The Business Intelligence API is providing the business intelligence functionalities of DecisionRules. Most importantly, it allows to collect data from the rule solver.
The API allows you to get audits from database and delete them from the database when they are no longer needed. We describe both endpoints below.
Please note that anyone with access to a Business Intelligence API Key can also inherently access your Solver keys, as Audit Logs keep record of the Solver key used for the Solver invocation.
The Business Intelligence API Key can be also included in a query parameter instead of the header. In that case, the same request would look as follows.
There can be a lot of audit logs in the database, of course. We therefore restrict the maximum page size, i.e., the number of audit logs that can be returned per one request, to 1.000.
To get the next page of your audit logs simply add the query parameter 'after' to your call and provide it with the cursor returned in the previous call.
Page Size
You can choose a custom page size smaller than 1.000 by defining the page_size query parameter. For example, if you set page_size=100, the API will always return maximum 100 audits per request, no matter how many matching audits there are in the database. If not set, the page size defaults to 1.000.
After
Each Audit Log has a unique identifier called "positionId." When you include the "after" query parameter in your request and set its value to a specific Audit Log's "positionId," the response will contain the set of Audit Logs that immediately follow the provided "positionId."
Example: If you want to retrieve the Audit Logs that come after a specific log, use its "positionId" as the value for the "after" parameter in your request.
The rest of the query parameters work as filters that help you specify the desired audits. These filters work the same for both the Retrieve and Count audit logs endpoints.
Correlation IDs
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs, Count Audit Logs, Delete Audit Logs
Note that, in both cases, the solver returns the correlation ID in the X-Correlation-Id header of the response.
The correlation ID can then be used to get the desired audit log related to a particular solver request. This can be done easily by including the correlation_ids parameter. It takes an array of correlation IDs separated by a comma, e.g. ., correlation_ids=af4012bd-d492-92ec-ffa4-31fd2b70b1bc,197d5d5a-f6f7-35de-1afb-dc26237ebfc9.
Rules
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs, Count Audit Logs, Delete Audit Logs
If set, the rules parameter limits the audits to those produced by the specified rules. The individual rules are identified by ids separated by comma, i.e., rules=af4012bd-d492-92ec-ffa4-31fd2b70b1bc,197d5d5a-f6f7-35de-1afb-dc26237ebfc9. Moreover, one may further specify the allowed versions for each of the rules by including square brackets with the comma separated list of versions. For instance, rules=af4012bd-d492-92ec-ffa4-31fd2b70b1bc[1,2],197d5d5a-f6f7-35de-1afb-dc26237ebfc9 will return audits for rules with id af4012bd-d492-92ec-ffa4-31fd2b70b1bc whose version is either 1 or 2 and audits for rules with id 197d5d5a-f6f7-35de-1afb-dc26237ebfc9 of any version.
It is also possible to filter solemnly by rule versions. To do that, use the square bracket expression without specifying rule IDs. For instance, rules=[1,2] will return audit logs for rules whose version is 1 or 2, no matter the rule ID.
Solver Keys
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs, Count Audit Logs
If set, the solver_keys parameter limits the audits to those produced by calling rules with the specified Solver API Key. The individual keys are separated by comma.
Tags
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs, Count Audit Logs
The tags query parameter allows you to filter the audits by tags present on the rules. For the audit to pass the filter, its rule needs to be decorated with all the tags specified in the query parameter. The tags are separated by comma. For example, a request with tags=Pricing,Test returns only audits from rules decorated by both the Pricing and the Test tag.
Date
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs, Count Audit Logs, Delete Audit Logs
The date_gte and date_lte parameters allow to filter audit logs by date (and time). The former serves as a lower bound on the date of the solve, the latter serves as an upper bound. In other words, audits will match this filter only if they are older than date_gte and younger than date_lte. When specifying one or both of the parameters, you can choose from a number of supported formats, including ISO 8601 and RFC 2822 Date time. For example:
Note that special characters have to be URL encoded when passed to the query parameter. Therefore, when writing your date, please replace these characters with their respective codes. We list the most useful characters and their codes below.
Order
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs, Count Audit Logs
The order parameter can take two values, order=asc or order=desc. It specifies the chronological order of the audits returned. For order=asc, the audits are sorted chronologically, starting with the oldest. For order=desc, they are sorted chronologically, starting with the latest. By default, the audits are returned in ascending order.
Status Codes
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs, Count Audit Logs, Delete Audit Logs
If set, the status_codes parameter limits the audit logs to those produced with the specified status code. The individual codes are separated by comma. For example, to get logs from rule solves that returned OK, use status_codes=200. To get audit logs from rule solves that returned some kind of rule error, use status_codes=400, 401, 404, 406, 426. Eventually, to get audit logs from rule solves that returned server error, use status_codes=500.
Fields
Usable in endpoints: Retrieve Audit Logs
If set, the fields parameter describes which fields of the audit logs to return. For example, if we only need the input data of each audit log we can set fields=inputData. Every field of audit logs can be filtered like this. If we want multiple fields to return we can separate the definitions with a comma. fields=inputData, outputData, ruleAlias - This example would return audit logs with only the input and output data as well as the ruleAlias.
(To specify the debugLog field, provide the "debugLogId" string)
This action results in permanent and irreversible disposal of the deleted audit logs. Please, use it carefully. More information can be found on the page.
When calling the , the solver provides the audit log with the so-called correlation ID. This can happen in two distinct ways. If the request to the solver contains the X-Correlation-Id header, the value of this header is simply passed to the correlation ID of the audit log. If the request to the solver does not contain such header, the solver generates its own (unique) correlation ID.
