This Trace SQL Store Component contains a Trace DAO implementation that can be used by the trace engine to store trace messages in a database.

The configuration options are found below in this documentBlueriq 14.8 introduces the possibility to consume trace events that are pushed on a queue by the Trace Event Publisher Component and then store them in a database in an asynchronous way. See consume trace events.

Requirements

This component persists data in a database, that must be provided. See platform support for the supported databases.

Optional: the consumer functionality needs to be able to access a queue. Currently only RabbitMQ is supported. For setting this up see Configuration of RabbitMQ for Customerdata service and Trace Event Publisher.

Installation

In order to use this component, the trace-sql-store or trace-sql-store-without-timeline the

The trace can be used in different settings, to configure how the trace will behave, and how the timeline will behave. In the table below, different combinations of bootstrap.properties

Configuration

Database

Scripts to create the required database content are provided for the following databases:

• SQL Server
• Oracle
• H2 (we do we do not recommend using recommend using a H2 database in production environments)

...

1. If necessary, create a new datasource. See Configuring JDBC database drivers for information on how to do this.
2. Trace SQL Store component is using the trace-sql-store datasource to store data. The trace-sql-store datasource can be configured using JDBC or JNDI.
   

   1. Using JDBC datasource : this can be configured in the  application-externaldatasources.properties file.  When When configuring external datasources, the externaldatasources 

      Include Page
      _ProfileExternalDatasources _ProfileExternalDatasources

      profile should be enabled.

      Code Block
      language powershell title application-externaldatasources.properties
      blueriq.datasource.trace-sql-store.url=jdbc:sqlserver://<database_url>:<port>;databaseName=bq_comments;instance=SQL_EXPRESS blueriq.datasource.trace-sql-store.username=<username> blueriq.datasource.trace-sql-store.password=<password> blueriq.datasource.trace-sql-store.driverClassName=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver blueriq.hibernate.trace-sql-store.hbm2ddl.auto=validate blueriq.hibernate.trace-sql-store.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect

   2. Using JNDI datasource : this can be configured in the  application-jndidatasources.properties file When configuring JNDI datasources the jndidatasources profile the

      Include Page
      _ProfileJndiDatasources _ProfileJndiDatasources

      profile should be enabled.

      Code Block
      language powershell title application-jndidatasources.properties
      blueriq.datasource.trace-sql-store.jndiName=java:/comp/env/jdbc/blueriqTrace blueriq.hibernate.trace-sql-store.hbm2ddl.auto=validate blueriq.hibernate.trace-sql-store.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2012Dialect

3. Configuring the datasource from the Development Dashboard
   Go to Settings Widget → Datasources tab → On the left side menu : select trace-sql-store datasource. The same properties are available for configuration as from the properties file. Make sure the corresponding profile is enabled (externaldatasources or jndidatasources

   Include Page
   _ProfileExternalDatasources _ProfileExternalDatasources

   or

   Include Page
   _ProfileJndiDatasources _ProfileJndiDatasources

   )
4. Hibernate settings
   These settings are done for each datasource type in the corresponding properties file, as in the examples above.
   
   

...

Supported hbm2ddl.auto values:

• none
• validate

Consume trace events

The Trace SQL Store component can store trace messages directly in the database, but it is also possible to decouple the storage of trace messages using the Trace Event Publisher Component to publish trace events to a queue and then consume them using this component.

To be able to consume event messages, the event channel needs to be configured in the

# RabbitMQ configuration

blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.version=2.0
blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.rabbitmq.host=localhost
blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.rabbitmq.port=5672
blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.rabbitmq.virtualHost=/
blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.rabbitmq.username=guest
blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.rabbitmq.password=guest
blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.rabbitmq.queueNames=trace

# Enable consumer functionality

blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.enabled=true

Enable TLS connection

To enable a secure (TLS) AMQP connection to the queue, set the property "blueriq.trace.event.listener.amqp.rabbitmq.ssl.enabled" to "true".
The default for AQMP port with TLS on RabbitMQ is '5671', it needs to be explicitly enabled though, see https://www.rabbitmq.com/ssl.html for more information.

Performance

The performance impact of the Trace SQL Store is minimal when used normally: to write trace messages to the database.
