Iguana X has a log generator tool built into it which will import and replicate a lot of log data by using the works of Shakespeare.
How do you use it?
In order to use the logging and queueing system, first we’ll need a component. Do the following:

You will need to edit the URL of your page carefully to have the #log_generator in it. This might look like http://localhost:7654/#log_generator depending on how your Iguana is configured. In Chrome this looks like: In Safari it might look different: |

Now that the components are linked, we can reposition the queue. From Iguana X’s dashboard, double click on Source to bring up the component card In the Queue Position row click reposition - Image RemovedImage Added
Use the date picker to go back in time 5 years Once you have a valid start reposition time, click reposition to reposition the queue - Image RemovedImage Added

title | STEP 4: Turn on the Destination Component to begin the reposition |

For Destination the QUE column on the dashboard should read some large number of days depending on how far back the queue was repositioned Going to the Logs tab and selecting Destination as the component, you should see a log message showing that a new queue position was accepted - Image RemovedImage Added
Going back to the dashboard and running the Destination component by toggling the switch, the component will begin to process messages from its queue and the QUE value will start to decrease - Image RemovedImage Added

Good luck - we’re interested to see if you can figure this out from the user interface! |
