JFrog Artifactory - Classic Collector

Thumbnail icon

JFrog Artifactory is a universal artifact repository manager that integrates with CI/CD and DevOps tools to provide artifact tracking. The Sumo Logic app for Artifactory 7 provides insight into your JFrog Artifactory binary repository. Our preconfigured dashboards provide an overview of your system as well as Traffic, Requests and Access, Download Activity, Cache Deployment Activity, and Non-Cached Deployment Activity.

If you do not have a Sumo Logic account and want to get up and running quickly, the JFrog Artifactory Sumo Logic integration is the most convenient way to get started. It allows you to access Sumo Logic directly from Artifactory.

If you have an existing Sumo Logic account, you can still use the integration, however, this will create a secondary Sumo Logic account. To use your existing account, install the Sumo Logic app for Artifactory instead of the integration and access your Artifactory data from Sumo Logic, rather than your Artifactory instance.

Prerequisites​

  • If you're using Artifactory Online, you'll need use the integration (our app is not compatible with Artifactory Online).
  • If you're using Artifactory On-Premise, you can use our app or the integration.

Artifactory 7​

This procedure documents how to collect logs from JFrog Artifactory 7 into Sumo Logic.

Log types​

For each JFrog service, you will find its active log files in the $JFROG_HOME/<product>/var/log directory. For consistency, each log file is prefixed by its service name and a dash, <service-name>-service.log. For example, artifactory-service.log and router-request.log.

  • artifactory-service.log
  • artifactory-access.log
  • artifactory-request.log
  • artifactory-traffic.*.log

For more information, see JFrog's Artifactory Log Files and Access Logs documentation.

Collecting logs​

Step 1: Activate the traffic.log file​

  1. To activate the traffic.log file, add the following parameter to your artifactory.system.properties file, located under $ARTIFACTORY/etc:
    $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/artifactory.system.properties
  2. A restart is required for traffic collection to take effect.

Step 2: Configure a collector​

Configure an Installed Collector.

Step 3: Configure sources​

In this step, you configure four local file sources, one for each log source listed in the table below. When you create a file source for a log type:

  • Use the value from the File Path column below as the File Path for the source.
  • The value you specify for the source's Source Category must end with the suffix shown below in the Source Category column. For example, you could set the Source Category for the Artifactory Server log source to be foo/artifactory/ console, but not artifactory/console/foo.

The following suffixes are required. For example, you could use _sourceCategory=<Foo>/artifactory/console, but the suffix artifactory/console must be used.

Log sourceFile PathSource Category
Artifactory Server and other microservices$JFROG_HOME/<product>/var/log/artifactory-service.logartifactory/console
Access$JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/artifactory/log/artifactory-access.log.artifactory/access
Request$JFROG_HOME/<product>/var/log/artifactory-request.logartifactory/request
Traffic$JFROG_HOME/<product>/var/log/artifactory-traffic.*.logartifactory/traffic
note

Remember that _sourceCategory names are case sensitive. When you run a search using _sourceCategory, make sure you use the same case as you did when configuring the source.

For complete instructions, see Local File Source.

  1. Configure a Local File source.
  2. Configure the Source fields:
    • Name (required). A name is required.
    • Description (optional).
    • Source Category. (required)
  3. Configure the Advanced section:
    • Enable Timestamp Parsing. True.
    • Time Zone. Logs are in UTC by default.
    • Timestamp Format. Auto Detect.
    • Encoding Type. UTF-8.
    • Multi-line Parsing. Detect Messages Spanning Multiple Lines, Infer Boundaries.
  4. Click Save.

Artifactory Online Sumo Logic integration​

The JFrog Artifactory Sumo Logic integration provides the ability to access preconfigured Sumo Logic Dashboards directly from Artifactory that will allow you to analyze data from your Artifactory logs.

If you do not have an existing Sumo Logic account, enable the JFrog Artifactory Sumo Logic integration directly from Artifactory. When you enable the integration, a Sumo Logic Connector and Source get automatically configured, and the Sumo Logic App for Artifactory gets installed automatically. The JFrog Artifactory Sumo Logic integration provides a new Sumo Logic Free account with a daily data volume limit of 500MB per day, with 30 users and 14 days of data retention.

If you have an existing Sumo Logic account, you can configure Artifactory Online to send data (described below) to an existing Sumo Logic HTTP Logs and Metrics source.

Collect Artifactory logs​

The integration collects data from the following Artifactory logs:

  • artifactory.log. The main Artifactory log file that contains data on Artifactory server activity.
  • access.log. The security log containing important information about accepted and denied requests, configuration changes, and password reset requests. For each event, the originating IP address gets recorded.
  • request.log. Generic HTTP traffic information similar to the Apache HTTPd request log.
  • traffic.*.log. A log containing information about site traffic and file sizes.

For more details about Artifactory logs, refer to JFrog's Artifactory Log Files.

Field Extraction Rules​

Here are Artifactory extraction rules that use different approaches.

Traffic
_sourceCategory=*artifactory*
| where _sourceCategory matches "*artifactory/traffic"
| parse regex "(?<year>\d{4})(?<month>\d{2})(?<day>\d{2})(?<hour>\d{2})(?<minute>\d{2})(?<second>\d{2})\|\d*\|(?<direction>[^|]*)\|\s*(?<ip>\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}|[^|]*)\|(?<repo>[^:]*):(?<fullfilepath>[^|]*)\|(?<size>\d*)" nodrop
Access Logs
_sourceCategory=*artifactory*
| where _sourceCategory matches "*artifactory/access"
| parse "[*] *:* for */*" as what, repo, path, user, ip
Request Logs
_sourceCategory=*artifactory*
| where _sourceCategory matches "*artifactory/request"
| parse "*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*" as datetime, response_time, type, ip, user, method, path, protocol, status_code, size

Installing the Artifactory app​

Now that you have set up collection, install the Sumo Logic app for Artifactory to use the pre-configured searches and Dashboards that provide insight into your data.

To install the app, do the following:

  1. Select App Catalog.
  2. In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
  3. Click Install App.
    note

    Sometimes this button says Add Integration.

  4. Click Next in the Setup Data section.
  5. In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
    1. Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
      • Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list for Default Value.
      • Choose Custom, and enter a custom metadata field. Insert its value in Default Value.
  6. Click Next. You will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.

Post-installation

Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Installed Apps folder, and dashboard panels will start to fill automatically.

Each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results will not immediately be available, but will update with full graphs and charts over time.

Viewing JFrog Artifactory dashboards​

All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.

  • You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
  • You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
  • Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (_sourceCategory by default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.
