The API Manager Analytics provides reports, statistics and graphs on the APIs deployed in WSO2 Open Banking API Manager. You can then configure alerts to monitor these APIs and detect unusual activity, manage locations via geo-location statistics and carry out a detailed analysis of the logs. 

...

Note

By default, the API Management Analytics profile has a port offset of 1. This guide is instructed for a machine that only runs API Management Analytics with the port offsets set to 1.

Configuring the API Management Analytics 

Follow the instructions below to configure the API Management Analytics to publish statistics.

  1. Open the <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/api-manager.xml file. 
  2. Configure the properties under the <Analytics> sub element.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <Analytics>
            <!-- Enable Analytics for API Manager -->
            <Enabled>true</Enabled>
    
            <!-- Server URL of the remote StreamProcessor server used to collect statistics. Must
                be specified in protocol://hostname:port/ format.
    
                An event can also be published to multiple Receiver Groups each having 1 or more receivers. Receiver
                Groups are delimited by curly braces whereas receivers are delimited by commas.
                Ex - Multiple Receivers within a single group
                tcp://localhost:7612/,tcp://localhost:7613/,tcp://localhost:7614/
    
                Ex - Multiple Receiver Groups with two receivers each
                {tcp://localhost:7612/,tcp://localhost:7613},{tcp://localhost:7712/,tcp://localhost:7713/} -->
            <StreamProcessorServerURL>{<PROTOCOL>://<ANALYTICS_SERVER_HOSTNAME>:<PORT>}</StreamProcessorServerURL>
    </Analytics>
  3. Save the changes and restart the WSO2 Open Banking API Manager server.


Configuring databases

Info

The following is a list of database versions that are compatible with the Analytics profile.

  • MySQL 5.6
  • MySQL 5.7 
  • Oracle 12c
  • MS SQL Server 2012

...

Info

When using Oracle or MS SQL, download the database driver and include it within <WSO2_APIM_ANALYTICS_HOME>/lib directory.

  1. Create the ANALYTICS_DB database in your database server.

  2. Configure the worker profile.   

    Open the <WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/conf/worker/deployment.yaml file. Update the APIM_ANALYTICS_DB datasource with your database configurations.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    titledeployment.yaml
    - name: APIM_ANALYTICS_DB
    description: The Datasource used for APIM Analytics
    jndiConfig:
      name: jdbc/APIM_ANALYTICS_DB
    definition:
      type: RDBMS
      configuration:
        jdbcUrl: 'jdbc:<DB_TYPE>://<DB_HOST>:<DB_PORT>/ANALYTICS_DB?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false'
        username: <DB_USERNAME>
        password: <DB_PASSWORD>
        driverClassName: <DB_DRIVER>
        maxPoolSize: 50
        idleTimeout: 60000
        connectionTestQuery: SELECT 1
        validationTimeout: 30000
        isAutoCommit: false
  3. Configure the dashboard profile.   

    Open the <WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/conf/dashboard/deployment.yaml file. Update the APIM_ANALYTICS_DB datasource with your database configurations.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    titledeployment.yaml
    - name: APIM_ANALYTICS_DB
    description: The Datasource used for APIM Analytics
    jndiConfig:
      name: jdbc/APIM_ANALYTICS_DB
    definition:
      type: RDBMS
      configuration:
        jdbcUrl: 'jdbc:<DB_TYPE>://<DB_HOST>:<DB_PORT>/ANALYTICS_DB?autoReconnect=true&useSSL=false'
        username: <DB_USERNAME>
        password: <DB_PASSWORD>
        driverClassName: <DB_DRIVER>
        maxPoolSize: 50
        idleTimeout: 60000
        connectionTestQuery: SELECT 1
        validationTimeout: 30000
        isAutoCommit: false
    Tip

    By default, the following datasource entries are configured to H2 databases. If required, you can create external databases and point these entries to them.

    Datasource NameFile
    BUSINESS_RULES_DB<WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/conf/dashboard/deployment.yaml
    WSO2_PERMISSIONS_DB<WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/conf/worker/deployment.yaml <WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/conf/dashboard/deployment.yaml
    Note

    The GEO_LOCATION_DATA datasource should be configured when you are using Geo-location based statistics

  4. Integrate third-party products when configuring databases.

    Note

    WSO2 SP is a OSGi-based product. Therefore, when you integrate third party products such as Oracle and MS SQL with WSO2 API-M Analytics, you need to check whether the libraries you need to add are OSGi based. If they are not, you need to convert them to OSGi bundles before adding them to the <WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/lib directory. 

    To convert the jar files to OSGi bundles, follow the steps below.

    1. Download the non-OSGi jar for the required third party product, and save it in a preferred directory in your machine.

    2. Go to the <API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/bin directory. Run the command given below, to generate the converted file in the <API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/lib directory.

    Code Block
    ./jartobundle.sh <PATH_TO_NON-OSGi_JAR> ../lib

...

Note

You can enable performance tuning by adding configurations, as described in Performance Tuning in the WSO2 Stream Processor documentation.

  2. Navigate to the wso2am-analytics-2.6.0/Navigate to the <WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/bin directory, and give execution permissions to the worker.sh file.
  3. Run the API-M Analytics worker.sh as follows:

    Code Block
    ./bin/worker.sh
  4. Navigate to the wso2am-analytics-2.6.0the <WSO2_OB_API-M_ANALYTICS_HOME>/bin directory, and give execution permissions to the dashboard.sh file.
