• Iguana 4.0 no longer needs a database to log messages. Message logging is now faster and more scalable: log messages for all channels are written to a single log file. Server log messages are also written to this file. (A new copy of this file is created every day.)

• Log messages can now be viewed in real-time from the web:

For more information on viewing the log messages, see Viewing the Logs.

• Log messages can be filtered using case-sensitive filtering criteria, including combinations of words:

For more information, see Searching the Logs.

• You can specify the logging level for each channel that you create:

See Changing the Logging Level for more information on logging levels.

• Log usage statistics allow you to keep track of how much space is being used by your log messages and whether there are any disk space issues:

For more information on log usage, see Viewing Log Statistics.

• The timestamps for log messages are now accurate to the millisecond.

• You can view detailed information about any log message, including messages that it is related to:

You can also obtain the URL for a log message, which makes it easy to associate received patient data with the HL7 message that contains this data.

For more information on viewing log message details, see Viewing Log Message Details.

• If a log entry is an HL7 message, you can resend the message or view all of the log messages related to a single HL7 message:

For more details, see Resubmitting Logged Messages.

• If the channel that generated a log message has a database as the destination component, you can parse the HL7 message directly from the log details screen:

See Viewing Table Data Generated From a Message for more information.

• Iguana 4.0 now provides more detailed logging of network messages, such as connection errors and retry attempts. This makes it easier for you to diagnose any connection problems that may occur. For more details, see Viewing Network Messages.
