Field: dataPath (string) DataPath is the namespace of the data path - where exactly in your service response the namespace can be found. For example, if your service responds with:

{
 "action": "get",
 "node": {
   "key": "/services/single",
   "value": "http://httpbin.org:6000",
   "modifiedIndex": 6,
   "createdIndex": 6
 }
}

then your namespace would be node.value.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.data_path.

Field: useNestedQuery (boolean) UseNestedQuery enables using a combination of dataPath and parentDataPath. It is necessary when the data lives within this string-encoded JSON object.

{

   "value": "{"hostname": "http://httpbin.org", "port": "80"}",
   "modifiedIndex": 6,
   "createdIndex": 6
 }
}

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.use_nested_query.

Field: parentDataPath (string) ParentDataPath is the namespace of the where to find the nested value, if useNestedQuery is true. In the above example, it would be node.value. You would change the dataPath setting to be hostname, since this is where the host name data resides in the JSON string. Tyk automatically assumes that dataPath in this case is in a string-encoded JSON object and will try to deserialize it.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.parent_data_path.

Field: portDataPath (string) PortDataPath is the port of the data path. In the above nested example, we can see that there is a separate port value for the service in the nested JSON. In this case, you can set the portDataPath value and Tyk will treat dataPath as the hostname and zip them together (this assumes that the hostname element does not end in a slash or resource identifier such as /widgets/). In the above example, the portDataPath would be port.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.port_data_path.

Field: useTargetList (boolean) UseTargetList should be set to true, if you are using load balancing. Tyk will treat the data path as a list and inject it into the target list of your API definition.

Tyk classic API definition: service_discovery.use_target_list.

Field: cacheTimeout (int64) CacheTimeout is the timeout of a cache value when a new data is loaded from a discovery service. Setting it too low will cause Tyk to call the SD service too often, setting it too high could mean that failures are not recovered from quickly enough.

Field: cache (ServiceDiscoveryCache) Cache holds cache related flags.

Tyk classic API definition:.
