### Adding PDF Render to LogScale Configuration

Once the PDF Render Service has been deployed, the LogScale service must be configured to point to the service using the `DEFAULT_PDF_RENDER_SERVICE_URL` configuration variable. This will need to be added to the configuration. For more information, see Basic Configuration.

If you are using a single PDF Render node, set the URL to match the hostname and port of the deployed service:

ini

    DEFAULT_PDF_RENDER_SERVICE_URL="https://pdfrender.local:5123"

If using multiple PDF Render nodes and a load balancer, use the name of the load balancer:

ini

    DEFAULT_PDF_RENDER_SERVICE_URL="https://pdfrenderlb.local:5123"

In addition, the following other environment variables should be set:

- The `ENABLE_SCHEDULED_REPORT` variable must be set to `true`:

  ini

      ENABLE_SCHEDULED_REPORT=true

  This enables the scheduled report functionality.

- Set the `PUBLIC_URL` to the URL of the LogScale deployment. This is shared with the PDF auxiliary node so that data can sent back to the cluster:

  ini

      PUBLIC_URL=https://logscale.local

- Configure an email service, see Email Configuration for more information. An SMTP configuration might look like the following example:

  ini

      SMTP_HOST=localhost
      SMTP_PORT=25
      SMTP_SENDER_ADDRESS=noreply@example.com

A full example configuration:

ini

    DEFAULT_PDF_RENDER_SERVICE_URL="https://pdfrender.local:5123"
    ENABLE_SCHEDULED_REPORT=true
    PUBLIC_URL=https://logscale.local
    SMTP_HOST=localhost
    SMTP_PORT=25
    SMTP_SENDER_ADDRESS=noreply@example.com

This configuration value must be set on each node within the cluster.

For users to be able to create scheduled PDF reports, they should have the `Change Scheduled Reports` permission.
