The Server section configures an agent to communicate with a Loupe Server. With it you can both provide the information necessary to connect to the server and whether you want sessions to be sent automatically in the background (a capability unique to the Agent / Server connection).
| Option | Description | Default Value | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enabled | True by default, disables server communication when false. | true | false |
| UseGibraltarService | When true, specifies that the Loupe Cloud-Hosted Service should be used instead of a Self-hosted Loupe Server. | false | false |
| ApplicationKey | A unique Application Key for the Loupe Repository you want to send data to. When specified, the CustomerName and Repository fields are ignored. | "" | false |
| CustomerName | The unique customer name when using the Loupe Cloud-hosted Service. Only applies when UseGibraltarService is false. | "" | false |
| Server | The full DNS name of the server where the Server is located. Only applies to a Self-hosted Loupe Server. | "" | false |
| UseSsl | Indicates if the connection should be encrypted with SSL. Only applies to a Self-hosted Loupe Server. | false | false |
| Port | An optional port number override for the server. Not required if the port is the traditional port (80 or 443). Only applies to a Self-hosted Loupe Server. | 0 | false |
| ApplicationBaseDirectory | The virtual directory on the host for a Self-hosted Loupe Server. | "" | false |
| Repository | The specific repository on the server to send the session to. Only applies to a Self-hosted Loupe Server running Enterprise Edition. | "" | false |
| AutoSendSessions | Indicates whether to automatically send session data to the server in the background. | false | false |
| AutoSendOnError | Indicates whether to automatically send data to the server when error or critical messages are logged. | true | false |
| SendAllApplications | Indicates whether to send data about all applications for this product to the server or just the current application. | false | false |
| PurgeSentSessions | Indicates whether to remove sessions that have been sent from the local repository once confirmed by the server. | false | false |
This uses the name of your Loupe Cloud-Hosted repository to identify where to route your data in the Loupe Cloud. You can sign up for a Loupe Cloud account at the Loupe Customer Site.

If you want to use Loupe Monitor or have more control over how your data is received by the Loupe Cloud-Hosted Service, use an Application Key instead of your customer name. Application Keys can route your data into an Application Environment and they can be blocked if you want to prevent transfer without re-deploying your application.

With Standard Edition there is only one repository so you only have to specify the connection information for the Server web API. At a minimum that requires the Server, but you may also specify useSsl to enable SSL, a port number or even a path in some rare situations.
| appsettings.json |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
{
"Loupe": {
"Publisher": {
"ProductName": "AspNetCore2.Sandbox",
"ApplicationName": "Test",
"ApplicationType": "AspNet",
"ApplicationVersionNumber": "1.0.1"
},
"Server": {
"Server": "your.server.dns.name",
"AutoSendSessions": true,
"SendAllApplications": true
}
}
}

Loupe Enterprise Edition supports mutiple repositories so either a repository or an Application Key has to be specified so Loupe can route the data correctly. You also need to provide connection information for the Server web API. At a minimum that requires the Server value, but you may also specifyh useSsl to enable SSL. In this example, the Repository is specified:
| appsettings.json |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
{
"Loupe": {
"Publisher": {
"ProductName": "AspNetCore2.Sandbox",
"ApplicationName": "Test",
"ApplicationType": "AspNet",
"ApplicationVersionNumber": "1.0.1"
},
"Server": {
"Server": "your.server.dns.name",
"Repository": "Your_Repository_Name",
"AutoSendSessions": true,
"SendAllApplications": true
}
}
}
