Business man touching a statistical bar graph that is escalating.

Static Tracing and Statistics Collection

Login to WGA and go to Secure > Manage > Reverse Proxy > (Select Instance) Manage > Configuration > Edit Configuration File
Modify the stanza below:

[aznapi-configuration] stats = pdweb.threads 60 stats = pdweb.https 60 logcfg = stats.pdweb.threads: rsyslog server=log-server,port=514,log_id=webseal-pdweb-threads,error_retry=15,max_event_len=0,queue_size=0,rebind_retry=15 logcfg = stats.pdweb.https: rsyslog server=log-server,port=514,log_id=webseal-pdweb-https,error_retry=15,max_event_len=0,queue_size=0,rebind_retry=15

In this example, the threads and https statistics will be gathered every 60 seconds. The logcfg stanza defines the logging parameters. The file collected is then sent to remote syslog server log_server.

For the appliance, the file path isn’t really that helpful since the file system is inaccessible. However, I noticed that the stats won’t be collected properly when the file extension is omitted. Here’s the complete list of configurable parameters.

[aznapi-configuration] logcfg = category:rsyslog server=hostname, \ flush_interval=seconds, \ log_id=name, \ queue_size=number, \ hi_water=number, \ error_retry=seconds, \ max_event_len=length, \ buffer_size=number, \

Optional: ssl_keyfile=key_file, \ ssl_label=my_label, \ ssl_stashfile=stash_file, \

Dynamic Tracing and Statistics Collection

server task webseal-server stats on pdweb.threads 30 50 rsyslog server=log-server,port=514,log_id=webseal-pdweb-threads,error_retry=15,max_event_len=0,queue_size=0,rebind_retry=15

Below is the format from the above example. I’ve also included the same parameters on the previous example after the destination parameter. Since this is a dynamic stats collection, it will be automatically turned off once the instance is restarted.
