Web UI backend/frontend communication

Communication between web server and browser is based on Juggler communication.

Server state

Server state is used for providing continuously updated list of log entries to clients, based on applied filters.

State structure is defined by JSON schema hat-syslog://juggler.yaml#/definitions/state (see Juggler JSON Schemas).

Request/response

Juggler request/response communication is used for changing filter parameters.

Request data structures are defined by JSON schema hat-syslog://juggler.yaml#/definitions/request (see Juggler JSON Schemas).

In case of successful request execution, response data is null.
