurred.

Example: Transactional

externalCalls List the external calls from API Gateway. These external calls can be to a native service or service registry.

Example: 


[{
"externalCallType":"SERVICE_REGISTRY_CALL",
"externalURL":"http://service.registry.com",
"callDuration":49,
"callStartTime":1562244570486,
"callEndTime":1562244570535,
"responseCode": "200"
},
{
"externalCallType":"NATIVE_SERVICE_CALL",
"externalURL":
"https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/store/inventory",
"callDuration":1285,
"callStartTime":1562244569252, 
"callEndTime":1562244570537,
"responseCode":"200"
}]
gatewayTime Duration in milliseconds, to process a request by API Gateway. This does not include native service processing duration.

gatewayTime = totalTime - providerTime

Example: 20

operationName Name of the API operation that is invoked.

Example: Using a Calculator API, you can perform various operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. When an addition operation is invoked in webMethods API Gateway, then the operation field name is populated as addInts.

providerTime Time in milliseconds required for webMethods API Gateway to invoke a native provider and receive a response. This time includes the overhead incurred by webMethods API Gateway. Overhead includes the time it takes for a provider to process a request and return a response, plus any network latency to or from the provider. Subtracting total time from provider time must give a rough indicator of the webMethods API Gateway overhead.

Example: 20
