Installing the Analytics subsystem

Install the IBM® API Connect analytics subsystem.

Review the section on Planning your analytics deployment to ensure that you understand the choices for configuring the topology, disk space, and other elements of the analytics subsystem.

Note: When the analytics service is configured to store data, it uses OpenSearch, which requires map counts higher than the operating system defaults. The minimum recommended value is 262144. If you plan to store analytics data locally (that is, do you not intend to disable local storage and offload all data), increase the default map count on every Kubernetes node:
  1. To change the map counts on the live system, run the following command on every Kubernetes node:
    sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
  2. To persist this change when node restarts occur, add the following setting to the /etc/sysctl.conf file:
    vm.max_map_count = 262144
For more information, see Important settings in the OpenSearch documentation.
