Installing Traffic connector

You can use either a CloudFormation template or a helm chart to install Traffic aggregator in your env.

CloudFormation template

1. To install using CloudFormation, run the Cloudformation template here.

i) Please make sure you install it in a private subnet from your application VPC.

ii) This private subnet should also have network connectivity (typically via NAT).

2. You can use https://cyborg.akto.io as DatabaseAbstractorUrl . For DatabaseAbstractorToken you can copy it from the helm install command in the above screenshot.

3. Once complete, go to the Output section of CloudFormation Stack and copy AktoNLBIP.

4. The next step is to install a traffic connector.

   1. You can use the above copied AktoNLBIP as AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL in your traffic connectors. Note that AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL is inclusive of port (eg akto-N-.....amazonaws.com:9092)

   2. For AKTO_MONGO_CONN , you can use mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017/admini.

Helm chart

1. If you have K8s clusters, you can use helm chart to install Traffic aggregator. Copy helm install command by clicking on copy command button.

2. Run this command in your k8s cluster, which will deploy a new Akto Traffic aggregator service.

3. Run the below command and copy the CLUSTER-IP and PORT value for Traffic aggregator service. In the below example it will be 172.20.169.203:9092

kubectl get svc -n <namespace>

4. The next step is to install a traffic connector.

1. You can use the above copied IP:PORT value as AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL in your traffic connectors. Note that AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL is inclusive of port (eg 172.20.169.203:9092)

2. For AKTO_MONGO_CONN , you can use mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017/admini.

Notes:

1. Ensure internet connectivity in Traffic aggregator service.

2. In case of closed network, please whitelist (https://cyborg.akto.io)

3. Ensure that traffic connector is able to connect to Traffic aggregator service
