This chapter describes the auditing framework, performance profiling, and logging capabilities provided with the Oracle Data Service Integrator. It contains the following sections:
The auditing framework is used to collect auxiliary runtime data using a normal XQuery operation in an Oracle Data Service Integrator dataspace. This information may be used for security auditing, performance profiling, and other purposes.
This section includes the following topics:
The data structure comprises a sequence of audit records containing an unordered collection of audit properties. Each audit record contains properties of a specific type, usually identified using a hierarchal name. Each audit record corresponds to an operation performed by Oracle Data Service Integrator. For example, access to a relational data source may generate a record of "evaluation/wrappers/relational" type that includes the following audit properties: sql, datasource, returnedRows, evaluationTime, parameters, message, and exception.
Any individual property may be configured to be collected. Each property has an individual intrinsic severity level that can be used to configure an overall threshold of what properties to collect. In certain cases, like when an exception occurs, some properties may be added to the record even if they are not configured to be collected. Typically, this information would be identifiers for a failed data source or update operation.
On the other hand, a property configured for collection may not be collected. This might be attributed to one of the following reasons:
Data might be unavailable due to internal implementation logic.
A property is collected by an audit based on the need to record internal conditions, for external analysis.
If an exception is encountered. This will result in an alternate execution path and impact the information being collected.
Collected elements of the data structure can be individually configured to be:
Submitted to the Oracle WebLogic Server auditing framework and processed by an auditing provider.
Written to an application server or system logging stream.
Transferred to a client application.
Note:
Auditing occurs whenever the engine is invoked and the Auditing option is enabled. Timestamps and other collected data enable you to match auditing information with particular query operations.Use the System Administration category in Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console to configure audits such as setting the global audit severity level and overriding audit settings for individual properties that you may need to monitor.
There are some global auditing options that inherently apply to every aspect of the auditing process. To set these properties:
Acquire the lock.
Select the System Administration category and then the Audit tab shown in Figure 9-1, which allows you to configure these options.
By default, the audit report generation utility is turned off. Before you start generating audit reports, you need to enable auditing.
Note:
With auditing enabled, performance may be affected, depending on the audit levels and the number of properties being audited.Table 9-1 describes available global auditing options. Select the respective check box in the Oracle Data Service Integrator Console to implement the required audit options.
Table 9-1 Oracle Data Service Integrator Global Auditing Options
Options | Description |
---|---|
Enable Auditing |
Determines whether the auditing is activated or not. Note: When auditing is enabled, performance can be affected to a degree, depending on the audit level and the number of items being tracked. |
Audit Queries |
Determines whether the auditing is activated or not, during a query evaluation. |
Audit Administrative Actions |
Collects audit data during dataspace deployment and configuration. |
Audit Updates |
Determines whether auditing is activated or not during update operations. |
Severity Level |
Determines the level of information to be captured by the auditing process. See Section 9.1.2.1, "Auditing Severity Levels" for more information. |
Send Audit Events Asynchronously |
Determines whether the events are processed synchronously or asynchronously. |
Enable Logging of Audit Events |
Determines whether the auditing information is to be included in the application server log file. Note: If you enable this option (logging), ensure that the Log Level value in the General tab is set to either Info or Debug. Any other value will result in the log file not accepting any information. |
Incremental Audit Dispatch |
Determines if the audit records are to be dispatched partially or completely every time there is a new record. |
You can set the severity levels using the Severity Level drop down list in the Audit tab (Figure 9-1). Severity levels are similar to those provided with Oracle WebLogic Server security. For WebLogic Server details, see Message Severity at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/logging/logging_services.html#wp1181596
.
Table 9-2 Oracle Data Service Integrator Audit Severity Levels
Level | Description |
---|---|
Debug |
This setting is often referred to as "verbose". Any audit property that can be added to the audit report is collected. |
Information |
Properties with information or higher conditions are collected for the audit report. |
Warning |
Properties with warning or higher conditions are collected for the audit report. |
Failure |
Properties with error or more higher conditions are collected for the audit report. |
This section includes the following topics:
This section describes the individual auditing properties that you can audit and to what level. To configure these auditing properties:
Acquire the lock.
Select the System Administration category
Click the Audit Properties tab as shown in Figure 9-2.
