Capture the Activity Stream of Integrations in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console

You can use the public logging service capabilities of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to collect and manage the activity stream (ics-flow log file) of integrations. When logging is enabled, a file called activity-stream-json.log that includes a subset of each line of messages in the ics-flow log file is created and pushed to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for analysis.

See Service Logs.

By default, thirty days of activity stream, customer-facing logs can be persisted. Up to six months of data can be stored in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console. There are additional ways to store data for longer periods of time such as using a service connector hub, in which the log can be sent to your object storage or outside of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You can also disable logging, as necessary.

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure logging service provides a highly scalable and fully managed logging environment. See Logging Overview.

You can also still access the same activity stream details from the monitoring section of Oracle Integration. See View the Dashboard in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration Generation 2.

The following steps describe how to create a log group and enable the log from the main logging service page in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If you want, you can also create a log group and enable the log from the Oracle Integration instance details page. Select Log in the left navigation pane, click the Enable Log icon in the table, and complete the fields in the dialog box that is displayed.

  1. Open the navigation menu and click Logging.
  2. Under Logging in the left navigation pane, click Log Groups.
  3. From the Compartment list, select the compartment to use.
  4. Click Create Log Group.
  5. Enter a log group name, optional description, tag, and click Create.
  6. Under Resources, click Logs.
  7. Click Enable service log.

  9. Click Enable Log.
    The details page for the log is displayed. The Status field indicates that the log creation is in progress. Once log creation is complete and activated, you can perform tasks such as disabling the log (it is automatically enabled), editing the log name, changing the log group, adding tags, and deleting the log.

    You can also and take actions on your logs by creating rules to export your contents.
