Overview

The WXM_CONFIG_RESOLVER plugin toolkit provides a set of tools to analyze the configuration. It can be accessed via the plugin's URL page:

...

Main menu

The main menu looks like this:

...

Configuration debug

...

This page allows you to analyze the configuration for a mapping in order to know the reason for each property, possible errors, redefinitions, location of files, processors involved, etc.

...

  1. Select here the mapping;

  2. Click this button to launch the calculation of the configuration of the mapping selected in (1);

  3. Click this button to set up the configuration calculation and the information to be obtained;

  4. Click this button to paste the result of an invocation of API /config/explain (only results without node selection are supported at this time);

  5. Click this button to access a form with an edit field for pasting a result, possibly editing it, etc;

  6. The ℹ️ icon displays the detailed information for a property;

  7. The line number (from 0 to n-1) is displayed at the head of the line;

  8. Fold or unfold JSON objects or arrays with the »… / « icon

    • Click to fold or unfold the element

    • Ctrl+click to fold or unfold the element and all its children

    • Alt+click to fold or unfold the sibling elements

    • Shift-click shows the JSON in another window in raw mode

    • Ctrl+Shift+click copies the JSON to clipboard

  9. The configuration JSON appears here.

    • The areas marked in yellow are the redefined areas.

    • The path of the properties in error is in red

    • Deleted properties (with a delete extension file) are indicated in yellow by the following icon:

Configuration Layers

...

This page allows you to see the configuration by layer.

...

  1. Select here the mapping

  2. Select here the user (for processors)

  3. Select the type of view

    • View by layers

    • Simple view

  4. Check this checkbox to activate “auto refresh”
    If this checkbox is not checked, changing mapping or user selection will not reload data until you click on the refresh button (5)

  5. Click this button refresh configuration

  6. JSON view options

    • Raw JSON
      Display JSON indented and copiable as valid JSON

    • Foldable JSON
      Display JSON with the ability to fold or unfold objects, arrays or long strings

    • Colored JSON
      Check to enable syntax colorization

    • Show line numbers
      Check to activate the display of line numbers (from 1 to n)

  7. Container filters
    After loading the configuration, displays the list of configuration containers involved. This list allows you to select the containers you want to see (by default, they are all selected).

  8. Layer filters
    After loading the configuration, displays the list of configuration layerss involved. This list allows you to select the layers you want to see (by default, they are all selected).

  9. View
    The configuration is displayed here according to the type of view selected. A contextual menu on the view allows to copy the configuration to the clipboard

Simple view

In this mode, we see the final configuration corresponding to the containers and layers selected in the filters (7) and (8).

View by layers

In this mode, the layers are separated and we see the configuration produced by each of them.

...

  1. Check to display layers that do not physically exist (unfilterable)

  2. Check to see deleted or replaced properties (with delete extension files)

  3. Check to see the properties in error.

  4. Each layer is displayed separately with a title bar showing its name, location and counters for deleted, replaced or error properties

  5. Click this button to fold or unfold this layer

Files

...

This page shows the tree of files and folders involved in the configuration.

...

  1. Select the configuration container

  2. Reload selected container data

  3. Unfold all folders

  4. Fold all folders

  5. If you delete files, it is necessary to flush the cache to update it

Cache manager

...

This page allows to see the cache entries, to check their validity and eventually to flush the cache.

...

  1. In this area, a general description of the state of the cache

    • ID
      A uniq ID of cache. Each time a cache is dropped, a new ID is generated

    • Type
      This information indicates which trigger generated this cache.

      • type I: it is a cache loaded at plugin startup from a previous runtime session;

      • type II: it is a cache generated when the plugin starts;

      • type III: it is a cache generated after a flush.

    • Status
      The status of the cache (If you see any of the conditions marked with an asterisk, please report it with a ticket providing environment description, engine/plugin version, and logs)

      • UP_TO_DATE means that the last cache generation request has been completed.

      • LOADING means that we have a type I cache being loaded

      • UPDATING means that we have a cache other than type I under construction

      • OBSOLETE means that we are accessing an old version of the cache which is being regenerated (we should not have this state displayed in this page*)

      • RENEW means that a type III cache generation is started (this state should not be displayed, it lasts for a very short time, and then normally go to state UPDATING*)

      • RESTART means that a type II cache generation is started (this state should not be displayed, it lasts for a very short time, and then normally go to state UPDATING*)

      • INITIALIZING means that a type I cache generation is started (this state should not be displayed, it lasts for a very short time, and then normally go to state LOADING*)

      • NO_CACHE means that the cache is not disabled, but that there is no instance*

      • UNKNOWN means that the state of the cache cannot be determined*

      • DISABLED means that the cache is disabled

    • stamp
      An integer incremented each time a new cache is generated. Can be considered as the number of caches generated since the start of the plugin.

    • date (init)
      The start date of the generation of this cache

    • time
      The time it took to generate this cache

    • entries
      The number of entries in this cache

    • last flush
      The date of the last flush request, and an icon indicating that this request succeed or failed*

  2. In this area, the action buttons

    • refresh: to refresh this page

    • flush cache: to flush the cache

    • reset cache: flush the cache only on this cluster node (same action as flush cache if we are on an environment without cluster except that "last flush" will not be updated)

  3. In this area, the list of current cache entries
    We have for each input the following data, from left to right:

    • index
      This index is just an incremental number. It is preceded by an icon indicating the validity of this entry. When this page is refreshed, the cache is recalculated and compared to its current state. If there is no difference, it means that this cache entry is up to date and a green dot (check) is displayed. If there is a difference, a red dot (exclamation) is displayed and that there has been a change in configuration and that the cache has not been flushed (no request, or failed request*)

    • mapping
      The name of the mapping

    • date
      The start date of the generation of this entry

    • paths
      The folder paths used as key for this entry

    • entry ID
      Entry ID

    • ETag
      Associated ETag. It is preceded by an icon indicating the validity of this ETag. When this page is refreshed, the ETag is recalculated and compared to its current value. If there is no difference, it means that this cache entry is the ETag is correct and a green dot (check) is displayed. If there is a difference, a red dot (exclamation) is displayed and the ETag is not correct*
