MC2

REST Services Deployment and Enablement

MC2

is enabled by the following steps:

1. Install the Eagle/MC2 "all-services" packages from the EagleML Installer.

1. Reference EagleML / MC2 Release

1. Deployment for detailed steps of the deployment.

2. After

1. deploying,

1. configure the Eagle Web Services

1. front-end to enable

1. REST and SOAP services.

1. Reference the Installation additional configurations for

1. MC2 for configuration details.

2. After

1. front-end configuration,

1.  restart the Eagle WebServer and/or IIS to ensure the configuration

1. changes take effect.

MC2

REST Endpoints Routing

MC2 currently supports the following

REST Services:

• MC2 REST Endpoints for Simple Extracts

• MC2 REST

• Endpoints for the Generic Extractor (POST only)

• EDS/EQL Endpoints (POST only)

• Health Check Endpoints (backend access only)

• PACE report service (additional services outside MC2) to run OLAP reports (both POST and GET requests).

MC2 Rest Service Routes

For the MC2 Generic Load/Extract, it travels through the following route:

REST Client → Web Server (Security Validation) → MC2 Load Balancer → MC2 Worker.

For an MC2

EDS Request, it travels through the following route:

REST Client → Web Server (Security Validation) → MC2 Load Balancer → Pyruleservice.

For

PACE Report Service

REST Request, it

takes the route below:

REST Client → Web Server (Security Validation) → MC2 Load Balancer →

PACE Report Service.

If an error occurs, it depends on the type of request and error code

to resolve.  Review and identify the route and then check each endpoint of the route to diagnose the trouble endpoint(s).

General Troubleshooting

When

invoking MC2

REST services, it returns a status code which follows the standard of HTTP

response codes:

• 200+   OK

• 400+   bad client request

• 500+   internal server error

Possible

Client-Side Requests Issues

When

REST Invocation responds with an error code int range of 400+, it usually indicates that the error is on the client end with the exception of when server endpoint is down.

Frequently bad request error codes are:

• 400 - Bad request

• 401 - Unauthorized

• 403 - Forbidden

• 404 - Not Found

When encountering client-side errors

:

• If the response code = 400 or 404, check if

• the requested URL is correct or the server URL is accessible.

• If the response code = 401, check if the correct authentication parameters, user name or password, is specified correctly as part of request.

• If the response code = 403, the specified URL is not allowed.

Possible

Server Endpoint Services Issues

When

the REST Invocation

fails with error code >= 500, it indicates

a server

side error.

Review the following items:

• Are all corresponding backend endpoints

• up and running?

• Are are all System configurations accurate?

• Are all deployed Endpoints versions

• compatible?

There are multiple ways to check if all backend services are up and running. It is easier to log in to the backend servers

with backend

access to perform the following checks

:

• Check MC2 health using

• the Healthcheck Url

From the browser, check the health check url http://{appserver}:{healthcheckport}/health. On the returning

JSON, check if all services are "UP".

• From the backend, check if the MC2 services (extractservicelb, extractserviceworker, kafkaservice and pyruleservices) are up and running:

Please

reference the MC2 Troubleshooting to check if all the required services endpoint

are up and running.

• Check version incompatibilities

It is strongly recommended that all MC2 components

are from the same release. Please

reference the Installed Version Check and verify all installed versions.

For an issue related to the pace-reportservice endpoint, check the following:

• Is the pace-reportservice deployed?

"pace-reportservice" is deployed on $EAGLE_ROOT_TO_APP/estar/tpe/servers/pace-reportservice. Ensure there is a deployed version in the path.

• Is the pace-reportservice up and running?

Login to backend,

run the command "ps -ef | grep pace-reportserivce" and

review if the process is up and running.

Frequently Encountered Issues and Troubleshooting Steps

Receive Eagle

Landing Page When Invoking REST Service

When submitting the REST request, the request produces the landing page contents instead of the expected JSON data response

.  This is usually due to a configuration issue and/or issues on the Eagle WebServer.

Use the following steps to diagnose the issue:

Check Configuration

Check the ${EagleAppToRoot}/tpe/cfg/starsecuity.ini configurations specified

in the Installation additional configurations for

MC2 and validate all corresponding configuration from all WebServer nodes.

Repeat the above actions for all the WebServer nodes and ensure the changes

have been made for all WebServer nodes.

Check the Status of WebServer(s)

From the System Management Console (sample image below), check all of the listed services

"Type" equal to  "WEBSERVER" have the "last recycle" time greater than the timestamp of the starsecurity.ini and

the "Status Message" reflects the value of "UP".

The following URLs can be used for a quick diagnosis of the health of MC2 rest endpoints

. Replace webserver with webserver hostname or IP address.
