Connecting to Analytics Data Store
You need to establish a communication channel between API Gateway and analytics data store to exchange data. This section explains the steps to enable API Gateway to connect to analytics data store.
You can also connect to an analytics data store through externalized configurations. For more details, see
Externalizing Configurations .
A sample analytics data store externalized configuration is as follows:
---
apigw:
analyticsDataStore:
tenantId: default
hosts: localhost:9241
http:
username: analyticsdatastore
password: changeme
keepAlive: true
keepAliveMaxConnections: 60
keepAliveMaxConnectionsPerRoute: 20
connectionTimeout: 2000
socketTimeout: 40000
maxRetryTimeout: 200000
https:
enabled: false
keystoreFilepath: C:/softwares/analyticsdatastore/config/demouser-keystore.jks
truststoreFilepath: C:/softwares/analyticsdatastore/config/truststore.jks
keystoreAlias: cn=demouser
keystorePassword: 6572b9b06156a0ff778c
truststorePassword: 2c0820e69e7dd5356576
enforceHostnameVerification: false
sniff:
enable: false
timeInterval: 70000
outboundProxy:
enabled: false
alias: somealias
clientHttpResponseSize: 200
To connect API Gateway to analytics data store
2. Configure an external Kibana connecting to analytics data store for rendering dashboards in API Gateway. For information about how to connect to external Kibana, see
Connecting to an External Kibana. Note:
Once analytics data store is used or connected on startup of API Gateway, the default internal Kibana is not used anymore. For rendering dashboards, you require external Kibana.
3. Configure the apigw.analytics.ds.hosts property in the analyticsds.properties file located at SAGInstallDirectory\IntegrationServer\instances\instance_name\packages\WmAPIGateway\config\resources\elasticsearch. For example, apigw.analytics.ds.hosts=localhost:9241.
Note:
When you reset the apigw.analytics.ds.hosts with an invalid host value, analytics data store is not used to store the analytics data. Set the apigw.kibana.autostart property to true in the uiconfiguration.properties file located at SAGInstallDirectory\profiles\IS_default\apigateway\config to use internal Kibana again.
API Gateway connects to the analytics data store.
Start up sequence of components when using analytics data store for the first time:
1. Start external analytics data store.
2. Start API Gateway.
3. After API Gateway is started and available, start external Kibana.
