Tyk Dashboard Configuration Options

You can use environment variables to override the config file for the Tyk Dashboard. The Dashboard configuration file can be found in the tyk-dashboard folder and by default is called tyk_analytics.conf, though it can be renamed and specified using the --conf flag. Environment variables are created from the dot notation versions of the JSON objects contained with the config files. To understand how the environment variables notation works, see Environment Variables.

All the Dashboard environment variables have the prefix TYK_DB_. The environment variables will take precedence over the values in the configuration file.
