Configuring and Monitoring Service Apps

Service Apps typically read there configuration from their oConfig.json file. The default setup provides such a sample file in res/oConfigNode.json. When building the service app, the file is copied into the dist folder, and renamed to oConfig.json.

tip

Parameters can be set either in the oConfig.json file, or on the command line parameter using the -- syntax. The two examples below are therefore equivalent:

  • oConfig.json syntax: "myparameter": "somevalue"
  • command line parameter: npm run serve:node -- myparameter=somevalue
ParameterSample valueDocumentation
sc.app01888abcd8e4e5fa301cThe tag of the Service App to be launched.
sc.productiontrue Set to true to enable some optimizations relevant in production. In particular, when true apps no longer subscribe to changes to the application graph (which is not supposed to happen in production).
sc.remoteactiontimeout20000The number of milliseconds after which a remote action will timeout. Increase this value if the Remote Actions have some slow processing.
defaultHostmyinstance.olympe.ioThe instance to connect to, with good default values for the server, bus and data parameters (see below for more details). For front-ends, the default value of defaultHost is the hostname of the URL, for backends, it is localhost.

The following parameters are available for advanced configurations, to override the defaultHost defaults.
