Use of log collector

[honeybakliwal]

http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-administration-guide/v62/using-log-collectors-0

 

With the above url I was able to create the log collector but unfortunately it encrypt and create logs and there is no way to decrypt the logs. So can anyone guide why are we getting an encrypted log file and if the output has to be in encrypted format than Please guide me how can we decrypt that.

Thanks

Documentation is missing some info.....

by default server will encrypt logs/resources/datasnapshots because they contain sensitive data.

You can disable default encryption by setting "allowEncryption" to false in applicationContext-export-import-web.xml file.

if you want just import resources (incuding datasnapshot) for report replay then during import of export.zip file it will be decrypted automaticaly by target server if it have same set of encryption settings as source server.

if you want just decrypt logs then you should use buildomatic "js-ant" 

supported commands:

js-ant encrypt-diagnostics-data -DinFile=inputTarget -DencProps=encryptionPropertyFile
js-ant decrypt-diagnostics-data -DinFile=inputTarget -DencProps=encryptionPropertyFile

where "inputTarget" is path to file or folder for encryption|decryption and "encryptionPropertyFile" is path to file with encryption settings with folowing format:

crypto.algo=
crypto.transf=
crypto.block.size=16
crypto.key.bytes= 

you can pick algorithm, transformation and key from source server in "diagnosticDataCipherer" bean which is located in applicationContext-import-export-web.xml file, if those are not there then look at "importExportCipher" bean which is located in applicationContext-security.xml file

For those who need this, take in count that the setting to avoid the encryption was moved :

IMPORTANT: In TIBCO JasperReports^® Server v6.3.0 and newer, this bean has been moved to ../WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml file.
