Stop or start an application

You can change the running state of your application and decide if you want to have it running and processing requests, or stopped. The latter might be useful if you need to update the application’s configuration or want to upload a new version of the application’s binary file. An application can be stopped for the following reasons:
  • You manually stopped it, as described in the following instructions. You can restart the application at any time.
  • Payment for the product was unsuccessful. In this case, the application cannot be reactivated until payment is completed.
To manually stop or activate the application: 1. In the Gcore Customer Portal, navigate to FastEdge and choose the relevant page: HTTP Applications or CDN Applications. 2. On the Applications page, click the three-dot icon next to the application you want to configure. 3. Select Manage. 4. Click Actions and choose the relevant one: Stop or Start.

View and enable logging

If you want to record logs for your FastEdge application, make sure that you have the Enable logging toggle enabled.
FastEdge appl page with logging tab open
By default, FastEdge applications don’t generate logs. After you turn on the Enable logging toggle, the application will record logs for 30 minutes. You can monitor the remaining logging time by checking the countdown next to the toggle. After 30 minutes, logging will stop, and the application will revert to its default no-logging state. To start logging, enable the toggle again. You can filter log data according to the following criteria:
  • Timestamp. Choose the date and time when the logs have been recorded. By default, the table displays data for the past hour.
  • Client IP address. View logs collected for a particular IP.
  • Edge name. Search within the Logs column.

​
Response Headers

On the Response Headers tab, you can update or enhance the functionality of your application by adding or modifying HTTP response headers. These Response Headers will be added to every response. For example, you may include CORS (cross-origin resource sharing) headers in each response to ensure secure communication between origins.

​
Environment Variables

On the Environment Variables tab, you can update or enhance the functionality of your application by adding or modifying environment variables. For example, the following screenshots illustrate the configuration for a geo-location application. Environment variables are set based on the geo-IP of the client making the request. With this configuration, users will view different versions of a website based on their location.

InfoBy using our FastEdge SDK Javascript or FastEdge SDK Rust, you can configure these variables according to your use cases.

​
Secrets

On the Secrets tab, you can update or enhance the functionality of your application by adding or modifying secrets.
FastEdge applications secrets
Providing a secret to your application: You define a name for the secret within the application and then select a secret from Secrets Manager, linking it to the application.
  • ACCESS_KEY - name as defined in the application.
  • S3_ACCESS_TOKEN_BINARY_DUMP - secret that is linked to the application.
To access the secret within the application, use secret::get(“ACCESS_KEY”), where ACCESS_KEY is the secret name defined in the application.
InfoBy using our Javascript SDK or Rust SDK, you can configure these secrets according to your use cases.

​
Edge Storage

On the Edge Storage tab, you can update or enhance the functionality of your application by adding or modifying edge storage.
FastEdge applications edge storage
Providing Edge Storage to your application: You define a name for the store within the application and then select an edge store from Edge Storage, linking it to the application.
  • BLACKLIST - name as defined in the application.
  • KNOWN_BAD_IP_ADDRESSES - storage that is linked to the application.
To access the storage within the application you would use Store::open("BLACKLIST") as this is the name as defined within the application.
InfoBy using our Javascript SDK or Rust SDK, you can configure the Edge Storage according to your use cases.
