Enabling collection of use case statistics - BMC internal use

BladeLogic Portal can collect statistics on certain user activities. To enable collection, instruct the user to modify a setting in the bmc-config.json file. Users do not gain or lose anything when this capability is turned on or off. 

Here is a list of the user actions that are tracked:

• Logins and logouts
• Security and Operator Dashboard views
• Filters used on the Security and Operator Dashboards
• Remediation operations created
• Non-remediation operations created (that is, Deploy, Batch, NSH Script, and so forth)
• Import button clicks (on the Scan Import page)
• Auto-maps performed (for assets and vulnerabilities)
• Manual mapping performed
• Enrolling of assets
• Exclusions of vulnerabilities
• Unmappings of assets and vulnerabilities
• Manual target rule definition (that is, manual mapping of a vulnerability to remediation content based on specified rules)

To enable or disable collection of statistics

1. Open the bmc-config.json file for editing.
   Typically, this file resides at <install_location>/portal/configuration/bmc-config.json.
2. Search for for this string: categoryDebugLevels.
3. Perform either of the following actions:
   • To enable collection of statistics, append USAGE=info to the value of the categoryDebugLevels entry.  For example, the value of the entry might appear as follows:
     "categoryDebugLevels":"GENERAL=info,USAGE=info",
     or
"categoryDebugLevels":"USAGE=info", 
   • To disable collection of statistics, remove USAGE=info from the value.
4. Save bmc-config.json.
   You do not have to restart the portal service.
