8. Integration with MuleSoft APIs

9. 9
● Logs must be consistent, reliable and easily accessible so that it can be used for monitoring
and troubleshooting any production issues.
● MuleSoft Anypoint Platform has its own logging mechanism to store application logs.
● It has a limitation of storing the logs of 100 MB in size or for a duration of 30 days.
● To overcome this limitation we need to push the logs to some external tools.
● This external tool can be AWS ELK, Splunk, Datadog or any other storage like a database or
File system using CloudHub Management APIs
● Today we will see MuleSoft integration with Splunk using the HTTP/S appender of log4j2.xml.
CloudHub Logs Limitation

10. 10
● Splunk is a technology that is used for searching, monitoring, visualizing, and analyzing
machine data on a real-time.
● It is a tool for log management and analysis.
● It is mainly for log management and stores the real-time data as events in the form of indexers.
● It helps to visualize data in the form of dashboards.
What is Splunk?

11. 11
● Enhanced GUI with dashboards.
● Faster troubleshooting with instant results.
● Best suited for root cause analysis.
● Get access to create dashboards, graphs, and alerts.
● Investigate and search for specific results.
● Monitor business metrics for informed decision making.
● Better log management from multiple sources.
● Accepts data in multiple formats.
● Can create one central repository for Splunk data collected from multiple sources.
