Log Invocation
Logs request/response payloads. You can log the payloads in the database and/or send the payloads in the form of email alerts. This action also logs other information about the request/response, including the service name, operation name, the Integration Server user, a timestamp, the response time, and more.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) considerations
As part of this policy action, all request/response payloads are logged in the database or can be sent in the form of email alerts. Depending on the SaaS provider requirements, some of the logged data may be personal data or personally identifiable information. If for privacy concerns or to be in compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you want to delete the personal data of a user, you can manage the personally identifiable information by purging it from the database.
The database used by CloudStreams has the following tables which contain request/response payloads or such information of interest. To purge the data along with the table names, the following field/column names are provided using which the data can be cleaned up.
CLS_TXN_EVENT
*REQUEST
*RESPONSE
*CONSUMER_IP
CLS_ERR_EVENT
*CONSUMER_IP
CLS_PV_EVENT
*CONSUMER_IP
CLS_MON_EVENT
*CONSUMER_IP
For email alerts, data is stored in the Integration Server logs. The log data may contain account specific or user specific data, which may be considered as personal data or personally identifiable information. If for privacy concerns or to be in compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you want to delete the personal data of a user, you can manage the log files that contain the data from the file system. See the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for information on how to manage these logs, their related files, and specific identifiers to look for in the logs.
