[Dev] Publish AS web statistics to BAM configurations have too much configuration steps
HI All, I have try to configure AS to publish web statistcs to BAM.But it seems (on user perspective) there are so many configuration steps need to follow to achieve this task. Steps required: 1. Need to enable WebappDataPublishingdisable/WebappDataPublishing on {AS_HOME}/repository/conf/etc/ and open bam.xml. 2. Need to select Enable webapp stats check box on HomeConfigureWebapp Data Publishing through AS management console 3. Need to select Enable BAM Statistics check box on individual web application dashboard I feel we can get rid of first two steps and just enough the third step.So user can enable the web statistics publishing for a web app by following just one simple step. WDYT? Further that with current implementation we can't enable stat publishing for services one by one. We have to enable or disable stats publishing for all deployed services. Isn't that better to allow enable stat publishing at each service level? -- Asanka Vithanage Senior Software Engineer -QA Mobile: +94 0716286708 Email: asan...@wso2.com WSO2 Inc. www.wso2.com ___ Dev mailing list Dev@wso2.org http://wso2.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
Re: [Dev] Publish AS web statistics to BAM configurations have too much configuration steps
We need step 2 since there must be a way to enable/disable webapp stats tenant-wide. And, that's where we configure the BAM stream definition, BAM Receiver URL, and credentials. So, we can't remove this one. I do not know the rationale behind having to enable/disable stat publishing globally via bam.xml. We have simply followed the mechanism used by ServiceDataPublishing to have consistency. BAM team, can you provide the reason for this? We need to have an option to configure stat publishing per axis2 service. This feature will not go in to 5.2.0 but will be available in a future release.

Re: [Dev] Publish AS web statistics to BAM configurations have too much configuration steps
I think we can get rid of the first option, in which I see the same thing is repeated in the second option. 2nd option gives better control because user can do tenant wise configuration. As Kasun mentioned we followed the mechanism used in serviceDataPublishing. Thanks Geeth *G. K. S.

BAM team, can you provide the reason for this? The ServiceDataPublishing is done by axis2 handlers, and therefore even if the the user doesn't want to send the statistics to BAM, these handlers will be invoked which is a performance hit. Due to this reason we thought of having this configuration to globally engage this handler or not in the request/response path. This was discussed in detail @dev mail thread 'Dev] [BLOCKER] BAM handlers taking 55% of the time in Web service invocation flow!'. Thanks, Sinthuja.

Re: [Dev] Publish AS web statistics to BAM configurations have too much configuration steps
Hi Kasun/Geeth, IMHO if bam.xml is enabled and the step2 also enabled, then by default we can enable the stats publishing for all web apps. I believe if a use is doing step-1 and step-2, then he's interested to monitor his/her applications. If he doesn't want the stats to be sent for a particular web application, then of course he can disable it. But by default we can enable the step-3. WDYT? Thanks, Sinthuja.

Re: [Dev] Publish AS web statistics to BAM configurations have too much configuration steps
Thanks Sinthuja. It seems we should also do a profile testing, and see whether there is a performance hit when the BAM stat valve is used. In aPaaS scenario, I believe there are two requests to BAM for each request AS receives. One is to publish to tenant space, and another to publish to super tenant space. I don't think we have performance issue like in the case of axis2 handler since we always check the enable.statistics context parameter in the webapp before continuing. This means that we can get rid of bam.xml config for webapp stat publshing. I always find it annoying having to update a file, and do a restart. :-) Let's do a perf test, and if there is not major performance issue, we can ignore bam.xml config. I agree with Sagara. We should let the webapp developer decide specifically enable stats if they need it. That way, they will be mindful on which webapps need stats and which are not. Further, they can add a context parameter to web.xml to configure this which means they won't have to bother doing UI based enable/disable as well.
