Whether Certificate Manager is required for service "IBM Cloud Activity Tracker with LogDNA" - ibm-cloud

I am new person in ibm cloud
I need install service "IBM Cloud Activity Tracker with LogDNA"
For the guide "Getting started with Certificate Manager"
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/certificate-manager?topic=certificate-manager-getting-started
I found "Next steps" (import certificate or order certificate)
Is it needed in installation for "IBM Cloud Activity Tracker with LogDNA" or can be ignore?

Activity Tracker with LogDNA and Certificate Manager are two different services on IBM Cloud. In the documentation, certificate manager is shown as an example on how to use pay-as-you-go service. Any lite service you create in you IBM Cloud account triggers an event and can be seen in the activity tracker
If you have a pay-as-you-go account, you can use Certificate Manager to create an event. If you don't have a pay-as-you-go account, provisioning any of the available lite services triggers an event.

Cannot deploy Kubeflow on GCP: tells me to enable APIs that are already enabled

I am trying to install Kubeflow on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Kubernetes Engine (GKE), following the GCP deployment guide.
I created a GCP project of which I am the owner, I enabled billing, set up OAuth credentials and enabled the following APIs:
Compute Engine API
Kubernetes Engine API
Identity and Access Management (IAM) API
Deployment Manager API
Cloud Resource Manager API
Cloud Filestore API
AI Platform Training & Prediction API
However, when I want to deploy Kubeflow using the UI, I get the following error:
So I doublechecked and those APIs are already enabled:
The log messages at the bottom of the screen are:
2020-03-0614:14:04.629: Getting enabled services for project <projectname>..
2020-03-0614:14:16.909: Could not configure communication with GCP, exiting
The Could not configure communication with GCP, exiting is triggered when _enableGcpServices() fails.
The line Getting enabled services for project ... is printed but not the line Proceeding with project number: ..., so the error must be triggered somewhere in the block of code between those lines.
The call to Gapi.cloudresourcemanager.getProjectNumber(project) has its own try/catch with a slightly different error message and title (only talks about the cloud resource manager API, not the IAM API), so I assume it is the call to Gapi.getSignedInEmail() that fails??
I'd suggest having a look at the service management API, IAM service credentials API and cloud identity aware proxy API possibly. I've only used the CLI install tool previously and not run into these problems, but you might require these services for the IAP deployment?
I faced the same issue and was able to solve by correcting the project id.
Make sure that the project id on the UI form is specified correctly as it is on the GCP project - and that it does not have any leading or trailing spaces if you copy pasted from the GCP project details like I did.
I had the same issue. I was using in trial. Seems they allow a limited project to use billing account at same time. So I shut down unused ones . Went to Billing-->my projects. Disabled unused with 3 dots. Then tried to enable the billing account for current project. It worked.

IBM Watson Assistant: How to get IAM key for v1 watson assistant services

I have an IBM Watson Assistant service with username and password format and now I want to create new credentials which should have IAM key for this service, Please let us know how we can achieve this.
You can also migrate your Cloud Foundry service instance that uses un:pw to one that supports IAM. See Migrating Watson services from Cloud Foundry
There are (at least) two options to obtain IAM credentials for you IBM Watson Assistant service:
In the browser, go to the service dashboard by going to the IBM Cloud resources portal, locate your service instance, click on it and then in its dashboard on Service credentials. There you can create new credentials.
In a terminal and using the IBM Cloud CLI you can use ibmcloud resource service-key-create to generate credentials.
Both options assume that you have migrated your service instance from Cloud Foundry to IAM.
For creating a new credential, you can directly go to your watson assistant service/resource page, once there, on the left hand side, you would find "Service Credentials" menu button, there you would find an option to create a "New credential", and once the credential is created, then the "apikey" of that "New credential", would actually be your "IAM key", which can be viewed by clicking on the "View Credential" button highlighted below in the image.
*This is for IBM Watson Assistant V1 only.

IBM Cloud API Connect Secure Gateway

Recently, I started seeing an issue when trying to setup secure gateway within API Connect on IBM Cloud, I previously had it working but looks like they changed this wizard interface and its broken since then
here is what I did to recreate the issue:
Setup new APIC instance on IBM Cloud
API connect Manager UI > Admin > Secure Gateways > Add (name & save)
once created, in Secure Gateway Clients section, click on +Set Up
I see no ID or Token generated
no matter what type of client I choose (DataPower, Docker or Installer)
Anyone facing the same issue?
Empty ID and Token when trying to setup Secure Gateway Client
turned out that creating SecureGateway from within the APIC is deprecated feature anyway.
you will need to create standalone SecureGateway resource on Bluemix and call it from your API assembly.
here is the instructions

How to retrieve service credentials for Hyperledger on Kubernetes Cluster on Bluemix

I recently installed Hyperledger on a Kubernetes cluster on IBM Bluemix trial account.
I want to use the Hyperledger Fabric SDK Node.js to access my blockchain. I am following the instructions to run the HLF SDK sample helloblockchain.js
https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain-Archive/SDK-Demo
I need to be able to retrieve my "service credentials". Since this is not the enterprise install on Bluemix I do not have a blockchain dashboard from which I can view credentials. How do I find my credentials to create the ServiceCredentials.json file?
Clarification:
When you install Hyperledger in a bluemix trial in a container you do not have the same Blockchain dashboard as you do if you added the Blockchain Enterprise service.
blockchain dashboard in trial account
If you click on the blockchain item you get the cluster dashboard. There is no service credentials option Or option to create service credentials.
When on the Bluemix dashboard, click on the Blockchain service and then on "service credentials" in the left column. This is where you'll find the credentials, if there isn't any click "create new credentials".
