AMI Configuration Guide

GETTING STARTED

Overview

Browse to the 3forge > amione > config directory and create a new, empty local.properties file and place each property to override on its own line in the format property.name=value

Hint: You can copy the default.properties to local.properties to get started with good default values.

You might ask, why doesn't AMI just come with a default local.propertiers? This is so that when you download and update to a new version of AMI this file will not be overwritten, hence maintaining your existing settings.

Sample local.properties

#My local.properties located under config directory

#Note, lines starting with pounds are comments (except for #INCLUDE)

#Override the http port to standard port

http.port=80

#Override the location of the access.txt file

users.access.file=/home/myname/access.txt

#Process and include properties from a custom properties file

#INCLUDE home/env_specific.properties

#Define my own custom value

my.custom.value=5

#Reference my custom value

ami.frames.per.second=${my.custom.value}

#Append to an existing variable

ami.datasource.plugins=$${ami.datasource.plugins},com.my.Plugin

#Remove a specific property in any of AMI's prepackaged configuration (root.properties, speedlogger.properties, defaults.properties).

#UNDEFINE speedlogger.sink.FILE_SINK.maxFiles=10

Common Properties (Applies to Components: Center, Relay, Web, WebBalancer)

Note: To run the ami relay, include relay in the list of components found in the the ami.components property, ex: ami.components=relay

Relay General Properties (AMI One, AMI Relay)

• ami.relay.id: Sets the unique name of the relay. This is used to distinguish relays on the front end (when there are multiple relays connected to a single center).  Each relay should have a unique id
• ami.port: Sets the port that applications connect to on the Relay's host machine. The default port is 3289. See AMI Realtime API. When set to -1, the socket is not started and refuses any connections to the relay.
• ami.port.bindaddr: Optional. Specifies the network interface that the ami.port server port be bound to
• ami.port.keystore.file: The path to the key store file, generated using java's keytool.
• ami.port.keystore.password: The password associated with the key store file.
• ami.port.wait.for.center: The duration to wait for center to start up
• ami.port.whitelist: Provide either a list of permitted hostname patterns or plugin for blocking/granting access based on foreign network address. Syntax is either file:<file_containing_a_hostname_patterns_per_line> or text:<comma_delimited_list_of_hostname_patterns> or plugin:<class_name_implementing_com.f1.ami.amicommon.AmiServerSocketEntitlementsPlugin>

• ami.center.port: Sets the port of the primary instance of ami center
• ami.center.host: Sets the hostname of the primary instance of ami center
• ami.centers: A comma delimited list of centers' host:port to connect to. You can optionally prefix host:port with an alias in the form alias=host:port, in which case the alias will be used to reference the center within the relay.routes file. If an alias is not provided, then the alias is the host:port. Ex: ami.centers=myprimary=localhost:3270,other=some.host.com:3270
• ami.center.[name].keystore.file: Supply if center is using ssl connection. The path to the key store file, generated using java's keytool. (Name is the center name as it appears in ami.centers property)
• ami.center.[name].keystore.contents.base64: Supply if center is using ssl connection. The contents of the keystore as a base64 (instead of supplying the file name) (Name is the center name as it appears in ami.centers property)
• ami.center.[name].keystore.password: Supply if center is using ssl connection. The password associated with the key store file (Name is the center name as it appears in ami.centers property)
• ami.relay.persist.dir: Where to store the recovery journal files, if ami.relay.guaranteed.messaging.enabled is set to true. Default is ./persist
• ami.relay.guaranteed.messaging.enabled: If true, the relay will use a store and forward journal to record messages to disk prior to an ACK message being sent to the originating client.  The journal can also be used to deliver messages to late-subscribing Ami Centers. Default is false.

• ami.relay.routes.file: a file containing routing tables used for controlling which real-time streaming messages are sent to which center(s). Default is data/relay.routes  See Relay Routes File for details. Note, if a file is not found, a placeholder file with instructions will be created there.
• ami.log.messages: If set to true, all messages sent into and out of ami relay to/from other applications will be logged to a file

• ami.send.cr: If set to true, by default the relay will send a CR back on each response, in addition to a new line

Relay.routes File

The relay can be connected to any number of centers (see ami.centers property). By default, as messages are sent from an external source into a relay they are forwarded to all centers. By adding rules to the relay.routes file (see ami.relay.routes.file) you can control which centers are receiving messages based on any parameters within a message and/or the structure of the message itself. Each line within the file is an isolated rule.

