Often when a new system is brought into an existing integration the messages for the last few months or years are replayed to bring the system up to speed. Iguana X provides a solution for this in the form of log resubmission.

...

titleSTEP 1 : Add a Custom component called Destination

From the previous parts, we have a component set up with 5 years of log data. In order to try this out, we will need another component.

  • From Iguana X’s dashboard, click + Component

  • In the Add Components dialog that pops up, select Custom, which should be the first option

    • It is recommended to change the name of the component. This guide proceeds assuming you renamed it Destination

  • Then click Add in the bottom right of the dialog

  • You should see a new component appear on the dashboard

...

In order to reposition a component queue you need to have linked components (at minimum a source and destination component) with log data.

From the Component Card:

Here you can only trigger a queue reposition using the destination component - requires selection of a linked upstream component queue to reposition.

titleSTEP 2 : Link the source and destination components

Now we will need to link the two components together so that messages can be pushed from one component to another . Assuming Source is the component with the logs and Destination is the component created above, do this by:

  • From Iguana X’s dashboard, click Edit Connections

  • First click Source, then click Destination

  • A link should appear connecting the two, with the arrow on the link pointing from Source to Destination

  • Click on Edit Connections again to exit this mode

Then close the card and pay attention to fact that there should be a large number of days of logs in the QUE column on the dashboard.

titleSTEP 43: Turn on ON the Destination Component to process the messages from the repositioned queue

Going to the Logs tab and selecting Destination as Click on the Last Log timestamp in the component card, you should see a log message showing that a new queue position was accepted:

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:

Now that you have lots of Logs present in IguanaX, you may want to delete them as they take up some space, please continue to our next page on Log Management and Purging.

From the Log Details:

Here you can only trigger a queue reposition using the upstream component - requires selection of a linked downstream component queue to reposition.

titleSTEP 1: Go to Logs and select an upstream component and go to a log message from the past

  • Navigate the Logs and choose a Component. The component chosen must have a linked downstream component.

  • Double click on a log message from the past to pull up the Log Details View. It must be a log message type.

  • Click Reposition Queue from the menu.
