Environment Variable Config
The vast majority of configuration is done using the Graphgrid Config service as documented here which is backed by either Redis or AWS Parameter Store. However, some configuration properties are set using environment variables. All Graphgrid services accept the following environment variables:
| Key | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
DEBUG | 0/1 | Setting DEBUG=1 will enable remote debugging on port 5005 |
APM_ENABLED | true/false | Whether to enable Application Performance Monitoring (APM). |
ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL | URL of APM server | Default is http://apm-server:8200 |
AWS_PARAMSTORE_ENABLED | true/false | Determines if services should connect directly to AWS Parameter Store, or to Graphgrid Config. |
All of these variables are set in data/env/graphgrid.env. Anything specified in the docker-compose.yml file will override these values.
See here for the documentation on Docker Compose environment variables. If you'd like
Graphgrid services to connect to AWS, this file is a good place to set AWS_PROFILE and AWS_REGION in addition to a Docker
volume mount like ${HOME}/.aws:/root/.aws:ro.
