Configuration & Logging¶

Configuration files¶

Backend¶

Unidata uses single configuration file, called backend.properties (the name is predefined). Its location can be specified via JVM flags -Dunidata.conf=”<path>/unidata-conf”:

# Versions - platform and SOAP
unidata.api.version = 5.2
unidata.platform.version = 5.2

...

org.unidata.mdm.data.datasource.validationInterval=30000
org.unidata.mdm.data.datasource.type=javax.sql.DataSource

You can see actual example in the project

Frontend¶

To configure UI parameters use customer.json file. It will be shown as a path: /usr/share/nginx/html/customer.json when running the app in docker. If you change the file in container, then you could lose the configuration after the next restart.

For configuration some parameters on UI you should use customer.json file. In running app in docker it placed by this path: /usr/share/nginx/html/customer.json If you change file in container, after next restart your configuration will be lost.

For store you changes:

If you start the app with unidata-platform-deploy repo, put the file with changes (with different name, e.g.: “my_customer.json”) in to json_configs folder, and then rerun the app with docker-compose with command:
```
-f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-json-generate.yaml up -d
```
If you make UI locally, you can just change the customer.json file before a code or docker image building (in this case, change the customer.json file in a folder “Build”).

Logs¶

Unidata uses slf4j and logback classic for logging. Thus, logback settings can be supplied via -Dlogback.configurationFile="<path>/logback.xml".

To give Hazelcast a hint about the logging subsystem -Dhazelcast.logging.type=slf4j can be used.