After configuring audit properties, click Save > Activate Changes to implement the audit settings.
Note:
Click Default Settings to rearrange the auditing properties to the default values.Audit properties can be configured at different levels and you can select the level using the Is Audited drop-down list. Table 9-3 lists the audit levels that you can set for each property. All levels listed in the table are not applicable to all the properties. Typically, each property has only three levels to choose from.
Note:
If you want the property-specific audit information to be returned to a client, then select the Available to Client check box.Table 9-3 Setting Individual Audit Properties
Level | Description |
---|---|
Always |
In this setting, the audit information of the property is always collected. |
Never |
In this setting, the audit information of the property is always ignored. |
At Default Level |
This setting configures the property at the default level. Note: This option is available only for the Select All Properties audit property. |
At Info Level |
In this setting, the audit information is collected if the global threshold level is Information or lower. |
At Warning Level |
In this setting, the audit information is collected if the global threshold level is Warning or lower. |
At Failure Level |
In this setting, the audit information is collected if the global threshold level is Failure or lower. |
At Debug Level |
In this setting, the audit information is collected if the global threshold level is Debug. |
Note:
After you set and apply individual auditing property settings, any changes you make on the individual properties will override the initial settings for that property only.Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console provides you with the option to select all audit properties to be audited using the Select All Properties node. You can set this property at the following levels:
Always
At Default Level
Never
All other individual properties are categorized into the following overall types depending on the corresponding operation that generates the audit data:

By default, auditing for all directly invoked functions can be enabled through the /query/service record for the dataspace using the Audit tab. However, to limit auditing to specific functions, set all properties of the /query/service record to NEVER and then enable audit for individual functions. To do so:
Acquire the lock and select the System Administration category.
Navigate to the data service level.
Select the Audit tab as shown in Figure 9-3.
Figure 9-3 Enabling Auditing for Individual Functions
If auditing for a function is enabled, all external calls to this function are audited. If the Enable Audit of Indirect Calls check box is selected, all calls originating from other data services are also audited.
Note:
Enabling audit of indirect calls may disable query optimization for that function, and decrease performance.This section includes the following topics:
You can record the audit information collected in the following ways.
WebLogic Server Security Framework. Each audit event is by default reported to the WebLogic Server Security Framework.
Oracle Data Service Integrator Client API. You can create an Oracle Data Service Integrator client API to record the information collected during audit.
Oracle Data Service Integrator Performance Profiling. You can use the Oracle Data Service Integrator audit provider for performance profiling by recording audit events generated by a dataspace.
Values of the audit properties are represented as Java objects of types: String, Integer, java.util.Date, Boolean, or String [ ].
Each audit event is sent to the WebLogic Server Security Framework as an instance of the weblogic.security.spi.AuditEvent
interface. Table 9-30 describes each event.
Table 9-30 WebLogic Server Audit Events
Event | Description |
---|---|
getEventType() |
Returns the event type, in this case |
getFailureException() |
Returns the exception type, if one is encountered. |
getSeverity() |
Returns the event severity level. |
toString() |
Returns the audit event details in an XML formatted representation. |
Depending on the configuration, each event can be sent to the WebLogic Server audit API asynchronously and buffered by the Oracle Data Service Integrator application.
The weblogic.security.spi.AuditEvent interface is implemented in the ld.server.audit.DSPAuditEvent interface, which collects all the information in the form of a list, where each entry is an instance of com.bea.dsp.DSPAuditEvent
.
DSPAuditEvent adds the interface described in Table 9-31.
Table 9-31 Oracle Data Service Integrator AuditEvent API
AuditEvent API | Description |
---|---|
getAllRecords() |
Returns all records as a list of |
getRecords(String recordType) |
Returns all records of a particular type as a list of |
getProperty(String propertyId) |
Returns all values for a particular property, across multiple records. |
getApplication() |
Returns the Oracle Data Service Integrator application identifier. |
getUser() |
Returns the user name of the application server user. |
getTimeStamp() |
Returns the time when the event was created. |
getEventKind() |
Returns the event type, which can be |
getVersion() |
Returns the event version, for example |
com.bea.ld.DSPAuditRecord
has the interface shown in Table 9-32.
