I was hoping to get some advice on how to best configure different passwords for a particular JSReport studio user per environment in docker.

The scenario:
There are two docker servers, test and production. The admin user has different passwords configured via environment variable. This works well.

There is also a user named: 'jsreport' that we are using with the .net sdk and basic auth to run reports against the studio. Ideally I would like this user the have different passwords per environment similar to how the admin user environmental variable works.

It looks like I can do an HTTP post to change the password of the 'jsreport' user but I have to wait for the service to startup after a redeploy. So is there a better / easier way to change the password per environment?

Alternatively should I be doing something other than basic auth and would this make security per environment easier? I am using SSL and not using javascript to talk to the server so I don't think security of basic auth is a big concern. Additionally, I really only care about the password of this particular user and am not interested in doing this at scale / for other users.

JSReport is a great product. Thanks for all the help.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help!

The below describes how to use SEQ with nodeJS
https://docs.datalust.co/docs/using-nodejs
I was hoping to gain some insight into where to implement this with JSReport

What I was thinking / have tried:

• Option1: Inside server.js, create the Winston logger and add the new SeqTransport. Presumably this is then available to customize in jsreport.config.json and environmental variables.

• Option 2: Do not use the NPM module and instead use the http transport in jsreport.config.json

Something like:

"logger": {
    "file": {
      "transport": "file",
      "level": "info",
      "filename": "logs/reporter.log"
    },
    "error": {
      "level": "error",
      "transport": "http",
      "host": "https://test-seq.com:5341&apiKey?xxx"
    }
  },

Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.

It appears that if the "Chrome" object is defined for a recipe, it also needs a viewport Width / Height. I am unclear how this object got set to begin width as I am almost exclusively using the editor.

Generates Error:

chrome": {

        "printBackground": true

    },

Does not generate error / Works:

"chrome": {

        "printBackground": true,

        "viewportHeight": 1024,

        "viewportWidth": 1024

    },

Not a pressing issue as this works for what I am doing. Might be nice to have a default width / height if not specified.

When I attempt to specify PDF meta data in the edtor, I am getting an Error: Error when trynig to update "templates" collection. Input contain values that does not match the schema. schema-valdation errors: chrome vewportHeight should be number, null.

This does not appear to happen in the JSReport playground. I also can specify template data by directly editing the recipe using VSCode. That said, I would like to be able to do this with the editor. JSReports v 3.9, recipe: chrome-pdf, engine: handlebars

Any thoughts on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Figured this out. In case anyone else cares, you can click "profile" on the report and see the console.log output.

I would like to use console.log inside JSReport Studio and have it output to the browser console or some place in Report Studio that is accessible to the report creator. My understanding is that the Debug extension used to do this. When I attempt to install this extension, it indicates that it is not compatible with the "Core" extension.

I am aware that debug statements are displayed in the node.js window but I would like to be able to show these messages to the report writer who may not be a developer or have access to the node server console. Thanks.
