MATRIXX Configuration
- About MATRIXX Configuration
  MATRIXX Configuration describes the tasks required to configure MATRIXX components.
- Configuring MATRIXX Using Helm
  Configure MATRIXX by adding values for properties from the MATRIXX Helm chart in your Helm values file. The MATRIXX Helm chart includes component sub-charts in a hierarchy of reusable components.
- Configuring MATRIXX Engine
  MATRIXX Engine configuration can be applied from a configuration source.
  - Apply MATRIXX Engine Configuration Changes
    Configuration of MATRIXX Engine is applied using a configuration source.
  - Configuring MATRIXX Engine for GL Records
    Configure MATRIXX Engine to capture and store General Ledger (GL) records.
  - Shared Memory Configuration
    Configure the /dev/shm shared memory size for engine pods in the your Helm values file.
- Configuring Traffic Routing Agent
  Traffic Routing Agent (TRA) configuration can be added to the deployment with a configuration source.
- Configuring Sub-Domain Routing (Multiple Sub-domains)
  In a MATRIXX environment where multiple customer sub-domains are implemented in separate engine chains, you configure sub-domain routing so that traffic is directed to the correct customer sub-domain where the subscriber is homed. You must configure different components across MATRIXX for sub-domain routing to work.
- Example Single Domain Deployments
  Example configurations are provided for single-engine, dual-engine, and dual-engine with Traffic Routing Agent in disaster recovery mode (TRA-DR) cloud native MATRIXX examples.
- Configuring MATRIXX Gateways and Web Apps
  In a non-containerized installation of MATRIXX, configure MATRIXX gateways and web apps using files in the /opt/mtx/conf directory in the pod(s) hosting those components. In a cloud native deployment, configuration files can be provided in the /opt/mtx/conf directory of the component container(s) using the following methods:
- Configuring CDR Processing
  The MATRIXX Engine can import and rate Solution42® call detail records (CDRs) and generate MATRIXX Event Detail Records (EDRs) from them. Generally, this is used only when integrating with an Oracle BRM system. Other projects should use external mediation to convert external CDRs into Diameter messages for MATRIXX processing.
- Configuration Input Settings
  In a cloud native MATRIXX installation, MATRIXX Engine configuration specified in the create_config.info file is applied with a configuration source. This file contains a list of the questions asked by the configuration script during the configuration process and the answers provided by the administrator. Each question sets a configuration parameter. The engine(s) are configured with these parameters with a helm upgrade command.

Configuring MATRIXX Engine

MATRIXX Engine configuration can be applied from a configuration source.

The image in this example is named example-engine-config-sideloader, but in practice you can select any name you want. The files to build the image are delivered in /kubernetes/example-engine-config-sideloader. The dockerfile consists of the following:

FROM your_image_repository/matrixx-sideloader: version-tag
 
# Add mtx engine and tra configuration files
COPY --chown=mtx:mtx config/* /config/

The kubernetes/example-engine-config-sideloader/config directory contains the MATRIXX configuration files:

asn1_dictionary_base_xml_sed.extra
ccf_create_config.info
diameter_dictionary_base_xml_sed.extra
mdc_create_config.info
mtx_process_control_cfg_sed.extra
resource_create_config.info

Important: The resource_create_config.info file is the default configuration file. The mdc_create_config.info file is empty by default. Edit the resource_create_config.info and mdc_create_config.info files as necessary to configure MATRIXX Engine, but do not change the file names.

To configure selective updates, if needed, create a selectiveupdate_create_config.info file. In general, the file naming pattern for create_config.info configuration files is type_create_config.info.
