Configuring the Experience Collector to support multiple AXA App Profiles

Products

• CA Application Performance Management Agent (APM / Wily / Introscope)
• INTROSCOPE

Issue/Introduction

By default, DXC snippets do not contain specific app and tenant information, so there is a process to include that information in the DXC snippets so that data can be viewed under specific apps in AXA.

This works for DXC reporting to AXA on-premise or AXA SaaS

Environment

Release: CAAPMT99000-2.4-Application Performance Mgmt-Trial
Component:

Resolution

1. Create the App Profile in CA AXA
2. Note the Tenant id, Collector URL and App ID from the web app snippet, find the relevant information in the following properties:

data-profileUrl=http(s)://<host>:port

data-tenantID=

data-appID=

3. Go to ../ExperienceCollectorBundle-<version>/integration -folder
4. Run ./apm-axa-integration.sh <AXA_TENANT_ID> <http/https>://<AXA_COLLECTOR_HOST>:<PORT> <AXA_APP_ID>

Example:

[axa@axa173 integration]$ ./apm-axa-integration.sh BCE31DE8-F84D-428B-80FA-25CA140C6142 https://collector-axa.cloud.ca.com dxc-test

5. Once the script completes with no errors, check the new snippet:

../EC/dxc-test.basnippet

6.     find file ../ExperienceCollectorBundle-<version>/EC/DxC/logstash/apm-axa-integration/apm-logstash-axa.conf -
7.     Comment out line:

#replace => [ "[app][id]","dxc-test" ]

6.     Restart Collector - Use the new dxc-test.basnippet with your web apps

Additional Information

• The apm-logstash-axa.conf will handle changing the tenant value from default-tenant to the specified tenant value.

 

• The apm-axa-integration.sh creates a Logstash instance that sends the data to AXA. This is a separate Logstash instance to the one that sends DXC information to APM..

You can see both of them mentioned in DXC's startStopServices.sh script:

./startStopServices.sh  -lapm, -LAPM, --logstashAPM                             Will start or stop the Logstash plugin for APM
./startStopServices.sh  -laxa,  -LAXA, --logstashAXA                                Will start or stop the Logstash plugin for AXA