To support dynamic routing, changes to this file during runtime will take effect immediately

Each line in the relay routes file is an isolated rule, with the following format:

ROUTE_NAME;PRIORITY;MESSAGE_TYPES;OBJECT_TYPES;PARAM_TYPES;EXPRESSION;ROUTE_LIST;SUCCESS_ACTION;FAIL_ACTION;SKIP_ACTION

Parameter	Description
ROUTE_NAME	Unique name of rule
PRIORITY	Higher priority rules execute first. Lower numbers have higher priority, with 0 being the highest priority. Ties are determined using alphabetical route name
MESSAGE_TYPES	Comma delimited list of messages types, only O (object), D (delete), C (Command) and S (Status) are supported, * - all types
OBJECT_TYPES	Comma delimited list of types to evaluate by this rule. Blank - skip rule, * - all types
PARAM_TYPES	Comma delimited list of param types for the rule in the format: Name Type [nonull]
EXPRESSION	Expression to evaluate, must return boolean, true return value indicates rule succeeded
ROUTE_LIST	Comma delimited list of centers to send message to. Blank - no centers, * - all servers
ON_TRUE	Action if Expression returns true: BREAK - stop evaluating rules, blank or CONTINUE - continue evaluating next rule
ON_FALSE	Action if Expression returns false or null: BREAK - stop evaluating rules, blank or CONTINUE - Continue evaluating next rule

Starting at the highest priority rule (lowest number), if the MESSAGE_TYPES and OBJECT_TYPES and PARAM_TYPES match the message, then the fields defined in the PARAM_TYPES are extracted from the message and passed into the EXPRESSION. If the expression returns true then the message is sent to all centers in the ROUTE_LIST. The ON_TRUE, ON_FALSE determine what to do next respective to the outcome.

Notes:

• Lines starting with a pound (#) are considered comments and skipped
• A particular message will only be sent to a particular center at most once, regardless of how many rules it matches

Example

#For NewOrder and Cancel messages with a symbol, route based on symbol. For all other messages router to all centers

RULE0;0;O,D;NewOrder,Cancel;Symbol String nonull;symbol < "F";Center0;BREAK;

RULE1;1;O,D;NewOrder,Cancel;Symbol String nonull;symbol < "Q";Center1;BREAK;

RULE2;2;O,D;NewOrder,Cancel;Symbol String nonull;true;Center2,Center3;BREAK;

RULE3;3;*;*;;true;*;BREAK;

Example messages:

O|T="NewOrder"|Symbol="AAPL"    <== will be sent Center0

O|T="NewOrder"|Symbol="IBM"    <== will be sent Center1

O|T="NewOrder"|Symbol="ZVZZT"    <== will be sent to both Center2,Center3

• ami.shared.layouts.dir: base directory of where shared layouts are stored (those layouts available to end non-dev users). Default is data/shared
• ami.cloud.dir: base directory of the AMI Cloud. Layouts and user settings saved to the cloud will be stored in this directory.
• ami.users.file: file name of the users configuration file. See "Access Configuration File for Web" section for details.
• ami.web.default.layout.shared: [Deprecated, use ami.web.default.layout=SHARED:<layoutname>] Name of the layout's file name. If Specified, then any users that login will be automatically assigned to the specified layout, and developer/admin mode will not be available.  See ami.shared.layouts.dir for where shared layouts are located.
• ami.font.files: A list of true type font files (.ttf) to load make available for use in dashboards. May include wild cards, ex: my/fonts/*.ttf
• ami.fonts.in.browser: A list of font family names that are assumed to be available in the browser, meaning the ttf definitions will not be transferred to the browser even if a corresponding ttf file is specified (see ami.font.files). The default is: Arial,Courier,Georgia,Impact,Lucida,Times New Roman,Verdana
• ami.webmanager.host: Optional location for where to access webmanager, used for remotely loading files. If not specified, local file system is used.
• ami.webmanager.port: Optional location for where to access webmanager, used for remotely loading files.
• ami.web.default.LAYOUTS: A comma-delimited list of layout names that are accessible for the users that are non-dev and non-admin.

