Creating the analytics-extra-values file

Create the installation extra-values file for IBM® API Connect Analytics so that you can deploy the Analytics subsystem with additional configuration settings on VMware.

Before you begin

You only need to create the analytics-extra-values file if you plan to add configuration options while installing the Analytics subsystem. For information on the available configuration options, see Planning your Analytics deployment.

About this task

To apply configuration options to the Analytics subsystem during installation, create an extra-values file where you can specify your settings. You can name the file anything you want but you must save it as a .yaml file. The examples in the installation documentation call the file analytics-extra-values.yaml. 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 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 as explained in the following topics.
