WebSphere (Ver 8)

Background

The WebSphere Server logs analysis App automatically Collect - Read - Parse - Analyzes - Reports all WebSphere machine generated log data of the server and presents a comprehensive set of graphs and reports to analyze machine generated data. Use a predefined set of dashboards and gadgets to visualize and address the system software, code written, and infrastructure during development, testing, and production. This WebSphere logs analysis App helps measure, troubleshoot, and optimize your servers integrity, stability and quality with visualization and investigation dashboards.

Steps

1. Add Log Data In XpoLog, When adding a log to XpoLog you can now set a Log Type (logtype). For WebSphere set the following logtypes for each log:

1. System out - was,was-server,was-systemout

2. System err - was,was-server,was-systemerr

3. Server start - was,was-server,was-server-start

4. Server stop - was,was-server,was-server-stop

5. Native out - was,was-server,was-nativeout

6. Http error - was,was-server,http-error

7. Http access - was,was-server,access,w3c

2. In the WebSphere server configuration file, usually server.xml by default, located under the [SERVER_DIR]/config/.../[SERVER_NAME] directory. Search for the following parameters:

1. System out - outputStreamRedirect

2. System err - errorStreamRedirect

3. Server start - outputStreamRedirect

4. Server stop - outputStreamRedirect

5. Native out - ioRedirect

6. Http error - enableErrorLogging

7. Http access - enableAccessLogging

3. Once the required information is set, on each log click next and edit the log pattern, this step is crucial to the accuracy and deployment of the Linux App. Use the following patterns for each of the logs:

1. System out  - Basic Information - [{date:Date,locale=en,MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss:SSS z}] {text:Thread ID,charsLength=8;ftype=threadid;,} {text:Short Name,charsLength=13;ftype=shortname;,} {map:Event Type,ftype=severity;,F=FATAL;E=ERROR;W=WARNING;A=AUDIT;I=INFO;C=CONFIGURATION;D=DETAIL;O=SYSTEM OUTPUT;R=SYSTEM ERROR;Z=UNKNOWN}{block,start,emptiness=true} {text:Class,ftype=class;stopPattern=^com\\.ibm\\.[\\w\\.]+(\\s);,} {text:Method,ftype=method;,}{block,end,emptiness=true} {regexp:messagecode,refName=Message;ftype=messagecode,^\\s*([A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]\\d\\d\\d\\d[EWI]):}{string:Message,ftype=message;,}

2. System out  - Advanced Information - [{date:Date,locale=en,MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss:SSS z}] {text:Thread ID,charsLength=8;ftype=threadid;,} {map:Event Type,ftype=severity;,F=FATAL;E=ERROR;W=WARNING;A=AUDIT;I=INFO;C=CONFIGURATION;D=DETAIL;O=SYSTEM OUTPUT;R=SYSTEM ERROR;Z=UNKNOWN} UOW={text:UOW,ftype=uow;,} source={text:Source,ftype=source;,}{block,start,emptiness=true} class={text:Class,ftype=class;,} method={text:Method,ftype=method;,}{block,end,emptiness=true} org={text:Organization,ftype=organization;,} prod={text:Product,ftype=product;,} component={text:Component,ftype=component;,} thread=[{text:Thread Name,ftype=thread;,}]{regexp:messagecode,refName=Message;ftype=messagecode,^\\s*([A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]\\d\\d\\d\\d[EWI]):}{string:Message,ftype=message;,}

3. System err - [{date:Date,locale=en,MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss:SSS z}] {text:Thread ID,charsLength=8;ftype=threadid;,} {text:Short Name,charsLength=13;ftype=shortname;,} {map:Event Type,ftype=severity;,F=FATAL;E=ERROR;W=WARNING;A=AUDIT;I=INFO;C=CONFIGURATION;D=DETAIL;O=SYSTEM OUTPUT;R=SYSTEM ERROR;Z=UNKNOWN} {string:Message,ftype=message;,}

4. System start - [{date:Date,locale=en,MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss:SSS z}] {text:Thread ID,charsLength=8;ftype=threadid;,} {text:Short Name,charsLength=13;ftype=shortname;,} {map:Event Type,ftype=severity;,F=FATAL;E=ERROR;W=WARNING;A=AUDIT;I=INFO;C=CONFIGURATION;D=DETAIL;O=SYSTEM OUTPUT;R=SYSTEM ERROR;Z=UNKNOWN}{block,start,emptiness=true} {text:Class,ftype=class;stopPattern=^com\\.ibm\\.[\\w\\.]+(\\s);,} {text:Method,ftype=method;,}{block,end,emptiness=true} {regexp:messagecode,refName=Message;ftype=messagecode,^\\s*([A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]\\d\\d\\d\\d[EWI]):}{string:Message,ftype=message;,}

5. System stop - [{date:Date,locale=en,MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss:SSS z}] {text:Thread ID,charsLength=8;ftype=threadid;,} {text:Short Name,charsLength=13;ftype=shortname;,} {map:Event Type,ftype=severity;,F=FATAL;E=ERROR;W=WARNING;A=AUDIT;I=INFO;C=CONFIGURATION;D=DETAIL;O=SYSTEM OUTPUT;R=SYSTEM ERROR;Z=UNKNOWN}{block,start,emptiness=true} {text:Class,ftype=class;stopPattern=^com\\.ibm\\.[\\w\\.]+(\\s);,} {text:Method,ftype=method;,}{block,end,emptiness=true} {regexp:messagecode,refName=Message;ftype=messagecode,^\\s*([A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]\\d\\d\\d\\d[EWI]):}{string:Message,ftype=message;,}

6. Native out - [{date:Date,locale=en,MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss:SSS z}] {text:Thread ID,charsLength=8;ftype=threadid;,} {text:Short Name,charsLength=13;ftype=shortname;,} {map:Event Type,ftype=severity;,F=FATAL;E=ERROR;W=WARNING;A=AUDIT;I=INFO;C=CONFIGURATION;D=DETAIL;O=SYSTEM OUTPUT;R=SYSTEM ERROR;Z=UNKNOWN}{block,start,emptiness=true} {text:Class,ftype=class;stopPattern=^com\\.ibm\\.[\\w\\.]+(\\s);,} {text:Method,ftype=method;,}{block,end,emptiness=true} {regexp:messagecode,refName=Message;ftype=messagecode,^\\s*([A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]\\d\\d\\d\\d[EWI]):}{string:Message,ftype=message;,}

7. Http error - [{date:Date,locale=en,EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z}] [{priority:Severity,ftype=severity;,DEBUG;INFO;WARN;ERROR;CRITICAL}] [{geoip:Client IP,stopPattern=^[\d+:\.]+(:\d+/);ftype=remoteip;type=country:region:city}:{text:Remote Port,ftype=remoteport;,}/{text:Server Host,stopPattern=^[\d+:\.]+(:\d+\]);ftype=localip;,}:{text:Server Port,ftype=localport;,}] {string:Message,ftype=message;,}
