6.3 Router Configuration
Configuration for the Message Router may be changed or checked on this page. The Router is used in conjunction with the mobile module, the BBM module integration, and any other REST API integrations. In contrast with the Retain Server, the Router is best placed in a network’s DMZ, enabling it to be fully accessible to communication from the Internet as well as the network.
6.3.1 Communications tab
The Router’s communication settings and port for both the Retain Server and the Internet is kept here. This is the address that the mobile devices will use to talk to the router and should be accessible to the outside world.
6.3.2 Storage tab
The storage tab contains the path to the temporary storage location local to the REST Router.
The storage is used by the REST Router to store data for a few seconds before it is sent on to the Retain Server. In the event of a failure to access the Retain Server, the REST Router will house the data until the Server is accessed. This storage area is not required to be large, and a few gigabytes is more than sufficient. When specifying the Storage path, note that the Retain System automatically appends the storage directory. So specifying a path of "/Retain/storage" will result in an actual path of "/Retain/storage/storage".
NOTE:The Storage Path must not be the same as the Mobile Module Data path.
6.3.3 Logging tab
The logging tab contains settings to enable logging, dictate the logging level of the Router, and settings to purge old logs from the system after a specified age.
