Replicate UI logs

I want to check the replicate UI logs where some change in the settings is recorded. For example, in End point connections we have set up log back up and selected option to Prioritize online logs setting. For some reason the setting got dropped and it went back to Online logs.

Not sure who changed it or how it got changed.

Hi @Raviraj ,

Replicate UI does not possess audit feature. Please check if the Qlik Enterprise Manager(QEM) can provide the needed functionality. However, such as "selected option to Prioritize online logs setting", QEM does not document each step at such a detailed level.

Desmond

Your best bet is probably to have a weekly or even daily script to  perform exportrepository to capture a date-time stamped JSON capture of all tasks, all endpoints. It's useful as backup and change control. 

Just collect in a zip file is probably good enough.

But you could  go crazy and after an fresh export compare against the prior version(s). If 'the same' except for the time/date stamp then you can delete that prior version. If different send a quick Email with change summary (task name, or endpoint name perhaps, to some person or group to decide whether the change was expected or not. A script could also be set up to retain the last 10 daily ones always, a weekly snapshot for 10 weeks, and a monthly snapshot for ever.

Dear @Raviraj ,

 

I have understood your exact query and you wish to inspect the changes happened on the application via logs.

 

Replicate UI logs are files that record the activities and events of the Qlik Replicate user interface. They can help you troubleshoot issues, monitor performance, and audit changes in the replication settings.

 

To check the replicate UI logs, you need to access the log directory of the Qlik Replicate server. The default location of the log directory is:

 

On Windows: C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Replicate\log

On Linux: /var/opt/attunity/replicate/log

You can also change the log directory location by editing the DataDirectory parameter in the attreplicate.ini file.

 

To find out who or what changed the settings in the End point connections, you can look for the following entries in the replicate UI logs:

 

User <username> changed the endpoint <endpoint name> configuration

User <username> executed the command <command name> on the endpoint <endpoint name>

Endpoint <endpoint name> configuration was changed by <source>

The <source> can be either API, CLI, or UI.

 

If you have any other queries, feel free to ask me. 😊

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for your reply. Somehow I dont see the logs in the path you have mentioned and also cant find the attreplicate.ini file anywhere in the Attunity install folder. Not sure if I am missing something 

Thanks

Hi Desmond

As I understand it , QEM will only monitor the health status of Replicate and compose. Does it have ability to check for the configuration changes within Replicate and compose?

 

Thanks

Hi @Raviraj 

QEM does have an audit capability which you can read about here: Creating an audit trail | Qlik Enterprise Manager Help

I believe it can only audit changes made within the QEM tool, not if they were made directly in Replicate/Compose.

Hope this helps,

Dana

Hi @Raviraj ,

In my previous response, the attached link is about QEM's Creating an Audit Trail. You can export audit information to a csv file.

Let's say you modify the endpoint. You would find following information:

Request Action: putdatabase
Payload: Your endpoint details. (Copy the link and paste it to the browser.)

The "Payload" does not specify which parameter has been modified. It may be necessary to compare historical records to discern the differences.

Regards,
Desmond
