Data Dump¶

What is data dump¶

Data dump is a service that will store the current state and location of all users in Totalview to a given directory.

How to enable data dump¶

Stop the MobileWeb connector from the Totalview Admin console.

Open the appsettings.json file in the MobileWeb folder (typically TotalviewInstallationFolder\WCF\MobileWeb_WCF\appsettings.json)

Edit this section in the file.

"DataDumpOptions": {
    "Enabled": false,
    "OutputDirectoryPath": "c:\\DataDump",
    "SaveInterval": "00:05:00",
    "SaveAsHTML": true,
    "ErrorEmailFromAddress": "no-reply@totalview.cloud",
    "ErrorEmailToAddress": "mail@domain.com"
}

Valid options for the dataDumpConfigurationSection¶

Name	Type	Default value	Description
Enabled	Boolean	false	If the data dump should run.
OutputDirectoryPath	Text	c:\DataDump	Where the files should be written
SaveInterval	TimeSpan	00:05:00	The interval for the pull
SaveAsHTML	Boolean	false	File format as fully styled .html file (false provides plaintext .txt file)
ErrorEmailToAddress	Text		If an error occurs, it will be logged and sent to this address.
ErrorEmailFromAddress	Text		If an error occurs, it will be logged and sent from this address. Not used if email is sent using the Exchange connector.

Save as HTML¶

Example of Data Dump file with saveAsHTML configuration option set to “true”.

Error Emails¶

If you write an email address in the errorEmailToAddress field in the dataDumpConfigurationSection, an email will be set to this address if an error occurs.

The same email will be sent once every 30 minutes if the error persists.
