Connect Akto with Docker

Introduction

You can add akto-traffic-collector service to your docker-compose file. Your APIs from this traffic will show up in Akto dashboard.

Adding Akto traffic processor

1. Set up and configure Akto Traffic Processor and save the mini-runtime service URL. The steps are mentioned here. Alternatively, if you're on on-premise deployment, save the runtime service URL.

Adding Akto docker service

1. Create a file docker-akto-collector.env with the following content.

   1. Replace <AKTO_NLB> with the mini-runtime/runtime service URL saved earlier.

AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_TIME_SECS=10
AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_SIZE=100
AKTO_INFRA_MIRRORING_MODE=gcp
AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL=<AKTO_NLB>:9092
AKTO_MONGO_CONN=mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017

1. Add the following service to your docker-compose file. Adjust the mem_limit accordingly.

  akto-api-security-traffic-collector:
    image: aktosecurity/mirror-api-logging:k8s_agent
    env_file: ./docker-akto-collector.env
    mem_limit: 512m    
    restart: always
    network_mode: host

Run with a single command

You can run the traffic collector with one docker run command. Replace <AKTO_NLB> with the mini-runtime/runtime service URL.

docker run -d \
  --name akto-api-security-traffic-collector \
  --restart always \
  --network host \
  --cpus="0.5" \
  --memory="512m" \
  -e AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_TIME_SECS=10 \
  -e AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_SIZE=100 \
  -e AKTO_INFRA_MIRRORING_MODE=gcp \
  -e AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL="<AKTO_NLB>:9092" \
  -e AKTO_MONGO_CONN=mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017 \
  public.ecr.aws/aktosecurity/mirror-api-logging:k8s_agent
