Configuration

logbee.Frontend behavior can be customized by updating the Configuration\logbee.json file.

A full example of the logbee.json configuration file can be found here.

LogBeeFrontendDomain

The domain of the logbee.Frontend application. This value is used in multiple places:

  • when generating the HTML titles

  • sets the default email domain for the authenticated users (user1@logbee.dev).

  • setting the sender email address to no-reply@ + LogBeeFrontendDomain (e.g., no-reply@logbee.dev), if no other value is specified under the Smtp.Sender configuration.

{
    "LogBeeFrontendDomain": "logbee.dev"
}

StaticResourcesVersion

Property used as query string parameter when loading static resources (css/javascript).

This property should be changed after an application update in order to invalidate the static files cache.

{
    "LogBeeBackendUrl": "http://logbee-backend.myapp.com/"

{
    "LogBeeFrontendUrl": "http://logBee.myapp.com/"
}

LogBeeBackend.BasicAuth.Password

The Basic HTTP authentication scheme password used to connect to logbee.Backend application.

This property should have the same value as the same property from logbee.Backend\Configuration\logbee.json.

{
    "LogBeeBackend.BasicAuth.Password": "_LogBeeBackend_authorization_password_"
}

LogBeeFrontend.BasicAuth.Password

The Basic HTTP authentication scheme password used to connect to logbee.Frontend application.

Database.MongoDb

Configuration used to connect to MongoDb database.

{
    "Database": {
        "MongoDb": {
            "ConnectionString": "mongodb://localhost:27017?socketTimeoutMS=5000&connectTimeoutMS=5000",
            "DatabaseName": "LogBeeFrontend"
        }
    }
}

Database.MySql

Configuration used to connect to MySql database.

{
    "Database": {
        "MySql": {
            "ConnectionString": "server=localhost;port=3306;database=LogBeeFrontend;uid=<replace_user>;password=<replace_password>;Charset=utf8;"
        }
    }
}

Database.SqlServer

{
    "Database": {
        "SqlServer": {
            "ConnectionString": "Server=localhost;Database=LogBeeFrontend;User ID=<replace_user>;Password=<replace_password>;TrustServerCertificate=True;"
        }
    }
}

Smtp

SMTP configuration used for sending automated emails (alert notifications).

{
    "Smtp": {
        "Sender": {},
        "Host": "smtp.sendgrid.net",
        "Port": 587,
        "UserName": "",
        "Password": "",
        "EnableSsl": false
    }
}

Smtp.Sender

The Smtp.Sender configuration is optional and allows for specifying the sender email address.

If not specified (null), the sender email address will default to no-reply@ + LogBeeFrontendDomain (e.g., no-reply@logbee.dev).

{
    "Smtp": {
        "Sender": {
            "Address": "no-reply@logbee.dev",
            "DisplayName": "Logbee"
        }
    }
}

Troubleshooting emails

Even if an email is successfully sent using the configured SMTP service, the delivery can be affected by several factors.

The reputation of the sender email address (e.g., no-reply@your-logbee-domain.com) plays a significant role in email delivery. Email providers may reject or flag emails from senders with poor reputations.

Recommendations:

  • Use a reputable SMTP service (e.g., SendGrid, Postmark).

  • Ensure your domain is authenticated to improve email delivery.

  • If you have an email address with a good reputation, you can use it under the Smtp.Sender.Address configuration.
