7.2 Setup Environment

Exercise

Start the Log Generator: In the Test terminal window, navigate to the [WORKSHOP]/7-transform-data directory and start the appropriate log-gen script for your system. We want to work with structured JSON logs, so add the -json flag.

./log-gen.sh -json

The script will begin writing lines to a file named ./quotes.log, while displaying a single line of output in the console.

Writing logs to quotes.log. Press Ctrl+C to stop.

Start the Gateway: In the Gateway terminal window navigate to the [WORKSHOP]/7-transform-data directory and run:
