Prerequisites to Publish Statistics

The following prerequisites should be fulfilled in order to set up the Analytics Dashboard to publish the data processed by WSO2 IS.

Step 01: Download WSO2 IS Analytics

The binary distribution contains the binary files for both MS Windows and Linux-based operating systems.

Follow the steps below to download WSO2 IS Analytics binary distribution.

  1. Go to the WSO2 IS Analytics download page.
  2. Download the WSO2 Identity Server Analytics 5.8.0 pack.

    Note

    WSO2 Identity Server 5.11.0 analytics capabilities are fully compatible with WSO2 IS Analytics 5.8.0. Please note that WSO2 IS Analytics 5.8.0 is the recommended version for WSO2 Identity Server 5.11.0.

    1. To download the pack with updates, click SIGN-IN & DOWNLOAD .

    2. To download the pack without updates, click DOWNLOAD.

    Note

    The installation prerequisites for WSO2 IS Analytics is as same as for WSO2 Stream Processor (WSO2 SP). Therefore, for detailed information about the supporting applications you need to install, see WSO2 SP Installation Guide.

Step 02: Enable Analytics in WSO2 IS

Follow the steps below to enable event publishing in WSO2 IS.

  1. Open the deployment.toml file in the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/ directory.

  2. Enable the following event handlers by adding the following configurations to the same deployment.toml file.

    Event Handler org.wso2.carbon.identity.data.publisher.authentication.analytics.login.AnalyticsLoginDataPublishHandler
    Purpose

    Enable this handler only when you want to analyze login statistics in WSO2 IS. For more information, see Analyzing Statistics for Local Login Attempts .

    Configuration

    Event Handler org.wso2.carbon.identity.data.publisher.authentication.analytics.session.AnalyticsSessionDataPublishHandler
    Purpose

    Enable this handler only when you want to analyze session statistics in WSO2 IS Analytics. For more information, see Analyzing Statistics for Sessions .

    Configuration

    Enable analytics for Password grant logins Optionally, you can enable analytics for password grant type logins. Add the following configuration to the deployment.toml file to enable this feature.

    [analytics]
    publish_password_grant_logins=true

Step 03: Configure Event Publishers

In a fresh WSO2 IS pack, you can view all the event publishers related to WSO2 IS Analytics in the <IS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers directory.

Tip

The required configurations described below are available by default. Thus, follow this section to understand the analytics-related configurations used in the process and do any modifications if required.

WSO2 Analytics presents the login and/or session data published by WSO2 IS. To receive these data by Analytics, you need to configure the event publishers.

Follow the steps below to configure the event publishers:

  1. Configure the login analytics and session analytics using the following files. Update the properties based on the description given in the below table.

    1. Login analytics : <IS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/IsAnalytics-Publisher-wso2event-AuthenticationData.xml
    2. Session analytics : <IS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/IsAnalytics-Publisher-wso2event-SessionData.xml

      The configurations for login analytics and session analytics are almost the same except for event streams. This is because the format in which the events are captured for the two analytics are different. For more information event streams, see WSO2 SP Quick Start Guide.

      Warning

      The event streams that are specified for publishers should not be modified as that would cause errors in the default configuration.

      The common properties that can be configured for event publishers in the files mentioned above are as follows.

      Adapter Property Description Configuration File Example
      Receiver URL
      • This captures the target receiver URL to which the WSO2 IS-related information are sent as events.

      • Format:

      • When specifying the thrift port, the default port offsets done for WSO2 IS Analytics should be considered, e.g., if WSO2 IS Analytics was started with a port offset of 1 , the thrift port should be 7612 instead of 7611 .
      • For high availability scenarios, multiple analytics receivers can be defined by configuring multiple comma-separated URLs with the format.

      • As per the above configuration, events are published to all the defined receivers. For other ways of configuring the receiver URLs, see Collecting Events .
      receiverURL

      • This captures the URL of the authenticator.
      • Format:

      • When specifying the SSL port, the default port offsets done for WSO2 IS should be considered, e.g., if WSO2 IS was started with a port offset of 1 , the SSL port should be 7712 instead of 7711 .
      • This parameter is not included in the <IS_HOME>repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/IsAnalytics-Publisher-wso2event-AuthenticationData.xml file by default. When it is not included, the authenticator URL is derived by adding 100 to the thrift port.

      authenticatorURL

      ssl://localhost:7712


      User Name



      username wso2event-user
      Password
      • This captures the password of the listener.

      password wso2event-password
      Protocol
      • This captures the communication protocol that is used to publish events.

      protocol thrift/binary
      Publishing Mode
      • This captures the event publishing mode .

        • Non-blocking : This refers to asynchronouns publishing.
        • Blocking : This refers to sychronous publishing.
      publishingMode non-blocking/blocking
      Publishing Timeout
      • This captures the timeout for the non-blocking publishing mode that is denoted as a positive integer.

      publishTimeout 0

Step 04: Change the Admin Password and Add Key-store certificates

Similar to Step 03, change the admin password and import keystore certificates.

  1. Navigate to the <IS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/eventpublishers/IsAnalytics-Publisher-wso2event-AuthenticationData.xml configuration file and update the admin password.

    Note

    In a fresh WSO2 IS pack the password will appear in plain text. Once you restart the pack the password gets automatically encrypted.

    Example:

    <eventPublisher
    name="IsAnalytics-Publisher-wso2event-AuthenticationData"
    statistics="disable" trace="disable" xmlns="http://wso2.org/carbon/eventpublisher">
        <from streamName="org.wso2.is.analytics.stream.OverallAuthentication" version="1.0.0"/>
        <mapping customMapping="disable" type="wso2event"/>
        <to eventAdapterType="wso2event">
            <property name="username">admin</property>
            <property name="protocol">thrift</property>
            <property name="publishingMode">non-blocking</property>
            <property name="publishTimeout">0</property>
            <property name="receiverURL">tcp://localhost:7612</property>
            <property encrypted="true" name="password">kuv2MubUUveMyv6GeHrXr9il59ajJIqUI4eoYHcgGKf/BBFOWn96NTjJQI+wYbWjKW6r79S7L7ZzgYeWx7DlGbff5X3pBN2Gh9yV0BHP1E93QtFqR7uTWi141Tr7V7ZwScwNqJbiNoV+vyLbsqKJE7T3nP8Ih9Y6omygbcLcHzg</property>
        </to>
    </eventPublisher>

    If you want to change the admin password, include the new password in plain text in WSO2 IS event publishers.

  2. Import the public certificate of each keystore to the client­-truststore.jks of the WSO2 IS using the following command.

    keytool -import -alias <alias> -file <file_name> -keystore client-truststore.jks -storepass wso2carbon

Step 05: Run the Servers

Follow the steps below to run WSO2 IS and WSO2 IS Analytics.

  1. Run or restart WSO2 IS. For detailed instructions, see Running the Product.
  2. Run the WSO2 IS Analytics profiles.

    Note

    1. Run the Worker node of WSO2 IS Analytics. For detailed instructions, see WSO2 SP - Starting Worker Node .

    2. Run the Dashboard node of WSO2 IS Analytics. For detailed instructions, see WSO2 SP - Starting a Dashboard Node .
