Setting up Tyk MDCB

Tyk MDCB is mainly configured using a single file - tyk_sink.conf. It only needs to be able to access your Redis and MongoDB databases.

Tyk MDCB has a separate license, which you can request from your account representative.

The configuration file

    {
        "storage": {
            "type": "redis",
            "host": "localhost",
            "port": 6379
        },
        "hash_keys": true,
        "analytics": {
            "mongo_url": "mongodb://localhost/tyk_analytics"
        },
        "license": ""
    }

• storage: This section describes your centralised Redis DB, this will act as your master key store for all of your clusters.

• hash_keys: Set to true if you are using a hashed configuration install of Tyk, otherwise set to false.

• analytics: This section must point to your MongoDB replica set and must be a valid mongoDB replica set URL.

• license: Enter your license in this section so MDCB can start.
