Connect Akto with TCP Agent

Introduction

You can use Akto traffic collectors to collect and send traffic to Akto. 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 traffic collector container

1. Start a docker service aktosecurity/mirror-api-logging:k8s_agent to any instance you want to collect traffic

2. Set the following env variables.

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

   2. Replace <AKTO_MONGO_IP> with mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017, if you're on hybrid setup or with your mongodb IP if it's accessible and you're on on-premise deployment.
