Before configuring log encryption on your IguanaX instance please consider the following:

• The log encryption key must be a secure 32-character string. It is recommended that you use the cryptographically secure encryption key generated by IguanaX.

• The encryption key must be re-entered every time IguanaX service starts up.

• IguanaX will not remember this key. You are responsible for documenting and storing this key in a secure location. There is no way to unlock Iguana without entering this encryption key when the service is started.

• Encrypted logs will be stored in a new log directory, loge, placed in the default location according to your OS, however the location of loge can be changed as required. When viewing logs within the Iguana Log Browser, you will no longer be able to access the old logs in the logt directory when log encryption is enabled.

1. Click Edit and choose Enabled using the dropdown.

2. Use the three dots to have Iguana generate an Encryption key.

If you are enabling log encryption on an existing IguanaX instance, you must first stop all components as the service will need to restart.
