Set Up the GE Digital APM Server - Medium Cache Configuration

GE Digital APM Servers are set up either using a medium cache configuration or a high availability configuration.

Note: In a standard deployment, the Redis server is on the same system as the GE Digital APM Server.

Steps

To configure GE Digital APM servers using medium cache configuration:

On the GE Digital APM Server machine, navigate to the folder C:\ProgramData\Meridium.
Open the file MeridiumAppSettings.xml in an application that you can use to modify XML script.
Within the <Cache Service> tag, make changes to the following Redis-specific settings.
- The cacheType value should equal "redis".
  Note: The cacheType value “redis” is supported for any customer implementations.
- The default value for cacheServiceUrl is "localhost". If Redis is configured on different server using a non-default port, values should contain a comma separated set of values.
- The default value for cacheTimeout is 1 day, or 1440 minutes.

Note: The system will first check whether these settings are configured in the executable or web config file and, if they are not, it will then load them from the MeridiumAppSettings.xml file. GE Digital’s recommendation is to use the MeridiumAppSettings.xml file to ensure consistency across the installation and to give you the ability to change the settings for all of the services and websites in one place per server.
