Comment: ✉️ : [APIM][Doc] Missing steps in analytics configuration

In WSO2 API Manager 1.10.0(WSO2 APIM), you can configure Analytics either via the UI or XML.

Note

If you wish to configure Analytics in WSO2 API Manager via the UI, see Publishing API Runtime Statistics.

Follow the instructions below to configure Analytics in APIM WSO2 API Manager using XML:

  1. Open the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/api-manager.xml file.
  2. Carry out the following configuration changes under the <APIUsageTracking> element in the XML file.
    1. Enable Analytics in APIM by uncommenting and setting the <Enabled> element to true.

      Code Block
      <Enabled>true</Enabled>
    2. Define the <DASServerURL> value based on the WSO2 Data Analytics Server (WSO2 DAS) receivers.

      Code Block
      titleExample
      <DASServerURL> {tcp://localhost:7612/,tcp://localhost:7613/} </DASServerURL>
    3. Define the <DASUsername> and <DASPassword> based on the DAS receivers.

    4. Define the <DASRestApiURL> element according to the DAS master node, because this URL is used to fetch data from DAS REST API.

    5. Set the <DASRestApiUsername> and <DASRestApiPassword> element according to the DAS REST API.

    Use the default configurations for the other configurations in the <APIUsageTracking> section.

    Configure the statistics client.

  3. Set the RDBMS client using the <StatisticClientProvider> element in the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/api-manager.xml file as follows:

    1. By default APIM is configured for the DAS REST client. Therefore, disable the REST client by commenting out the following:

      Code Block
      <!-- For APIM implemented Statistic client for DAS REST API -->
      <!-- StatisticClientProvider>org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.usage.client.impl.APIUsageStatisticsRestClientImpl</StatisticClientProvider -->
    2. Set the RDBMS client by uncommenting the following:

      Tip

      The RDBMS client is the recommended option when using Analytics with APIM in production.

      Code Block
      <!-- For APIM implemented Statistic client for RDBMS -->
          <StatisticClientProvider>org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.usage.client.impl.APIUsageStatisticsRdbmsClientImpl</StatisticClientProvider>
  4. Define a datasource for the RDBMS client.
    Do this by adding the following configuration in both the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml and <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml files.

    Code Block
    <datasource>
        <name>WSO2AM_STATS_DB</name>
        <description>The datasource used for registry and user manager</description>
        <jndiConfig>
            <name>jdbc/WSO2AM_STATS_DB</name>
        </jndiConfig>
        <definition type="RDBMS">
            <configuration>
                <url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/APIM_STAT?autoReconnect=true&</url>
                <username>root</username>
                <password>pass</password>
                <driverClassName>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driverClassName>
                <maxActive>50</maxActive>
                <maxWait>60000</maxWait>
                <testOnBorrow>true</testOnBorrow>
                <validationQuery>SELECT 1</validationQuery>
                <validationInterval>30000</validationInterval>
                <defaultAutoCommit>false</defaultAutoCommit>
            </configuration>
        </definition>
    </datasource>
  5. Copy the appropriate RDBMS driver into both the WSO2 DAS and WSO2 APIM /repository/components/lib directories.
  6. Deploy CApp.
    As the summarization logic is defined in the DAS CApp, you need to depoy it in all the DAS nodes. When configuring Analytics using XML, you need to deploy the CApp manually.

    Info

    If you were to configure Analytics via the UI the CApp deployment process takes place automatically. 
    The APIM Analytics related CApps are found in the <APIM_HOME>/statistics directory.
    Use the API_Manager_Analytics_RDBMS.car for RDBMS configurations and the API_Manager_Analytics_REST.car for the REST client.

    Use one of the following methods to deploy the CApp into DAS.

    Copy the <APIM_HOME>/statistics/API_Manager_Analytics_RDBMS.car file into the <DAS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/carbonapps directory. If the /carbonapps directory does not exist create the directory. Thereafter, restart WSO2 DAS.

