The default value is 8080. | | `mongo_username` and `mongo_password` | MongoDB username and password. The default username is `absuser`, and the default password is `abs123`. | | `mongo_cache_size` | If you are running all the PingIntelligence components on the same instance, keep the MongoDB cache size to a maximum of 25% of the system memory. If you are running MongoDB on a separate instance, keep the MongoDB cache size to a maximum of 40% of the system memory. | | `mongo_ssl` | Default value is `true`. PingIntelligence deployment ships with a default self-signed certificate. Setting it to `false` establishes non-SSL connection between ABS and Mongo. | | `mongo_certificate_verify` | Set it to `true` if you want to verify MongoDB Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) *(tooltip: \

A protocol for authenticated and encrypted links between networked machines, typically over HTTPS. SSL was deprecated in 1999 in favor of Transport Layer Security (TLS).\

)* server certificate when ABS connects to MongoDB. The default value is `false`. Make sure mongo\_ssl is set to true before setting mongo\_certificate\_verify to true. | | `mongo_replica_set` | Name of the MongoDB replica set. Default name is `absrs01`. | | `attack_initial_training` | The number of hours that you want to train the AI model before it moves to the prediction mode. Default value is 24 hours. | | `system_memory` | Memory size in MB allocated to run machine learning jobs. Recommended to be at least 50% of system memory. | | `access_key` and `secret_key` | The access key and secret for the admin user. For more information on different ABS users, see [ABS users](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_abs_users_api_reports.html). ":" (colon) is a restricted character and not allowed in access key and secret key. | | `access_key_ru` and `secret_key_ru` | The access key and secret for the restricted user. For more information on different ABS users, see [ABS users](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_abs_users_api_reports.html). ":" (colon) is a restricted character and not allowed in access key and secret key. | | `jks_password` | The password of the Java KeyStore (JKS) *(tooltip: \

To change the password, you need the current password. | | `poc_mode` | Sets the mode in which the artificial intelligence (AI) engine sets the thresholds for the AI models. If set to `true`, AI engine sets thresholds at a lower value. It should be set to `true` only for a proof-of-concept deployment. | | `consumer_user` | ABS consumer user in Kafka.Default: `abs_consumer` | | `producer_user` | ABS producer user in Kafka.Default: `abs_producer` | | `abs_groupid` | ABS group in Kafka.Default: `pi4api.abs` | | `consumer_authentication_password` | ABS consumer user password.Default: `changeme` | | `producer_authentication_password` | ABS producer user password.Default: `changeme` | | `min_insync_replicas` | Minimum number of insync replicas for data in Kafka. | | `transactions_topic` | ABS transaction topic in Kafka. | | `attacks_topic` | ABS attack topic in Kafka. | | `anomalies_topic` | ABS anomalies topic in Kafka. | | `discovery_topic` | ABS discovery topic in Kafka. | | `topic_partitions` | Number of partitions for topics. | | `replication_factor` | Replication factor for topics. | | `retention_period` | Retention period of data on topics. | | `kafka_server_url` | Pre-existing Kafka `ip:port` that must be configured in `config/abs-defaults.yml`. | | `kafka_custom_truststore_password` | Pre-existing Kafka truststore password in `config/abs-defaults.yml`. | | `management_port` | API Publish service port.Default: `8050` | | `jks_password` | API Publish service JKS password.You can change the password for the JKS file. It will be generated during installation. | | `mongo_certificate_verify` | Mongodb Server Certificate Verification for API Publish service.Default: `false` | | `server_ssl_key_alias` | Alias for API Publish service SSL JKS file.Default: `pingidentity` | | `data_dbname` | API Publish service database name.Default: `abs_data` | | `meta_database` | API Publish service metadatabase name.Default: `abs_metadata` | | `current_admin_password` | API Publish service CLI password.Default: `admin` | | `new_admin_password` | API Publish service new admin password.Default: `admin` |
