Viewing logging information in the IBM Integration Bus Kibana dashboard in IBM Bluemix

You can use the IBM® Integration Bus Kibana dashboard in IBM Bluemix™ to display details of BIP messages that have been issued by configured IBM Integration Bus integration servers. Graphical and tabular views enable you to see important information quickly and easily.

Before you begin

About this task

IBM Integration Bus provides a sample Kibana dashboard, which you can load through the mqsichangebluemixreporting command, or you can choose to import it manually. This dashboard provides a set of charts that enable you to quickly identify the top five integration servers producing logging events, and the top five logging event types. It also provides charts showing total events, highlighting the logging information, warning, and error type, and the stop, start, and change activity of the integration servers. Additionally, a tabular view of the details of all events in the selected time period is provided.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to view logging information for your integration servers, in the IBM Integration Bus Kibana dashboard:

  1. Log in to the IBM Bluemix Logmet service, using the URL for the region to which IBM Integration Bus will send log events:
    • For the us_south region: https://logmet.ng.bluemix.net/app/#/kibana4/
    • For the eu_gb region: https://logmet.eu-gb.bluemix.net/app/#/kibana4/

    For more information, see the IBM Cloud Product Insights documentation.

  2. Open the IBM Integration Bus Kibana 4 dashboard by completing these steps:
    1. Click the Kibana 4 tab.
    2. Click the Dashboard tab.
    3. Click the Load saved dashboard button (an open folder icon).
    4. Click IBM Integration Bus Dashboard.
    Alternatively, you can view the logging information in a Kibana 3 dashboard, by completing these steps:
    1. Click the Kibana 3 tab.
    2. Click the Load button and then click Advanced.
    3. Browse to the folder MQSI_WORKPATH/BluemixReporting/Name_of_the_configured_integration_node, where MQSI_WORKPATH is the work path directory defined by the MQSI_WORKPATH environment variable. For example, C:\ProgramData\IBM\MQSI\BluemixReporting\myIntegrationNode. This folder contains your prepared IBM Integration Bus dashboard files that were prepared when you ran the mqsichangebluemixreporting reporting command.
    4. Select the file IIB_K3_dashboard_< Bluemix space>.json and import it. When the file has been imported, the dashboard opens.
    5. Save the dashboard by clicking the Save button (a disk icon), so that you can open it the next time you log in.
    6. To reopen the IBM Integration Bus Kibana 3 dashboard, click the Load button (an open folder icon) and select IBM Integration Bus Dashboard.
  3. You can now view the configured integration server BIP message events in the Kibana dashboard.

    By default, the Kibana dashboard displays events for the last 15 minutes, and the view does not refresh automatically. You can change these settings through the clock icon in the top-right corner of the Kibana Dashboard view.