Default layout

The default layout is the layout to load when a particular user logs in. There are some properties that give a fine control on how the default layout is determined. The property with lower number of priority will be considered first.
If ami.web.default.DEFAULT_LAYOUT (with priority 0) is present, then all other properties with bigger priority values will be ignored.

• ami.web.default.DEFAULT_LAYOUT: PRIORITY 0
• ami.web.default.layout: PRIORITY 1
• The user's ami_layout_shared in access.txt: PRIORITY 2
• ami.web.default.layout.shared: PRIORITY 3 (This is deprecated, suggested to use ami.web.default.layout=SHARED:<layoutname> instead )
  • note that using ami.web.default.layout.shared in conjunction with ami.shared.layouts.dir=path/to/dir will load a specific layout to every user who logs in, regardless if they are present in access.txt or if you are using an authentication plugin.

The properties above will apply for all users in access.txt. If you want a finer control of default layouts for each individual user, you could put the <property> from the ami.web.default.<property> at the end of each user clause in access.txt, as an example:
If there are two users: user1 and user2. We want to assign user1_defaultLayout.ami to user1 as the default layout, and user2_defaultLayout.ami for user2, then in access.txt:
user1|123456|ISADMIN=true|ISDEV=true|DEFAULT_LAYOUT=user1_defaultLayout.ami
user2|123456|ISADMIN=true|ISDEV=true|DEFAULT_LAYOUT=user2_defaultLayout.ami

Deprecated

• ami.web.default.layout;
• ami.web.default.layout.shared; use ami.web.default.layout=SHARED:<layoutname>
• ami.web.default.to.admin;

WebBalancer.routes

Overview

This file (specified by ami.webbalancer.routes.file) should contain a list of rules, one rule per line.

Rule Format

CLIENT_MASK;SERVERS_LIST;ON_FAILURE #comments

Parameter	Description
CLIENT_MASK	A pattern matching expression for client ip addresses, (*=wild)
SERVERS_LIST	a comma delimited list of [weighting*]protocol://host:port entries. (Only http,https protocols supported, default is http)
ON_FAILURE	If all servers in SERVERS_LIST are down, either CONTINUE trying other rules or BREAK and return error to user. Default is BREAK

Each new client connection is passed through the webbalancer rules engine to determine which list of webservers are candidates for forwarding starting at the highest priority (first) rule.

If the client's ip address (as seen by the webbalancer) matches the CLIENT_MASK portion then a web server from the SERVERS_LIST option is chosen for forwarding, see selection strategy for details. The selected forwarding is "sticky for all subsequent connections from the same client ip address for the life of the session (see ami.webbalancer.session.timeout.period for determining when a session can expire).

Selection Strategy The servers from the SERVERS_LIST with an UP status (see ami.webbalancer.server.test.url property determining UP/DOWN status of a server) and the least number of active client sessions is chosen, based on the servers weighting. Ties broken via round-robin. All entries have a default weighting of one (1) but can be overridden by prefixing with a weighting and star (*). Servers with higher weightings will be assigned more users. For example, https://server1:33332,2*https://server2:33332,.5*server3:33332. In this scenario, server 2 would get twice the number of users as server1. Server 3 would get half the number of users as server 1.

Note: If a client address can not be matched to a rule the user will receive an error message.

Examples

192.168.1.1|192.168.1.2|192.168.1.3;https://server1:33332,https://server2:33332; #send those 3 clients to either server1 or server2

192.168.1.*;https://server3:33332; #send all clients in the 192.168.1 address range to server3

192.168.2.*;1*https://server6:33332;4*https://server7:33332; #send all clients in the 192.168.2 address range to server6 or server7. 1/5th of users to server6 and 4/5ths to server7

*;http://server4:33332,http://server5:33332; #all others get sent to server4 or server5

Default:

*;http://localhost:33332;BREAK

WebManager Configuration Properties

Note: To run the ami webmanager, include webmanager in the list of components found in the the ami.components property, ex: ami.components=webmanager

