The following environment variables configure Redis persistence.

  • REDIS_HOST(String, default: "localhost") - Host of the Redis connection.

  • REDIS_USE_TLS(Boolean, default: false) - Whether to connect to Redis over TLS.
  • REDIS_CA_CERT_PATH(String, default: "") - Path to SSL CA on disk for connecting to Redis.
  • REDIS_SERVER_CERT_PATH(String, default: "") - Path to SSL Cert on disk for connecting to Redis
  • REDIS_SERVER_KEY_PATH(String, default: "") - Path to SSL Key on disk for connecting to Redis.
  • REDIS_PASS(String, default: "") - Password if required by Redis.
  • REDIS_DB(Integer, default: 0) - Which database to use in Redis.
  • REDIS_MAX_RETRIES(String, default: "5") - Max number of times to attempt to connect to Redis.
  • REDIS_RETRY_DELAY(String, default: "1s") - Duration between Redis connection attempts

Note: Several instances of gm-catalog can share a single Redis.

Logging

The log level of the greymatter.io Catalog service can be retrieved and dynamically changed via the following requests:

GET /logging

Returns the current log level.

current log level = info

PUT /logging?level=<log-level>

Updates the log level to the level indicated in query parameter level.

Level should be one of: error, warn, info, debug.

Environment Configuration File

If you’re running the Catalog executable binary manually you can also provide a configuration file with key/value pairs.
