We’re pleased to announce that DataPower Buddy 3.2.4 is now available. The focus of this release is on improved audit and logging.
DPBuddy now generates an audit log file in JSON format, in addition to the XML format supported in earlier releases. This file can be easily tailed, analyzed with jq and/or uploaded to an enterprise SIEM tool. DPBuddy now uses logback framework for auditing and logging. This provides a lot of flexibility in configuring log file location, rollover policies, appenders and other parameters.
Other new features include:
- DPBuddy now captures import failures in the audit log.
- backup command now supports the new option/attribute, “failIfNoDomain”. If set to “false”, “backup” will not fail if the target domain does not exist.
- Better error handling. A root cause of an error now reported automatically, without having to run the tool in verbose mode.
- Bug fixes.
To upgrade to this release, you can simply download and un-archive the distribution and point your DPBUDDY_HOME environment variable to the new location. If you’re using DPBuddy from Apache Ant, you will also need to add <pathelement location=”${dpbuddy.home}/conf”/> to the DPBuddy library’s “taskdef” in your Ant files, otherwise, you will see verbose logging output in the console.
You can download DPBuddy 3.2.4 from this page.
