Logging management tasks

You can use Configuration Center to enable or disable, and view diagnostic logs for the Active Roles components that are installed on the computer running Configuration Center. On the Logging page, Configuration Center lists the following information:

  • Component: Name of the component, such as Administration Service, Web Interface or Console.

  • Logging: Indicates whether logging is enabled or disabled for the given component, and the logging level, such as Basic or Verbose.

  • Log location: Depending upon the component, identifies either the folder containing the log files or the log file for that component.

The toolbar on the Logging page allows you to perform the following tasks:

  • To enable or disable logging for a given component, select the component in the list, and then click Modify on the toolbar.

  • To open the folder that contains the log file or files for a given component, select the component in the list, and then click Browse with Explorer on the toolbar.

  • To examine the Administration Service log file in Log Viewer, select Administration Service in the list of components and then click Open in Log Viewer on the toolbar. For information about Log Viewer, see Active Roles Log Viewer.

Solution Intelligence

Active Roles supports Solution Intelligence to monitor the web application and detect performance issues. Active Roles administrators can enable or disable the Solution Intelligence feature that supports intelligent collection for Active Roles solution usage data.

The telemetry data that is captured for Active Roles is sent to the Azure portal and can be accessed by the development team for analysis. In addition to the general telemetry data that is collected by Microsoft Azure, Solution Intelligence in Active Roles helps captures data about the Active Roles Language Pack usage by customers, referred to as Language Pack telemetry and the area of bugs and issues referred to as the diagnostic telemetry.

The Language Pack telemetry provides insights for the following:

  • Product version

  • Language name

  • Language display name

  • Language code identifier

  • Installation of Language Pack

You can enable or disable Solution Intelligence by using Configuration Center. For information on managing Solution Intelligence for Active Roles, see Enabling or disabling Solution Intelligence.

Enabling or disabling Solution Intelligence

After installing Active Roles on a computer, the Solution Intelligence setting is not enabled by default. To allow the Solution Intelligence to retrieve telemetry data of Active Roles, you can use Configuration Center to enable the Active Roles Solution Intelligence.

NOTE: Active Roles Service must be installed and running on the system for the Solution Intelligence feature to be.

To manage the Solution Intelligence settings

  1. On the Dashboard page in the Configuration Settings main window, click Solution Intelligence.

  2. On the Solution Intelligence page, select Enable Solution Intelligence.

  3. Click Save.

    The Solution Intelligence settings are configured successfully and a success message is displayed.

    NOTE: The changed status may take approximately up to 30 minutes to reflect during which, the telemetry may still be sent until new setting is applied to the website. You may reset IIS if you want the settings to be applied immediately.

Configuring gMSA as an Active Roles Service account

Active Roles Configuration Center enables you to configure the gMSA as a service account. Before you configure a gMSA as an Active Roles Service account, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • The Key Distribution Services (KDS) Root Key must be available in the KDS service on the Domain controller.

  • The computers and groups that have servers with Active Roles Service installed on them, must be added to the gMSA.

  • The gMSA must be available in the Local Administrators group where the Active Roles service is installed and in the built-in Administrators group of the domain.

  • The gMSA must have an SQL login with db_Owner permission for Active Roles database.

  • The gMSA account name must be unique across domains.

NOTE: Exchange operations cannot be performed on the on-premises Exchange Server environment using the gMSA. For example, Remote mailbox, User mailbox, or Contact.

For information on creating a new database see Configuring the Active Roles Service account to use a gMSA.

For more information on managing gMSA accounts see Management of Group Managed Service Accounts in the Active Roles User’s Guide.
