Agent Node Configuration

Specifies the node configuration in the server farm. Generally, it contains the application host connection and other network-related configuration settings. Agent configuration uses the layered configuration in the following order;

• <installdir>/appsettings.json

• <installdir>/Configuration/appsettings.json

• <installdir>/Configuration/Custom/appsettings.json

• Environment variables

• Command line arguments

• <installdir>/Configuration/Custom/protectedsettings.json

Default configuration is stored in <installdir>/appsettings.json file and it is not recommended to change. Any change should be specified in <installdir>/Configuration/appsettings.json or other layers.

Environment Variables

Any environment variable that starts with "AK_" prefix overrides the configuration entries in appsettings.json file. For example, host configuration connection can be specified as an environment variable;

AK_DbProvider = "Postgres"
AK_DbConnStr = "Host=myserver;Database=emakin;Username=emakin;Password=mypassword;"

Command Line Arguments

Any command line argument to the agent executable overrides the configuration entries.

.\AltiKare.Workflow.Agent.exe DBConnStr="Host=myserver;Database=emakin;Username=emakin;Password=mypassword;"

Encrypting Configuration Settings

By default, all configuration parameters are stored in plain text JSON files but sensitive settings like database connection string can be encrypted if needed.

• <installdir>/Configuration/Custom/protectedsettings.json

For example, the database connection string can be set with;

.\AltiKare.Workflow.Agent.exe setconfig DbConnStr DBConnStr 'Host=myserver;Database=emakin;Username=emakin;Password=mypassword;'

Detailed information can be found in the CLI interface option.