Table 9-32 Oracle Data Service Integrator AuditRecord API
AuditRecord API | Description |
---|---|
getRecordType() |
Returns the type of record, for example common/time/duration. |
getAuditProperties() |
Returns all properties in the record. Maps from String identifier to Object value. |
A sample security services audit provider is included that demonstrates use of this API.
You can use the com.bea.ld.DataServiceAudit
client side instance as part of the com.bea.dsp.RequestConfig
class, to collect the audit information from the client API. This class collects the audit information and returns it when the operation is successful. If the operation fails for any reason, the com.bea.ld.QueryException
class can be used to collect the information as part of the exception thrown.
Note:
When using Streaming APIs, auditing will not be complete until the returned XMLInputStream has its close( ) method called. This means that the AuditEvent will not be dispatched to the audit provider by the server, and the RequestConfig.getDataServiceAudit() method will return null, until close( ) is called.Following are the four steps, with code examples, that need to be performed in order to retrieve audit information.
You need to initialize the RequestConfig class as shown in the following code example:
RequestConfig requestCfg = new RequestConfig(); requestCfg.enableFeature(RequestConfig.RETURN_DATA_SERVICE_AUDIT); requestCfg.enableFeature(RequestConfig.RETURN_AUDIT_PROPERTIES); requestCfg.setStringArrayAttribute(RequestConfig.RETURN_AUDIT_PROPERTIES, new String[] {"query/service/dataservice"});
You need to pass the RequestConfig object to the invoked operation. The code example below uses getCustomer as the invoked operation.
CUSTOMERDocument [] custDocRoot1 = (CUSTOMERDocument [])custDS.invoke("getCustomer", params, requestCfg);
You need to filter the data and ensure there is no unsecured access to it. Only those audit properties that are configured in the Oracle Data Service Integrator Administration Console to be allowed to return to the client, will be returned to the client application.
You need to retrieve the data service audit from the RequestConfig object, as shown in the code example below:
DataServiceAudit query = requestCfg.retrieveDataServiceAudit();
RequestConfig.RETURN_AUDIT_PROPERTIES is an array of string identifiers for audit properties. If you set this request attribute those specified properties will be collected for this particular evaluation even if they are not configured to be collected through the administration console. They will be returned only if it is allowed. If the RETURN_DATA_SERVICE_AUDIT request attribute is not enabled, only those properties will be returned.
RequestConfig.RETURN_DATA_SERVICE_AUDIT configures all collected audit information (that is allowed to be returned to the client application) to be returned.
Server log files contain information about the time spent to compile and execute a query. The log is in the following location:
<BEA_HOME>\user_projects\domains\domainName\serverName\server.log
For more information about WebLogic Server logs, see Viewing the WebLogic Server Logs at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/logging/ViewServerLogsFromTheConsole.html
.
You can configure the log levels, by application, using the General application configuration page. For more information, see Section 4.1, "Configuring the Cache and Log for a Dataspace ." The log levels include:
Error. Runtime exceptions.
Notice. Possible errors that do not affect runtime operation, as well as error level events.
Information. Start/stop events, unsuccessful access attempts, query execute times, and so on, as well as error and notice level events.
Debug logging occurs by default for any server in development mode. Client applications can contribute to the server log through the WebLogic Logger facility. For more information, see Using WebLogic Logging Services at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/i18n/app_logging.html
.
Query strings are echoed in the server log as a debug-level log message when the log level is set to Information in the Oracle Data Service Integrator Console and the WebLogic Administration Console is set to log debug messages to stdout.
You can use the WebLogic Server Administration Console to monitor the health and performance of the domain in which WebLogic is deployed, including resources such as servers, JDBC connection pools, JCA, HTTP, the JTA subsystem, JNDI, and Enterprise Java Beans (EJB).
The domain log is located in the following directory:
<BEA_HOME>\user_projects\domains\domainName\domainName.log
For more information, see "Monitoring a WebLogic Server Domain" in Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/ConsoleHelp/pagehelp/Corecoredomaindomainmonitorserverstitle.html
.
You can use performance monitoring tools, such as the OptimizeIt and JProbe profilers, to identify Oracle Data Service Integrator application "hot spots" that result in either high CPU utilization or high contention for shared resources.
For more information, see "Tuning WebLogic Server Applications" at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/perform/WLSTuning.html
