  • 1.  Analytics Long Term Summary Data

    Posted 03/26/24 09:13 AM

    Hi Chris,

    In below blog you mentioned that the API Connect v10.0.6 APIC includes the ability to transform the stored data for long term storage, this allows the retention of trend and summary information over considerable periods of time - multiple quarters, even years - and this retention is separate from the retention of the full detailed API events themselves.

    Analytics Long Term Summary Data (ibm.com)

    My question: Will API Connect replicate the long term summary data between two data centers? Same as Portal Service and Management Service as below screenshot, six nodes are in one cluster? 

    Thank you!

    No it won't. Analytics holds exponentially more data than the other subsystems combined, it's not unusual for the analytics database to be terabytes in size.

    the screenshot you posted shows two separate gateway services each with their own analytics service. There is no replication of either the gateway or analytics, however because there are two separate services they are able to be active/active with both serving traffic at the same time. The analytics data in each service to separate though- it cannot be replicated over to the other. Bi-directional replication of terabytes of database content (ensuring no events lost or duplicated) is not a simple problem to solve so is simply not possible today.

    You could set both analytics services to offload to the same remote target (eg splunk or ELK)?
