From the previous section, we have a component set up with 5 years of log data. In order to try this out, we will need to link a Destination 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
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 clickDestinationA link should appear connecting the two, with the arrow on the link pointing from
SourcetoDestinationClick on Edit Connections again to exit this mode
Now that the components are linked, we can reposition the queue.
From Iguana X’s dashboard, double click on Destination to bring up the component card
In the Queue Position row click reposition
Change the date to go back 5 years:
After clicking reposition the dialog will close itself and you will see the updated queue position in the component card:
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.
Going to the Logs tab and selecting Destination as the component, 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:
