Reference: General properties

The basic configuration of nJAMS Client for Mule4 takes place in config file njams.properties. This configuration file resides in <your-project>/src/main/resources/njams/. Use an editor of your choice and edit njams.properties according to your needs.

Note

Any change in this configuration file requires a re-start of the MuleSoft Runtime Engine instances.

Communication

The following properties deal with the communication between nJAMS Client and nJAMS Server, respectively nJAMS Cloud.

njams.sdk.communication:
 

Select type of communication with nJAMS Server, respectively nJAMS Cloud:

JMS nJAMS Client for Mule4 communicates with nJAMS Server instance via ActiveMQ. This settings is used for using nJAMS Server on premise, respectively private cloud.

CLOUD nJAMS Client for Mule4 communicates with an nJAMS Cloud instance. This setting is used, if you are using nJAMS Cloud service.

In case you are using JMS:

njams.sdk.communication.jms.connectionFactory:
 Sets the connection factory, for example “ConnectionFactory”.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.username:
 Use a valid JMS server user that has the required privileges to send and receive messages on the destinations defined in njams.sdk.communication.jms.destination.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.password:
 The JMS user’s password.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.destination:
 The JMS destination name prefix. The prefix will be extended with .event for event messages send by nJAMS Client for Mule4 and .commands for messages send from the server to the nJAMS Client for Mule4. Default is njams.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.destination.commands:
 Name of the JMS destination that is used to send commands from nJAMS Server to nJAMS Client for Mule4. This setting is optional and only used, if you want to use a dedicated topic commands.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.factory.initial:
 Sets the JNDI context factory.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.security.principal:
 Set JNDI user name.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.security.credentials:
 Set JNDI user’s password.
njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.provider.url:
 The JNDI server connection url. Fault-tolerant or load-balanced URLs are supported.

njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.security.credentials=njams
njams.sdk.communication.jms.java.naming.provider.url=tibjmsnaming://localhost:7222

In case you are using nJAMS Cloud:

The following properties have to be configured to allow nJAMS Client for Mule4 to create a secure connection via https to a designated nJAMS Cloud Instance. You can find the configuration of the Cloud Data Provider within the Instance Setup of your Integration Matters account. A subscription of nJAMS Cloud is required.

njams.sdk.communication.cloud.apikey:
 Refers to absolute path of API key file.
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.endpoint:
 Endpoint of Integration Matters client hub. Default is ingest.integrationmatters.com and does not need to be changed.
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.certificate:
 Refers to absolute path of client certificate file.
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.instanceId:
 Unique id of your nJAMS Cloud Instance.
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.privatekey:
 Refers to absolute path of private key file.

Sample configuration of a Cloud Data Provider:

## SDK configuration
# Communication settings
njams.sdk.communication=CLOUD

# Cloud Data Provider:
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.apikey=/opt/tibco/njams/api.key
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.endpoint=ingest.integrationmatters.com
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.certificate=/opt/tibco/njams/certificate.pem
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.instanceId=4711
njams.sdk.communication.cloud.client.privatekey=/opt/tibco/njams/private.pem.key

Subagent

The following properties configure Subagent against nJAMS Agent service:

njams.sdk.subagent.enabled:
 

Turn on/off Subagent.

true enables Subagent (default).

false disables Subagent.

njams.sdk.subagent.host:
 

Name of the server that hosts nJAMS Agent service. Enter a hostname or ip-address, default is localhost.

njams.sdk.subagent.port:
 

Port number of nJAMS Agent service, default is 6450.

Sample settings for Subagent:

# Enable Subagent and configure against nJAMS Agent on localhost:
njams.sdk.subagent.enabled=true
njams.sdk.subagent.host=localhost
njams.sdk.subagent.port=6450

Confiuration stores

nJAMS Client for Mule4 must persist dynamic configuration information such as Trace Points and Extracts. The client offers to separate options to persist that configuration: file and objectstore.

When deploying to MuleSoft CloudHub any restart of the application will erase any configuration stored in a local file. To overcome this and retain settings over the application’s lifecycle, using a persistent objectstore is the best option.

njams.sdk.configuration.provider:
 

Specifies configuration provider, respectively the location where nJAMS Client for Mule4 stores the application based configuration.

file stores configuration on storage device (default).

objectstore sets the configuration provider to use (persistent) object store

njams.sdk.configuration.file.file:
 

The path to the configuration file to use. If not set, the following default value will be used: <MULE_WORKING_DIRECTORY>/njams/<njams.client.sdk.domain>_<njams.client.sdk.deployment>_<njams.client.sdk.engine>.json Must end with .json suffix, when pointing to a file. If the path points to an existing file, that file will be used. If it points to a directory, a file with a default name will be created in that directory. Directories will be created automatically.

njams.sdk.configuration.objectstore.name:
 

The name of the object store to use. Default is _defaultPersistentObjectStore.

njams.sdk.configuration.objectstore.refreshinterval:
 

Defines how frequently to refresh the configuration in the objectstore in minutes. Default is 60 minutes. MuleSoft CloudHub will expire objectstore entries after 30 days of inactivity.

Sample configuration for using objectstore:

# Configuration store: objectstore
njams.sdk.configuration.provider=objectstore
njams.sdk.configuration.objectstore.name=_defaultPersistentObjectStore
njams.sdk.configuration.objectstore.refreshinterval=60

Additional properties

The following properties are not required to be changed in most cases. Please only change these values, if you are fully aware of the effects.

njams.client.sdk.domain:
 Specifies domain name as fallback. In case nJAMS Client for Mule4 could not determine the domain name, the specified value is . Default is Domain.
njams.client.sdk.deployment:
 Specifies deployment name as fallback. In case nJAMS Client for Mule4 could not determin the deployment name, the specified value is taken. Default is Deployment.
njams.client.sdk.engine:
 Specifies engine name as fallback. In case nJAMS Client for Mule4 could not determin the engine name, the specified value is taken. Default is Engine.

Sample configuration of nJAMS Client for Mule4 taxonomy:

# Taxonomy:
njams.client.sdk.domain=TestDomain
njams.client.sdk.deployment=Deployment
njams.client.sdk.engine=Engine
njams.client.sdk.discardpolicy:
 

Discards messages from memory, when maxQueueLength is exceeded.

none blocks the MuleSoft Runtime Engine application until queue size is below threshold (default).

discard will discard of the message.

OnConnectionLoss only discards event messages, if there is no connection available to JMS or Cloud provider. Otherwise the engine is slowed down until all log messages are sent, respectively queue size is below threshold.

njams.client.sdk.flush_interval:
 

Period of time for collecting events. Enter integer value in seconds. Default is 30.

njams.client.sdk.flushsize:
 

Maximum internal message size. If size of internal message is reached, an instant push is triggered. Enter any integer value > 0 in Byte. Default is 5242880.

Use encrypted passwords

In njams configuration files passwords are usually entered in plain text, such as njams.sdk.communication.jms.password=foo. In case you do not want to use uncoded passwords, you can use encrypted passwords as follows:

Assume, the password of your JMS account is foo:

  1. Call java -jar njams-sdk-4.x.x.jar foo will output encrypted password: ??0190029006d0048004c0055000c0017002d00090005006a004d007100b500bd
  2. Place encrypted password into njams.properties at njams.sdk.communication.jms.password=??0190029006d0048004c0055000c0017002d00090005006a004d007100b500bd
  3. Restart AppNode to make change effective
