Step-by-Step Implementation Guide
- Start by integrating the AfterStartup_LogTransporter into your Mendix application's AfterStartup microflow. This lays the foundation for LogTransporter's operations once your application starts.
- Proceed to embed the provided Snippet into your configuration page. This allows you to centralize the settings and controls related to LogTransporter.
- Deploy your Mendix application. At this stage, make sure to alter the constants representing the username and password.
- Accessing LogTransporter Configuration: Once deployed, navigate to the LogTransporter configuration snippets to finalize the settings.
- AppSubDomainName Setting: This can be any identifier, but it's commonly the prefix of your application's URL.
- Connection URL: This is the crucial link - the destination where your logs will be forwarded to. Ensure it points to the correct third-party system or endpoint.
- Environment: Define the environment context of your application, such as ACCP, SOAK, or PROD. This helps in categorizing and filtering logs based on the operational stage of your application.
- Autostart: The 'autostart' option, when enabled, ensures that LogTransporter initializes and runs automatically every time the Mendix application restarts. This ensures continuous log transport without manual interventions.
- Once all settings are in place, click the 'Save' button to commit the changes.
- Post-configuration, click on the 'Restart LogTransporter' button. This action ensures that all the new settings are appropriately initialized.
- To ensure the successful implementation, monitor the target system. Verify if the logs from your Mendix application are being correctly routed and recorded.
DEMO ALERT:
This version has a limit of 20 transports. For the full version, email support@capegroep.nl.
What is a Transport?
When a set time period elapses or when the log buffer is full, a transport occurs. Adjust these settings in the 'tunables' tab.
Note: A buffer might hold multiple log lines, so a single transport event can send several log lines at once.
To reset the demo limit, restart LogTransporter or your entire application.
