For developers

The for developers section within each feature gives more tech heavy information of configuring, extending or altering Valtimo via the codebase.

In the backend- and the frontend codebase configurations can be done in order to enable storage, cleanup and retention and enabling the menu item for viewing the logs.

Backend

Enabling storage

To enable storing the logs in the Valtimo database, a custom database appender has been implemented. This appender has to be configured in the logback-spring.xml configuration file:

<configuration scan="true">
    <include resource="config/logging/logback/valtimo-defaults.xml" />
    <include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/console-appender.xml" />
    <include resource="config/logging/logback/valtimo-database-appender.xml" />
    ...
    <root level="${logback.loglevel:-INFO}">
        <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
        <appender-ref ref="VALTIMODBASYNC"/>
    </root>
</configuration>

Cleanup and retention

The following application properties can be set to configure the cleanup job time and the log retention period:

valtimo:
    logging:
        deletionCron: //Default 0 0 4 * * ?
        retentionInMinutes: //Default 30240

Frontend

Enabling the menu item

To show the logging menu item, the following property should be present in the Angular environment configuration:

menu: {
    menuItems: [
        {
            roles: [ROLE_ADMIN],
            title: 'Admin',
            iconClass: 'icon mdi mdi-tune',
            sequence: x,
            children: [
                {
                    link: ['/logging'], 
                    title: 'Logs', 
                    sequence: x
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
