Windows DXL broker has two components:
- DXL Broker
All DXL client communications go through the DXL brokers. Think of them like a router in your home works.
- DXL Broker Integration Pattern Engine (IPE)
- The Integration Pattern Engine is a new component of the DXL Broker that allows extending the DXL Broker functionality.
- Integration with ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) extensions can register Patterns with DXL that are enforced on designated DXL Brokers.
- These Patterns can be transformations on the same fabric or bridges to other networks.
How to enable Windows DXL Broker logging:
DXL Broker:
Background details
- Service name: dxlbroker
- Process name: dxlbroker.exe
- Log name: dxlbroker.log
- Log path: C:\programdata\McAfee\dxlbroker\logs\dxlbroker.log.
To enable debug logging in the dxlbroker.log file:
- Edit the file name dxlbroker.conf.defaults.
NOTE: The file path is: C:\programdata\McAfee\dxlbroker\dxlbroker.conf.defaul
- Scroll down to the line below:
# The broker logging level: error, warn, info, or debug
logLevel=info
- Change the document content to:
# The broker logging level: error, warn, info, or debug
logLevel=debug
DXL Broker IPE:
Background details:
- Service name: dxlipe
- Process name: dxlipe.exe
- Log name: ipe.log
- Log path: C:\programdata\McAfee\dxlbroker\logs\ipe.log
To enable debug logging in the
ipe.log file:
- Edit the file name log4j.properties.
NOTE: The file path for log4j is: C:\Program Files\McAfee\dxlbroker\ipe\conf\log4j.properties
- Scroll down to the section below:
log4j.rootLogger=info,file
#File appender
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=C:/ProgramData/McAfee/dxlbroker/logs/ipe.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=1MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=5
- Implement the changes highlighted below:
log4j.rootLogger=debug,file
#File appender
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=C:/ProgramData/McAfee/dxlbroker/logs/ipe.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=20MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=9
