(We don't yet generate a nice summary record per breadcrumbId with start/stop timings or timings at each endpoint - which would make this metadata easier to query from tools like the Polymeta Dashboard console). Here's https://vimeo.com/68442425 a little screencast showing using the Fuse web tooling which towards the end (maybe 8-10 mins in) shows the log searching and the camel message audit stuff which shows querying by breadcrumb ID - which is really just using http://www.elasticsearch.org/ ElasticSearch as the back end data store for querying data (via the Lucene query syntax) then the http://three.kibana.org/ kibana web application for viewing/querying/filtering the data. It'd be awesome to add better visualisation & reporting of the overall business flows; though at least the basics - storing log messages & camel message flows with bread crumbs is done - with ElasticSearch making it easy to query etc. If you wanna play with the code, you could clone the https://github.com/jboss-fuse/fuse Fuse github repo and then https://github.com/jboss-fuse/fuse#creating-a-fabric create a Fabric. If you wanna noodle the code that does the logging to ElasticSearch in Fuse, its https://github.com/jboss-fuse/fuse/tree/master/insight/insight-elasticsearch insight-elasticsearch for log events and https://github.com/jboss-fuse/fuse/tree/master/insight/insight-camel insight-camel for Camel message auditting. --------------------------------------------------
