titleSTEP 3: Change your URL to go to http://localhost:7654/#log_generator
  • You will need to edit the URL of your page carefully to replace what ever you see after the # character in your URL with #log_generator in it.

  • This might look like http://localhost:7654/#log_generator depending on how your Iguana is configured. Be very careful to make sure you only have #log_generator - sometimes people make mistakes like appending #log_generator to #dashboard and so on - this will not work.

titleSTEP 6: Now search for "magicString" and try log browser features to check performance
  • Copy: magicString

  • Follow these steps:

  • The logs displayed will jump to the first result and highlight the match, and the search will continue to run and find more results which is what the white expanding region in the control bar is about.

The progress of the search can be seen in two places:

  • Below the search field where it shows how far back in time the search has gone.

  • The up and down arrows show how many hits the search got and can navigate to the next and previous result.

  • The scroll bar on the right will fill up with white as an indication of how far along the search is.

titleSTEP 7: Now stop and start Iguana to check startup time
  • Stop and then start iguana and see how quickly it starts up.

  • Iguana will start quickly even though you have a lot of log data. We’ve engineered Iguana to handle logs for as log as you need them, without performance degradation.

Let's test transferring logs to another component, please continue to our next page on Log Resubmission.
