Test IguanaX Restart Speed with Large Logs

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

This tutorial will create 100 GB of log data. Please make sure there is sufficient space available on your machine.

From the dashboard, click + Component and add the LogGeneratorCaller component

Open the Component card and start the component.
- As logs are generated, status information will be displayed on 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.

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

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

From the Dashboard, click Edit Connections and link together the AutoGeneratedComponent in pairs, in threes, or however you see fit (Note: 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.