• ami.webmanager.port: The server port that the webmanager listens on for connections from ami web servers
• ami.webmanager.port.bindaddr: The server port to bind to
• ami.webmanager.port.whitelist: The whitelist used to control connections accepted on the port
• ami.webmanager.mapping.pwd: The working directory for file requests, default is java's path of working directory, typically under 3forge/amione.
• ami.webmanager.mapping.roots: A key=value comma delimited list of roots that web server file requests are mapped to. The key is a "logical name" and the value is the "actual location". Ex: /public=/opt/files,/=/ takes all file requests under /public and maps them to /opt/files, otherwise all files starting with / are mapped to /
• ami.webmanager.mapping.strict: If true, file requests requesting a parent directory (via ..) will be rejected. Also, requests denoting home directory (~) will be directory. Default is true. IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: Setting to false will allow remote access to all host files accesible by user process.

Default Authentication Access File (Applies to Components: Web)

When an authentication plugin is not supplied a configurable "access" file is referenced by default. Note, this should only be used for testing and other non-production purposes due the lack of security, etc. This is where usernames, passwords, default layouts, and user parameters are defined. The access configuration files lives in the directory of the Web application and is named data/access.txt by default.  Each line should contain a single user's entry which is pipe (|) delimited. The first entry is the username, 2nd is the password, additional parameters are key=value.

Username: First Param, the username defined is what a user needs to login as.

Password: Second Param, this is the only place that passwords can be set for users.

key=value: Additional parameters. The following keys are supported:

  ISDEV=true/false - Determines if the user should have developer rights, aka should they have the green toggle button in the upper right corner
  ISADMIN=true/false - Determines if the user should have admin rights, aka should they have the green toggle button in the upper right corner
  amiscript.variable.varname=value  - Defines a variable in the user session, with the type inferred. For example amiscript.variable.blah=123 creates a variable named blah of type int with the value 123.  Alternatively, amiscript.variable.blah="123" would create the variable as a string instead.
  amivar.varname=value  - Deprecated - defines a variable of type string in the user session prefixed with user<dot> For example amivar.blah=123 creates a variable inside user user's session named user.blah with the string value "123"
  developer_ami_editor_keyboard=vi/default - For developer mode, should the editor use plain text or vi mode
  ami_layout_shared=default layout to load (under the directory configured using the ami.shared.layouts.dir property)
  ami_layout_current=Current layout
  LAYOUTS=A comma delimited list of regular expressions for layouts that are available to this user. This is only applicable to CLOUD layouts.

User Parameters: parameters can be assigned to a user. These parameters can then be used to modify the user's access to data and inputs.  

Example Configuration File

jdoe|jdoe123|ami_layout_shared=ACME.ami|amivar_group=ops

csmith|password1234

exampleusername|pass24|amivar_region=asia

exampleusername|pass24|LAYOUTS=overview.ami, report.ami, *rfp.ami

Instructions: Encrypting values inside .properties files

For this example, let's say you have the following property in your local.properties and you want to encode the password

myurl=http://blah?pass=password123456&user=steve

Step 1: Under the scripts directory, use the tools.sh to create a 128-bit strength key (feel free to adjust the strength).

./tools.sh --aes_generate /opt/ami/secret.aes 128

Step 2: Add this option to your start.sh so that AMI knows where the secret key for decoding encrypted properties is located

-Dproperty.f1.properties.secret.key.files=/opt/ami/secret.aes

Step 3: Using the same tools.sh, Encode the password and copy the output text into your clipboard

./tools.sh -aes_encrypt /opt/ami/secret.aes password123456

_fYjHz8Dr4o7XjZcOd1BhtKzV9U5MpZMpTyGlu-mpheL4qV-ZX-yUads

Step 4: Change your local.properties file to use the encrypted value instead, by enclosing with ${CIPHER: ... }

myurl=http://blah?pass=${CIPHER:_fYjHz8Dr4o7XjZcOd1BhtKzV9U5MpZMpTyGlu-mpheL4qV-ZX-yUads}&user=steve

Step 5: Restart AMI

In the AmiOne.log you'll see that the value for the myurl property is substituted with ***** for security purposes.

Two Notes

For additional passwords: Skip steps 1 and 2

Tip: you can also decrypt using tool.sh by running:

./tools.sh -aes_decrypt /opt/ami/secret.aes _fYjHz8Dr4o7XjZcOd1BhtKzV9U5MpZMpTyGlu-mpheL4qV-ZX-yUads password123456
