  • 1.  Monitoring User Actions in API Manager

    Posted Tue July 18, 2023 08:04 AM
    Hi all,
     
    Is it possible to determine whether a user has republished or made code changes in API Manager?

    Hi Anusha, 

    The catalog product field has a "modified" status so you will know that the product was republished but I am not sure if there is information on who made the modification. I am asking the team about it now. 

    Edit: you could possibly check the apim logs to see if there are additional information tracked about who made changes/published.

    Hi Anusha…

    You can configure to enable audit logging so that user actions in API Manager and Cloud Manager will get logged in syslog. The below link explains about configuring audit logging.

    Hi All,

    We have configured syslog in the cloud admin using the IP address and port of the syslog server. However, our syslog server team is reporting that they are not receiving any logs. It's important to note that the port being used is UDP, so we cannot perform a telnet test on the worker nodes. As a result, I'm unsure whether the issue is related to firewall access or some other underlying problem.

    Can someone assist me in resolving this matter?

    Hi Anusha…

    Can you share the audit setting configuration. In addition, firewall team can check whether traffic is passing between api manager and syllogism server

    Hi @Ashok Beshra,

    The firewall team mentioned that there is no traffic passing between the API manager and the Syllogism server, please find the attached images for your reference. We are not receiving any logs by executing the attached command.
