View and enable logging

If you want to record logs for your FastEdge application, make sure that you have the Enable logging toggle enabled.

By default, FastEdge applications don’t generate logs. After you turn on the Enable logging toggle, the application will record logs for 30 minutes. You can monitor the remaining logging time by checking the countdown next to the toggle.

After 30 minutes, logging will stop, and the application will revert to its default no-logging state. To start logging, enable the toggle again.

You can filter log data according to the following criteria:

• Timestamp. Choose the date and time when the logs have been recorded. By default, the table displays data for the past hour.

• Client IP address. View logs collected for a particular IP.

• Edge name. Seach within the Logs column.

Add and update parameters

On the Parameters tab, you can update or enhance the functionality of your application by adding or modifying HTTP response headers and environment variables.

For example, the following screenshots illustrate the configuration for a geo-location application. Environment variables are set based on the geo-IP of the client making the request. With this configuration, users will view different versions of a website based on their location.

Tip

By using FastEdge SDK, you can configure these variables according to your use cases.
