Configuration Changes

Prev Next

Several services include configurable settings that can be customized. Below are the configuration values available for each service.

How to update configuration

The configuration values can be changed by setting helm chart values while deploying the helm chart using --set configuration.<Configuration Key>=<Configuration value>.
For example, to set ASPNETCORE_SHUTDOWNTIMEOUTSECONDS value to 90 seconds and set RATELIMITING__MaxMessageCount value to 300 messages, the helm command looks like below -

helm upgrade --install cdrplatform-sync-api cdrplatform-sync-api \
--set configuration.ASPNETCORE_SHUTDOWNTIMEOUTSECONDS=90 \
--set configuration.RATELIMITING__MaxMessageCount=300
