In Iguana XIguanaX, we have changed how queue counts are calculated to significantly speed up the startup process. To see this, try the following which will generate 1gb 1 GB of log data for each of the AutoGeneratedComponents that were created in the previous tutorial - Component Creator Tool.Note:

Note

This tutorial will create 100

...

GB of log data. Please make sure there is sufficient space available on your machine.

    • Run the component by toggling the switch and look to the bottom of the card

    add the LogGeneratorCaller component

    • Open the Component card and start the component.

      • As logs are generated, status information will be displayed hereon the component card.

      • The status is updated every time the generator finishes generating logs for a component.

      • This process can take a while - around 15-20 minutes.

    • Wait for it to read All done.

    titleSTEP 2: Restart Iguana

    Now that the logs are generated, you can restart Iguana to see the impact that 100 components each with 1 gb of logs has on startup time.

    • On Mac, you can use the IguanaController in the menu bar. Click stop Iguana, wait for a few seconds then click start Iguana.

    • On Windows and Linux, you can restart the service

    titleSTEP 3: Link components together and try another restart

    The previous test shows the performance of unlinked components which is not realistic for interfaces.

    • From the dashboardDashboard, click Edit Connections at the top and link together the AutoGeneratedComponent in pairs, in threes, or however you see fit . (Note

      that

      : cycles are not allowed)

    • Then restart Iguana the same as in the previous step.

    Once you’re done you can delete these components or check out Set Log Purge Rules for how to manage large log sizes per component.
