Introduction

This section describes and illustrates the API Manager statistic publishing and generating model. It describes the internal components of API Manager, external analyzer information and other data retrieval components. API Manager generates events based on the API Manager invocation pattern and publishes them to all the listening event analyzers. The analyzer is responsible for the accumulation of all events and generates summary data based on the defined summarisation logic (C-App). After the summarized data is generated, the API Manager Dashboard can retrieve statistics from the analyzer data-source to the UI via the API Manager analytics client.

API Manager usage publisher

The internal API Manager component listens to the API Manager invocations and its behavior. Based on the request and responses, the event is generated and published to all the event receivers. This publisher publishes the following event streams,

  • org.wso2.apimgt.statistics.request
  • org.wso2.apimgt.statistics.response

  • org.wso2.apimgt.statistics.fault

  • org.wso2.apimgt.statistics.throttle

BAM mediator

The BAM mediator publishes the org_wso2_apimgt_statistics_destination event stream.

Workflow executor

This component publishes the org.wso2.apimgt.statistics.workflow event stream containing work-flow related event data.

API Manager usage client

The usage client is responsible for retrieving statistics data from the available data source. There can be more than one usage client in API Manager. By default, there are two usage clients and either one can be in use at a given time. From API-M 1.10.x onwards, two usage client exist; REST and RDBMS. You can configure and use either client. By default, the REST client is configured and uses the WSO2 DAS REST API to fetch summarized data.

In the diagram above, the paths indicated in black demonstrate the path when API Manager is configured with the REST client. The path in red demonstrates the RDBMS client data flow path. In this case, the same data store is stored in the DAS internal table into the external RDBMS. These two clients use different summary data generating plans defined in the API_Manager_Analytics_RDBMS.car and API_Manager_Analytics_REST.car files.

Data analyzer

The data analyzer is a summary data generator based on the received event. WSO2 API-M 1.10.x uses WSO2 DAS 3.0.x to perform analytics tasks. DAS uses Apache Spark as a processing language. API Manager has a pluggable component, DAS C-App, which can be deployed into DAS. It contains details of all summarized data and their destination. API Manager has two in-built C-App files; API_Manager_Analytics_RDBMS.car and API_Manager_Analytics_REST.car. Both contain the same summarization logic except for the REST client final destination, which is the DAS internal database and the RDBMS client final destination, which is the external RDBMS.

API Manager summarized tables (DAS internal storage)

Note that these summarized tables are stored in the DAS internal storage. Both the C-Apps that API Manager deploy on DAS first stores the summary data into these tables. There are additional columns in some of these tables containing the composition column of other columns. Those columns types are of facet type, which is used to support the aggregation function on the DAS REST API. All the columns are indexed in order to search using Apache Lucene and supports the DAS REST API. When API Manager is configured with the RDBMS client, all these tables are replicated in the external RDBMS except for the facet columns.

API Manager summarized tables (RDBMS)

You can view the summarized tables that exist in API Manager in the <APIM_HOME>/dbscripts/stat/sql/mysql.sql file. 

API Manager statistics

API statistics are provided in both the API Publisher and the API Store. Apart from the number of subscriptions per API, all other statistical dashboards require an instance of WSO2 Data Analytics Server installed. For information on the available statistics and how to view them, see Viewing API Statistics.
