New log message types

In Iguana 4.1, the following new log message types have been added:

• The Warning log message indicates that an error has occurred, but that it is not final. For example, a warning is generated when a connection error has occurred and Iguana will retry sending the message in a few seconds.
• A Success log message is generated when a message is successfully processed by a channel, or when an email notification is sent.
• An Unqueued Message log message indicates a message that has been received but was not added to the queue of messages to be processed. These include originals of messages that have been transformed by a filter, or messages that contain errors.
• A Resubmitted Unqueued Message is an unqueued message that has been resubmitted.

In addition, the following types of messages are now indicated with their own icons:

• Messages that were created when a message was resubmitted;
• Messages that were created when a message was resubmitted, and were then resubmitted themselves.

For more information on these log message types and their icons, see Types of Log Messages.

Regular expressions and Boolean expressions now supported in log searches

The Text Query field in the Search Criteria panel of the Logs screen now allows you to specify regular expressions and Boolean expressions to enable you to refine your log search:

See Searching the Logs for more details.

	Log messages and email notification rules support the same regular expressions and Boolean expressions.

Log messages can now be deleted

You can now delete any message that you are viewing in detail:

Click the icon to delete the message.

When viewing log messages, you can specify that deleted messages are to be displayed. These messages are marked as deleted when displayed:

You can also view a deleted message and undelete it. See Searching the Logs for more details on viewing and undeleting deleted messages.

Errors can now be marked

If an error has been detected by the Iguana service or while a channel is running, you can mark the error. You can use this to indicate that you have seen the error.

In the Logs screen, the icon indicates that an error has been marked:

Marked errors do not appear in the Dashboard or in the channel Control Panel.

For information on how to mark an error, see Marking an Error.

Resubmitting of messages now expanded and streamlined

In Iguana 4.1, the message resubmit capability has been significantly improved. The following features have been added:

• You can now preview the message before resubmitting it:

• You can view the message in text or hexadecimal format. If the destination component of the channel is To Database, the message can be parsed, and the generated tables and SQL statements can be displayed.
• Resubmission is now immediate: if necessary, the channel is restarted to send the resubmitted message.
• The Iguana logs now indicate which messages have been resubmitted.

For more information, see Resubmitting Logged Messages.

Log searches can now be saved

When searching the logs, you can now bookmark any search that you are likely to perform again:

See Searching the Logs for more details.

User activities are now tracked in the logs

The Iguana logs now keep track of the following actions that users perform:

• Logging into or logging out of the system;
• Stopping a channel;
• Changing a channel configuration;
• Adding or deleting a channel.

A log message is also generated when a user session expires due to inactivity.

Log exporting can be bookmarked

The Export panel in the Logs screen now enables bookmark exporting in browsers that support it:
