Enabling tracing on the BPMN event emitter

You can enable detailed tracing of the BPMN event emitter by adding a package to the trace definition in the WebSphere® Application Server administration console.

About this task

You can trace the following activity of the BPM event emitter.

Whether the native JSON DEF events are correctly transformed to IBM® Business Automation Workflow raw events.
Whether the transformed events are sent to Kafka.

Procedure

Open the WebSphere Application Server administration console.
Navigate to Troubleshooting > Logs and trace > application_cluster_name > Change log details level > Runtime.
The application_cluster_name placeholder is a generic name which is provided at IBM Business Automation Workflow installation time.
Add the following package to the trace definition.
```
: com.ibm.bpm.mon.oi.*=all
```
This setting is dynamic, that is, you do not need to restart the cluster members.

Results

For each application cluster member, the trace is written to the <BAW_Install_Dir>/profiles/<node_profile>/logs/<cluster_member>/trace.log file.
