Collecting logging information for 3rd party systems

Sometimes you may wish to collect logging information for use in 3rd party reporting and monitoring systems, e.g. Splunk.

The following query gives the crucial information for each task and log message:

select
    lf.name as task_name,
    lf.start_dtm as task_start_dtm,
    lf.end_dtm as task_end_dtm,
    u.username,
    concat(concat(lu.first_name,' '), lu.last_name) as local_user_name,
    concat(concat(eu.first_name,' '), eu.last_name) as domain_user_name,
    lf.complete_boo as task_complete_boo,
    lm.message_type,
    lm.message_sequence,
    lm.message_dtm,
    lm.message
from
    log_file lf
    left join log_message lm on lf.log_file_id = lm.log_file_id
    left join cv_user u on u.user_id = lf.user_id
    left join local_user lu on lu.user_id = lf.user_id
    left join external_user eu on eu.user_id = lf.user_id

To run this query you will need read access to the following tables in the PhixFlow schema:

• log_file
• log_message
• local_user
• external_user

The following message types (m.message_type) are found in PhixFlow log files:

• WARNING
• DEBUG
• ERROR
• INFO

The task_name field in the results will be one of:

• A task plan name, if a task plan was run directly or under a schedule
• A stream name, if a stream was run directly (for example, from a model view)
• An action name, if an streamAction triggered the task plan

This is simply what appears in the Name field of the Active Tasks and Completed Tasks windows in the System Console.
