MSMQ Configuration Example

Effortlessly integrate your enterprise systems by configuring the Nodinite Pickup Logging Service to fetch JSON Log Events directly from your MSMQ queues. This guide walks you through secure, scalable, and reliable log event collection using Microsoft Message Queuing.

✅ Seamless integration with MSMQ for real-time log event collection
✅ Secure and compliant long-term storage of log data
✅ Scalable configuration for enterprise environments
✅ Automated handling of invalid messages with backout queue support

The diagram above illustrates how the Pickup Service interacts with MSMQ queues, processes messages, and stores them in the Nodinite Log Database. Invalid messages are routed to the Backout queue for further review.

MSMQs

The MSMQs section lets you manage all MSMQ queue sources for your log events.

You configure these sources in the Settings.json file, which uses JSON format. The default path is:

C:\Program Files\Nodinite\Logging Agent - Pickup Service\Settings.json

{
  ...
  "MSMQs": [
    {
      "Enabled": true,
      "LogApi": "https://localhost/Nodinite/Dev/LogAPI/",
      "UseConfigurationDatabase": false,
      "ConfigurationDatabaseConnectionString": null,
      "ActiveConsumers": 4,
      "Server": "localhost",
      "Queue": "Nodinite.LogAgent.PickupService.Test",
      "DeadLetterQueue": "Nodinite.LogAgent.PickupService.Test.DLQ",
      "ReplaceRules": [
        {
          "Name": "Fix Endpoint real customer id to {customerId}",
          "ReplaceName": false,
          "ReplaceUri": true,
          "Pattern": "/([0-9]{4,})$",
          "Group1Value": "{customerId}"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
  ...                      
}

MSMQs is an array of MSMQ queue configurations. Each entry defines how the Log Agent connects to and processes messages from a specific MSMQ queue. This setup ensures your Nodinite JSON Log Events are reliably collected and managed.

Important

You must restart the Nodinite Pickup Logging Service for configuration changes to take effect.
