Auditing data from message flows

Use ATNAAudit nodes to create and send audit messages to an ATNA audit repository.

To send ATNA audit messages to an ATNA audit repository, complete the following steps:

1. Collect the following connection information about the ATNA audit repository to which audit messages are sent:
   • Transport protocol you use to communicate with the ATNA audit repository
   • Address, and port you use to communicate with the ATNA audit repository
2. Create a configurable service to define the audit settings for the message flows that you want to audit.
   For more information, see: Enabling message flows to send ATNA audit messages.

   Note: The audit settings are set at the integration node level. These settings affect the ATNAAudit nodes in all the message flows running on an integration node.
3. For each message flow that processes data that you want to audit, complete the following steps:
   1. Edit the message flow and add an ATNAAudit node.
   2. Configure the auditing capability in the node by selecting the Audit enabled property.
      For more information, see: ATNAAudit node.
   3. Use other IBM Integration Bus nodes in your message flow, for example a Mapping or JavaCompute node, to create XML audit messages and route them to the ATNAAudit node. For details of the audit messages that you can create, see XML audit messages.
4. Complete your message flow. For more information about developing integration solutions, see Developing message flows in the IBM Integration Bus product documentation.
