Mule ESB Volumetric Reporting

Question

I would like to provide a daily report showing, for the various Mule Flows deployed, message volumes (hourly or user defined) and average processing for the period defined. The data used in the report should be in a simple format, csv or similar, so that it can be loaded into Excel or a database.

Does anyone have any suggestions about how best to achieve the above - either tools I can use to capture the data myself, or even packaged monitoring products. The MMC is ok, but it only shows totals (or averages based on the totals), plus the data cannot be exported (easily).

Thanks, Phil

Answer 1

Have you consider activating Business events with default event tracking? This will put all this information plus more in a database, the only trade off is that you have to maintain that database to not to occupy all disk space, etc.

Answer 2

In our case we're using Elastic Stack (ES, Logstash and Kibana) for this purpose. More info in https://www.elastic.co/v5

We use logstash for getting Mule logs to ES. You can track almost everything from Flows logs.

It's obviously with Business Events.
