Creating the analytics-extra-values file

Create the installation extra-values file for API Connect Analytics so that you can configure additional features.

Before you begin

Create the analytics-extra-values.yaml file if you plan to use features such as persistent queue, data offloading to third-party systems, modifying incoming data, or disabling internal storage. For information on the available configuration options, see Planning your Analytics deployment. This file can be created and features configured or reconfigured after installation, except for disabling internal storage, which must be set before installation and cannot be changed afterward.

About this task

To apply configuration options to the Analytics subsystem during installation, create an extra-values file where you can specify your settings. Use the analytics-extra-values.yaml file to apply configuration settings when you install, upgrade, and update the configuration of your Analytics subsystem.

Procedure

  1. Create a file called analytics-extra-values.yaml and open it for editing.
  2. For the first line in the file, add: 
    spec:

    All of your configuration options must follow this line, and must be indented with 2 spaces (or more for nested values).

  3. Save the file.

What to do next

Add configuration options to the analytics-extra-values.yaml file as explained in Enabling additional analytics features. If you do not want to configure additional analytics features, continue to Deploying the Analytics subsystem.
