The file that controls the configuration settings for a Perspectium Meshlet is a yaml file, generally named application.yml or application-dev.yml. This file is included as part of a meshlet's installation. To make changes to the configuration settings for your meshlet, open the yaml file in a text editing application and modify the configurations described in the sections below.

The configurations described below are the essential configurations that must be set for your meshlet. Additional configurations will depend on your integration; see the respective documentation (such as DataSync for Snowflake or ServiceBond for Jira) for further details.


Spring - RabbitMT Configuration

Meshlets connect to the Perspectium Integration Mesh over AMQP/AMQPS. To configure your connection to the Integration Mesh, you will need to include the following configurations under spring.rabbitmq: 

KeyDefault ValueDescription

host


Host name for connecting to the Perspectium Integration Mesh.

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      host: localhost
port 

The AMQP or AMQPS port for connecting to the Perspectium Integration Mesh. The value for this configuration is generally 5672 for connecting over AMQP or 5671 for a secure connection over AMQPS (SSL).

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      port: 5671
username

Username for connecting to the Perspectium Integration Mesh.

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      username: georvioloan
password

Password for connecting to the Perspectium Integration Mesh.

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      password: password123
vhost

 Your virtual space (vhost) in the Perspectium Integration Mesh. This value will generally be provided to you by Perspectium Support.

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      vhost: /
exclusivetrue

Sets the meshlet to be the exclusive consumer of messages in the queue specified in the below perspectium.message.inboundQueue configuration. When this value is true, any other meshlet that tries to connect to the queue will be denied access until this meshlet is no longer connected. Using this value as true prevents other meshlets (such as a test or dev meshlet) from consuming messages on accident.

This can also be useful for high availability when you are running two meshlets at once. The first meshlet ran will continue to access and consume the queue while the second meshlet will continually retry every 30 seconds. If the first meshlet should die and lose connection, then the second meshlet will start connecting to consume messages.

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      exclusive: true

ssl:

   enabled


false

Enables a secure connection over AMQPS (SSL) to RabbitMQ. The spring.rabbitmq.port configuration above will also need to be an AMQPS port that accepts secure connections. 

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      ssl: 
         enabled: true



Perspectium - Message Configuration

To configure Perspectium-related properties including which queues to connect to in the Integration Mesh, you will need to include the following configurations under perspectium.message: 

KeyDefault ValueDescription

inboundQueue


Represents the queue in the Integration Mesh that the meshlet will consume messages from.

perspectium: 
   message:
      inboundQueue: psp.in.meshlet.servicenow.incident.psp_demo

Queues are generally in the following format:

DataSync:

psp.in.meshlet.<application>.<customer/key>

Example: psp.in.meshlet.servicenow.psp_demo.

ServiceBond:

psp.in.meshlet.<application>.<process>.<customer/key>

Example: psp.in.meshlet.servicenow.incident.psp_demo.

For more information on how to name your queues, contact Perspectium Support.

outboundQueue

Represents the queue in the Integration Mesh that the meshlet will be publishing messages to. This is normally a ServiceNow instance, such as another application that is being integrated with ServiceNow sending messages (records) to the instance. 

perspectium: 
   message:
      inboundQueue: psp.out.servicenow.dev123456
wrapCDATAfalse

Enabling this configuration will wrap all outbound message fields in a CDATA section. This is useful for when you have a ServiceBond integration with an API that receives XML payloads.

perspectium: 
   message:
      wrapCDATA: false



Example of a meshlet configuration yaml file

The example below shows a basic configuration of the meshlet configuration yaml file (i.e. application.yml or application-dev.yml).

spring:
   rabbitmq:
      host: localhost
      port: 5672
      username: georvioloan
      password: password123
      vhost: /
      exclusive: false
perspectium:
   message:
      inboundQueue: psp.in.meshlet.servicenow.incident.psp_demo
      outboundQueue: psp.out.servicenow.dev123456
      wrapCDATA: false
