Create a Component

Components are created in the Dashboard, using the the [+COMPONENT] button.

Go to the dashboard and click +Component

Select a component, name it and describe it

And the card opens showing your component

Name the component and use #hashtags like #autostart in it's description

Hashtags in the description like #autostart are used by IguanaX to determine if components should be automatically started when the IguanaX server starts up.

See Autostarting Components

Configure the fields on the component

Many components have custom fields which you can edit and set with the ellipsis on each one. The idea is that many components need to be configured for the environment they are in without the need to fully Customize a component .

Stop and start the component using the switch in the top left corner of the card

You can start and stop components using the switch in the top left corner:

You can also do it from the list of components on the left of the dashboard and using bulk operations in the dashboard.

Link the components together

When one component feeds into another component, it’s linked by a queue where data is securely stored on disc and fed into the next component.
