I configured the Operational analytics for the MobileFirst 7.0
Configured the JDNI as per the IBM document and created client side log profile in Admin Operation Console. But it always shows 0 data. Not load any client logs / server logs.
Log receiver adapter has been built and deployed in the operation console. Client has the method to push the logs to server via WL.Logger.send(). I see the client log console and logcat, the logs has been pushed to server. In server log also, i see the invoke success log for logReceiverAdapter call.
In Operation Analytics console JNDI, the Queue and Size has been set to 1.
This was identified to be a defect in the product and will be resolved as part of APAR #PI42509 WHEN USING SSL ON WEBSPHERE THE ANALYTICS DATA IS NOT RECEIVED BY THE ANALYTICS SERVER BECAUSE OF THE SSL CONFIGURATION USED
There is no local workaround.
Continue to follow up on the issue in the PMR (support ticket) you have opened.

I have setup IoT Edge up in one of our machines and installed OPC Publisher and connected it to one of our opc-ua servers which then sends data to OPC Publisher and then to IoT Hub. We have not received any data to our IoT hub for the last 10 days and suddenly today we have received the data. How can we troubleshoot why the data is missing for the last 10 days?
You can generate a support bundle on your edge device that will collect the logs of all deployed modules as well as the edge runtime logs.
sudo iotedge support-bundle --since 11d
More details on troubleshooting IoT Edge here
You can first look into the logs of the publisher and validate if the connection to the OPC UA Server was/is active. If this is fine then have a look into the edgeHub and validate if the upstream connectivity to IoT Hub was affected.
One of the most powerful tools to monitor your edge deployments is the integration with Azure Monitor. It will collect metrics from the edgeHub and edgeAgent, which combined will give you an overview of where your messages are going. It can show you how many messages are sent to your upstream endpoint and when.

Edit:
OPC Publisher aLso supports diagnostic logging, which will give you more information about the connections to OPC servers. To do this, you need to set the diagnostic interval. You can do this by specifying the --di command argument in your createOptions:
"OPCPublisher":{
"settings":{
"image":"<image>",
"createOptions":{
"Cmd":["di=60"]
}
},
"type":"docker",
"version":"1.0",
"status":"running",
"restartPolicy":"always"
}
The example above will log diagnostic metrics every 60 seconds. You can then upload the logs using the support bundle command from Cristian's answer, or use the UploadSupportBundle direct method to do the same without needing access to the device.
IBM MobileFirst 7.1 is not auto recovering after a network failure / lost of connection even though all services/connections are back to normal.
We have a clustered / farm setup with 2 web and app servers (Tomcat). Both app servers are able to serve incoming transactions. We have this incident where-in there is a network failure/lost connection and during that time, all transactions are pointing to 1 app server. Although all connections went back to normal, this 1 app server still unable to connect to the configuration DB. What we did is turn-off this failure server and try the app which is now pointing to the other app server and the app works. We tried to restart the failure app server, test the app and is now accepting transactions. The question is, why it does not auto recover and Tomcat service needs to be restarted? Is MobileFirst 7.1 designed/built in such behavior (not auto recover)?
The expectation is, it should auto recover.
Please help and advise what can be checked/adjusted.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jonathan
The default DB configuration (datasource configuration) provided with MFP is not designed to auto recover when there is a DB connectivity issue. You
should be able to configure the MFP for auto-reconnect by providing correct data source configuration. See an article on how this is done for different app servers : https://www.techpaste.com/2016/04/jndi-autoreconnect-java-application-servers/
I am setting up HOME SIEM lab using SPLUNK. I am looking for sources which can provide different logs for various devices but not limited for below ones.
Windows Logs
IIS Logs
IDS/IPS Logs
Based on the logs i am planning to build search queries for various events and further using the same to build the rules.
It is not clear why you need logs when you can generate these? For example you can set up a VM with Windows Server and install an agent like NXLog (or any log collection agent that can send logs forwarded via TCP, UDP, TLS, or HTTP) for log collection to Splunk.

I have WLClientLogReceiver adapter with a procedure "log" to receive the client logs via WL.Logger.send() method.
In device client log, i see the message "Client Logs successfully sent to server"
During this, i do see the below message in server.
[6/17/15 12:12:40:768 CDT] 0000009c ProjectManage I com.worklight.core.jmx.ProjectManagementMXBeanImpl logTransactionDetails FWLSE0275I: Starting transaction with ID 58 for 'commit'. [project mfgulfconsole]
I have a APAR opened for Operations Analytics not loading data over SSL in WAS full profile clustered environment. So i am trying to find the client logs that has been pushed to server in my servers SystemOut.log. No client logs is writing on this file.
I even tried with HPEL Mode of log and trace the text log, nothing writes in this file for WL.Logger.send() call.
Am i searching for the logs in wrong files. Please advice.
AFAIK the analytics data is not stored in the MobileFirst Server logs... they go to the Analytics server and are stored in the ElasticSearch database.
i'm trying to connect my VB.net application to Remote Queue Manager.
but keep getting the followig Erorr: MQRC_Q_MGR_NAME_ERROR. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
here is the code i'm using:
Dim mqQMgr As MQQueueManager = Nothing
Dim props As New Hashtable()
props.Add(MQC.HOST_NAME_PROPERTY, "192.168.28.191")
props.Add(MQC.CHANNEL_PROPERTY, "SYSTEM.ADMIN.SVRCONN")
props.Add(MQC.USER_ID_PROPERTY, "AQ")
props.Add(MQC.PORT_PROPERTY, 1313)
props.Add(MQC.TRANSPORT_PROPERTY, MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_BINDINGS)
mqQMgr = New MQQueueManager("QMSEPAM", props)
i also tried differentconnection method (MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_CLIENT) and i get the following error:
"MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED"
Thanks in advance.
You need to set MQC.TRANSPORT_PROPERTY property to MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_MANAGED or MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_CLIENT for connecting through TCP/IP socket to a queue manager that is running on a remote machine or on the same machine as your application . The MQC.TRANSPORT_MQSERIES_BINDINGS should be used only when the queue manager is running on the same machine as your application in which case your application would communicate with queue manager using shared memory.
The MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED (2035) is thrown if the user with which your application is attempting to connect to a remote queue manager does not have authority. There are multiple ways of providing access to queue manager, talk to your IBM MQ Administrator to provide you the required authority. Take a look at this link. BTW what version of MQ are you using?
Update: Two points
1) Is user AQ same as logged in user of the machine where the .NET application is running? MQ .NET v7.5 sends the logged in user id to queue manager for authorization unless you are using a security exit. If you are not using any security exit then the logged in user id must exist on remote machine and has authorizations to connect.
2) Do not add user to mqm as users in that group are blocked from connecting to queue manager by the Channel Authentication feature
There are couple of posts in SO that you can read:
WebSphere MQ v7.1 Security User Credentials
MQRC_NOT_AUTHORIZED error while connecting to Websphere MQ 7.1
Finally if you are just testing out your application and do not really need user id authorization, then you can disable channel authentication by running the below runmqsc command.
ALTER QMGR CHLAUTH (DISABLED)