    Start WSO2 DAS and sign in to the DAS Management Console. Navigate to the main menu and click Carbon Applications. Click Add and deploy the CApp which is in the <APIM_HOME>/statistics directory.

    <APIUsageTracking> section.

    Code Block

                UI integration is inconvenient.

    titleRDBMS client
    1. Set the RDBMS client using the <StatisticClientProvider> element in the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/api-manager.xml file as follows:

      1. By default APIM is configured for the DAS REST client. Therefore, disable the REST client by commenting out the following:

        Code Block
        <!-- For APIM implemented Statistic client for DAS REST API -->
        <!-- StatisticClientProvider>org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.usage.client.impl.APIUsageStatisticsRestClientImpl</StatisticClientProvider -->
      2. Set the RDBMS client by uncommenting the following:

        Code Block
        <!-- For APIM implemented Statistic client for 
    DAS REST
      1. RDBMS 
    API
      1. -->
            
    <!--StatisticClientProvider>org
      1. <StatisticClientProvider>org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.usage.client.impl.
    APIUsageStatisticsRestClientImpl</StatisticClientProvider-->
      1. APIUsageStatisticsRdbmsClientImpl</StatisticClientProvider>
    1. Define a datasource for the RDBMS client.
      Do this by adding the following configuration in both the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml and <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml files.

      Code Block
      <datasource>
          <name>WSO2AM_STATS_DB</name>
          <description>The datasource used for registry and user manager</description>
          <jndiConfig>
              <name>jdbc/WSO2AM_STATS_DB</name>
          </jndiConfig>
          <definition type="RDBMS">
              <configuration>

                  <username>root</username>

              </configuration>
          </definition>
      </datasource>
    2. If you are using MySQL as the database, run <APIM_HOME>/dbscript/stat/sql/mysql.sql to create scemas in the database. Use the appropriate script according to your database.
    3. Copy the appropriate RDBMS driver into both the WSO2 DAS and WSO2 APIM /repository/components/lib directories.
    Localtab
    idREST-stat-client
    titleREST client

    Set the REST client using the <StatisticClientProvider> element in the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/api-manager.xml file as follows:

    1. By default APIM is configured for the DAS REST client. However, if it has been disabled, enable it by uncommenting the following:

      Code Block
      <!-- For APIM implemented Statistic client for DAS REST API -->
      <StatisticClientProvider>org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.usage.client.impl.APIUsageStatisticsRestClientImpl</StatisticClientProvider>
    2. Disable the RDBMS client if it has been already enabled by commenting the following:

      Code Block
      <!-- For APIM implemented Statistic client for RDBMS -->
          
    <StatisticClientProvider>org
    1. <!-- StatisticClientProvider>org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.usage.client.impl.APIUsageStatisticsRdbmsClientImpl</
    StatisticClientProvider>
    1. StatisticClientProvider-->
  8. Deploy CApp.
    As the summarization logic is defined in the DAS CApp, you need to depoy it in all the DAS nodes. When configuring Analytics using XML, you need to deploy the CApp manually.

    Info

    If you were to configure Analytics via the UI the CApp deployment process takes place automatically. 

    Use one of the following methods to deploy the CApp into DAS.

    1. Deploy the CApp via the file system.
      1. Copy the respective CAR file into the <DAS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/carbonapps directory.

        Stats ClientCAR file
        RDBMS client<APIM_HOME>/statistics/API_Manager_Analytics_RDBMS.car 
        REST client<APIM_HOME>/statistics/API_Manager_Analytics_REST.car
        Tip

        If the /carbonapps directory does not exist create the directory. 

      2. Restart WSO2 DAS.
    2. Deploy the CApp via the UI

      1. Start WSO2 DAS and sign in to the DAS Management Console. 

      2. Navigate to the main menu and click Carbon Applications

      3. Click Add and deploy the CApp which is in the <APIM_HOME>/statistics directory.
