To collect logging from the
Spotfire Server
and specified services (Spotfire Analyst,
Web Player
and
Automation Services),
first enable and configure writing to a file, to a database, or both, and then
enable and configure the action log web service. This task describes
configuring the action log web service from the configuration tool.
Before you begin
- You must have administrative credentials for Spotfire Server.
- You must have configured
the server to write action logs to a file and/or to a database.
Procedure
-
On the computer running
Spotfire Server,
click
Start, and locate and click
Configure TIBCO Spotfire Server.
Log in if needed.
-
On the
Configuration page, click
User Action log.
User Action Log configuration options are displayed.
-
Set
Enable web service to
Yes.
For this option to be enabled, you must have completed the
prerequisite to write to a file or database to collect logs.
The Web service configuration section is available.
-
Specify the settings for the web service configuration.
- Specify the
allowed host as a regular expression, if different from the default
.*. For example,
192\.168\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{ 1,3}$
- Specify which
categories to allow to communicate with the server. The default is
All. If you set this option to Some
Categories, then you can select from the resulting list box the service
categories to allow. See
Action log categories
for a complete list.
At startup, a service reads the list and sends to the
Spotfire Server
user action logger only the user action information for those services that are
allowed. If a service is not allowed, then at startup, it has no communication
with the
Spotfire Server
action logger. This setting is useful if you want to remove high-volume
services from filling the log files.
If you set the property to enable a service, but you do not set
the property to allow it, remember that no communication is sent from the
service to the logger.
-
At the bottom of the page, click
Save configuration.
The
Save configuration wizard is displayed.
Database (recommended) is the pre-selected
option, used to immediately apply the new configuration.
-
Click
Next.
-
Enter a comment about the changes done to the configuration, and
then click
Finish.

Restart all servers and services
