Components of Bolero

This chapter explains:

What's in the Bolero Application Folder?

The Bolero application folder contains everything you will need in order to run and maintain Bolero. These components are explained below.


Bolero

This is the Bolero application itself. Double clicking on the application opens Bolero.

BoleroImporter

BoleroImporter is installed along with Bolero. Use BoleroImporter to import your old log files into the BoleroDatabase. See Importing Log Files for details.

BoleroImporter Settings File

BoleroImporter references this text file, which contains default information regarding BoleroImporter's behaviour.

Bolero Cache Folder

Typically, Bolero will spend most of its time waiting for the database server to complete tasks. In order to keep up with the WebSTAR server, Bolero stores log information it receives in temporary cache files. Bolero will send these entries to the database server when the workload on the database server permits. Even if the database server is off-line, Bolero will continue to build up cached log information until the database server is available.

Bolero Log File

The log file contains a record of all status messages and errors that occur while Bolero is running. You can customize the level of detail Bolero includes in the log file. See "Modifying Level of ErrorLogging" on the General Settings page for details.

Bolero Settings File

Bolero references a text file which contains default information regarding Bolero's behaviour. Many aspects of Bolero's operation, including the information it logs, and when it reports information, are controlled through this file. The contents of this file are described in Stage 5­p;Minimal Configuration of the Bolero Settings File and Additional Configuration of the Bolero Settings File.

Bolero Scripts Folder

This folder contains any custom SQL scripts you create. Refer to Scheduled SQL for details.

What's Online?
