Configuration

Replicator configuration file explained.

Replicator uses a configuration file in YAML format. The file must be called appsettings.yaml and located in the config subdirectory, relative to the tool working directory.

The settings file has the replicator root level, all settings are children to that root. It allows using the same format for the values override file when using Helm.

Available configuration options are:

Option Description
replicator.reader.connectionString Connection string for the source cluster or instance
replicator.reader.protocol Reader protocol (tcp or grpc)
replicator.reader.pageSize Reader page size (only applicable for TCP protocol
replicator.sink.connectionString Connection string for the target cluster or instance
replicator.sink.protocol Writer protocol (tcp or grpc)
replicator.sink.partitionCount Number of partitioned concurrent writers
replicator.sink.partitioner Custom JavaScript partitioner
replicator.sink.bufferSize Size of the sink buffer, 1000 events by default
replicator.scavenge Enable real-time scavenge
replicator.runContinuously Set to false if you want Replicator to stop when it reaches the end of $all stream. Default is true, so the replication continues until you stop it explicitly.
replicator.filters Add one or more of provided filters
replicator.transform Configure the event transformation
replicator.transform.bufferSize Size of the prepare buffer (filtering and transformations), 1000 events by default

Enable verbose logging

You can enable debug-level logging by setting the REPLICATOR_DEBUG environment variable to any value.

Example configuration

The following example configuration will instruct Replicator to read all the events from a local cluster with three nodes (es1.acme.org, es2.acme.org and es3.acme.org) using TCP protocol, and copy them over to the Event Store Cloud cluster with cluster ID c2etr1lo9aeu6ojco781 using gRPC protocol. Replicator will also call an HTTP transformation function at https://my.acme.org/transform.

The global order of events will be the same, as partitionCount is set to one.

Scavenge filter is disabled, so Replicator will also copy deleted events, which haven’t been scavenged by the server yet.
