Configuration Steps

Step 1 – Create Azure App Service to host the CardioLogAgent web application

1. Browse to the Azure Portal
2. Web > select App Services
3. Click Create
4. Create Web App:
   1. Project Details > Fill out the Subscription and Resource Group
   2. Instance Details:
      1. Name: This will be subdomain of .azurewebsites.net. For example, mycompany-cardiologagent.azurewebsites.net
      2. Publish: Code
      3. Runtime stack: ASP.NET V3.5
      4. Operating System: Windows
      5. Region: select region of your choice. Prefer the closest to your end users.
   3. App Service Plan > Windows Plan > select or create app service plan
   4. Click Review + Create and compete the web app creation.
5. Once the creation has been completed > go to the app service > Configuration > General settings > Set “Always on” to On > Save

 

Step 2 – Deploy CardioLogAgent resources into the created App Service

1. In the CardioLog installation folder > go to CardioLogAgent folder > zip the content
2. In Azure, go to the App Service main screen > App Service Editor > Drag and drop the zip file into the WWWRoot folder
3. Right click the zip file > Extract All

 

Step 3 – Configure CardioLogAgent App Service

In Azure, go to the App Service main screen > App Service Editor > web.config:

<add key="EventCollectorPath" value="http://[CardioLog server name]:[CardioLog port, default is 29999]/EventCollector/monitor.aspx"/>
<add key="CardioLogRoot" value="http://[CardioLog server name]:[CardioLog port, default is 29999]"/>
<add key="overwriteConnectedUser" value="true" />
<add key="UseSPAuth" value="true" />
<add key="CardioLogAgentRoot" value="[app service URL]" />

Note: The app service URL can be found in the App Service > Overview > URL

 

Step 4 – Configure the hybrid connection endpoint

1. In Azure, go to the App Service main screen > Settings > Networking > Hybrid Connections > Configure your hybrid connection endpoints
2. Add hybrid connection > Create new hybrid connection:
   1. Name: name of your choice, for example: cardiologagent-hybrid-connection
   2. Endpoint Host: [CardioLog server name]
   3. Endpoint port: [CardioLog port, default is 29999]
   4. Service bus namespace > Create new:
      1. Location: select the same location as the App Service
      2. Name: name of your choice, for example: cardiologagent-service-bus

The steps are detailed here

Step 5 – Configure the Hybrid Connection Manager (HCM) client application

1. In Azure, go to the App Service main screen > Settings > Networking > under Hybrid Connections > Configure your hybrid connection endpoints
2. Download the HCM
3. Install the HCM on the CardioLog Analytics onprem server
4. Run the HCM and connect it to the endpoint
5. Make sure the endpoint status is CONNECTED
6. Test the endpoint:
   1. App Service main screen > Console
   2. Type: tcpping [CardioLog server name]:29999

The steps are detailed here

In case the status is NOT CONNECTED, try to restart the HCM or the HCM windows service.

Step 6 – Configure the JavaScript tracking code

Upon reaching the configuration step - Running the Configuration Wizard, change the tracking code as follows:

sourceDomain: '[app service URL without https prefix]/js/modern',
eventListenerDomain: '[app service URL without https prefix]',
modules: ['survey-and-message-bar'], 
statisticsPath: '[app service URL]/ReportDispatcher.aspx'
