Connect Akto on TLS service

You can connect your services, even if they're on TLS using akto-traffic-collector service. Your APIs from this traffic will show up in Akto dashboard.

To connect follow the following steps:

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.

2. Run the following docker command to create a container which will collect your traffic.

   1. The kafka_ip here is the mini-runtime/runtime service URL we saved in the previous step.

   2. Ensure that the VM has linux kernel headers installed. They are needed for the eBPF docker container.

   3. Ensure that the docker container can connect to the mini-runtime/runtime service.

docker run -d \
  --name akto-api-security-traffic-collector \
  --restart always \
  --network host \
  --privileged \
  --cap-add SYS_PTRACE \
  --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
  -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules \
  -v /sys/kernel:/sys/kernel \
  -v /usr/src:/usr/src \
  -v /:/host \
  -e AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_TIME_SECS=10 \
  -e AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_SIZE=100 \
  -e AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL="<kafka_ip>" \
  aktosecurity/mirror-api-logging:k8s_ebpf

In case you face an issue with the spaces in the command...

docker run -d --name akto-api-security-traffic-collector --restart always --network host --privileged --cap-add SYS_PTRACE --cap-add SYS_ADMIN -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules -v /sys/kernel:/sys/kernel -v /usr/src:/usr/src -v /:/host -e AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_TIME_SECS=10 -e AKTO_TRAFFIC_BATCH_SIZE=100 -e AKTO_KAFKA_BROKER_MAL="<kafka_ip>" aktosecurity/mirror-api-logging:k8s_ebpf
