To configure an API Behavioral Security (ABS) cluster:

  1. Install MongoDB in a replica set
  2. Connect ABS to MongoDB
  3. To create an ABS cluster, add an ABS node and connect it to MongoDB primary node.
    Note:

    Since ABS forms a stateless cluster, the information of all the nodes in the cluster is fetched by ABS nodes from MongoDB.

  4. To scale down ABS cluster, stop the ABS node that you wish to remove from the cluster.
    1. Edit the abs.properties file to remove MongoDB IP address.
