[OHS]: Configure Webgate to include Execution context ID (ECID)

Enabling Webgate ECID Logs:


1) Go to Webgate Instance Directory:

bash$> $OHS_HOME/instances/instance1/config/OHS/ohs1/

2) Change Directory to webgate config folder:

bash$> cd webgate/config

3) Open oblog_config_wg.xml file to edit it:

bash$> vi oblog_config_wg.xml

4) By default LOGLEVEL_ECID will be off. Thus it is required to 'On' the logging.

<!--  LOGLEVEL_ECID logs will be logged in a seperate file by default 
  --> 
- <!--  By default LOGLEVEL_ECID will be off.                           
  --> 
- <!--  To make it on change "LOG_STATUS" parameter to "On"             
  --> 
- <ValNameList xmlns="http://www.oblix.com" ListName="LogEcid2File">
  <NameValPair ParamName="LOG_LEVEL" Value="LOGLEVEL_ECID" /> 
  <NameValPair ParamName="LOG_WRITER" Value="MPFileLogWriter" /> 
  <NameValPair ParamName="FILE_NAME" Value="webgate.ecid.log" /> 
- <!--  Buffer up to 64 KB (expressed in bytes) of log entries before flushing to the file. 
  --> 
  <NameValPair ParamName="BUFFER_SIZE" Value="512" /> 
- <!--  Rotate the log file once it exceeds 50 MB (expressed in bytes). 
  --> 
  <NameValPair ParamName="MAX_ROTATION_SIZE" Value="52428800" /> 
- <!--  Rotate the log file after 24 hours (expressed in seconds). 
  --> 
  <NameValPair ParamName="MAX_ROTATION_TIME" Value="86400" /> 
  <NameValPair ParamName="LOG_STATUS" Value="Off" /> 
  </ValNameList>

5) Here we need to change the LOG_STATUS Value to "On"

<!-- <NameValPair ParamName="LOG_STATUS" Value="Off" /> -->

<NameValPair ParamName="LOG_STATUS" Value="On" />

6) If we want to get the logs write quickly, no buffer storage. We can reduce the BUFFER_SIZE to "1".

7) Save the changes. And we are good to go...!!!!
8) Restart the OHS Web Server.

9) You will see a log file created in the diagnoistics folder named "webgate.ecid.log"

bash$> cd $OHS_HOME/instances/<instance_name>/diagnostics/logs/OHS/ohs1/
bash$> ls *ecid*
webgate.ecid.log


Enjoy :-)
