Configurable sub elements
| Element Name | Description | Type | Default Value | Fixed Values | Mandatory/Optional | Notes |
|---|
| <nodeID> | In a clustered deployment, a ID is assigned to each MB node via the cluster node identifier. This element can be used to override the cluster node identifier for this MB node. If the value for this element is left as default, the default node ID is generated using the IP (Internet Protocol) and UUID). | String | default | N/A | Mandatory | The node ID of each member in a cluster should be unique. |

In each MB node of a cluster, the value for this property (thrift server host) should be the IP address of that respective node. Note: One of the nodes in an MB cluster will be used as the coordinating MB node at server startup. The Thrift server configured for the coordinating MB node will serve as the central Thrift server, which will be used by all nodes in the cluster to consume thrift services. The coordinating MB node may switch to another node in the cluster in case the current coordinator becomes unavailable. | String | localhost | N/A | Mandatory |
|
|
| <thriftServerPort> | This should point to the port of the Apache Thrift server in WSO2 MB. | String | 7611 | N/A | Mandatory |

| <thriftSOTimeout> | This is used to handle half-open TCP connections between the broker nodes in a cluster. In such situations, the socket may need to have a timeout value to invalidate the connection. (in milliseconds). A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout. | Integer | 0 | N/A | Optional |
|
<transports>
This element contains all the messaging transports used by WSO2 MB. These messaging transports can be enabled/disabled as required. All the transports are enabled by default. This element also contains configuration parameters that enable you to customise the logical aspects of the message flows used within WSO2 MB.

The connection is rejected if no credentials are provided by the client or if the credentials sent are not valid. | Boolean | OPTIONAL | Yes |

| | | | |
|
|
|
|
|
| <slotRetainTimeInMemory> | The maximum time duration for which a slot can be retained in memory. Once the time specified in this parameter elapses, the messages in the slot are updated to the coordinator node in the cluster. | Integer | 1000 |
|

| | |
|
|
|
| <windowCreationTimeout> | This parameter defines the timeout for the slot window creation task. In a slow message publishing scenario, this parameter accounts for the delay in the delivery of each message. e.g., If one message is published per minute, then each message will be delivered only after they are submitted to the slot coordinator once this timeout has taken place. |

4096 | | | | 4096 |
|

| | |
|
|
|
| <parallelDeliveryHandlers> | The number of parallel delivery handlers used to send messages to subscribers. Increasing this value will increase the speed of the message sending mechanism. However, it would also cause the load on the data store to increase. | Integer | 5 |

| | | | |
|
|
|
|

This number should be specified considering the message consumption rate. | Integer | 1000 |
| | |
|
|
|
| <ackHandlerBatchSize> | The maximum batch size of the acknowledgement handler. Andes processes acknowledgements in batches using Disruptor.

| <maxContentChunkSize> | The maximum column size for a content chuck handler. | Integer | 65500 |
| | |
|
|
|

| | | |
|
|
|
|
|
| <parallelMessageWriters> | The number of parallel writers used to write content to the message store. Increasing this value will increase the speed of the message receiving mechanism. However, it would also cause the load on the data store to increase. | Integer | 1 |
| | |
|
|
|
| <bufferSize> | The size of the Disruptor ring buffer for inbound event handling. Increasing the buffer size is recommended when there is an increased rate of publishing. In such situations, the messages can be stored in the memory. | Integer | 65536 |
|
|
| The buffer size should be an even number. |
| <messageWriterBatchSize> | The maximum batch size of the batch write operation for inbound messages. MB internals use Disruptor to batch events. Hence this batch size is set to avoid database requests with a high load (i.e. with large batch sizes) to write messages. This should to be configured in high throughput messaging scenarios to regulate the load on the database from MB. | Integer | 70 |
| | |
|
|
|
| <purgedCountTimeout> | The number of milliseconds to wait for a queue to complete a purge event in order to update the purge count. If the time specified here elapses before the queue completes the purge event, the purge count will not be updated to include the event.

| |
|
|
|
| <transactionMessageWriters> | The number of parallel writers used to write content to the message store for transaction based publishing. Increasing the value for this parameter reduces the time taken to commit a transaction, but the load on the data store would also increase. | Integer | 1 |

| | | |
|
|
|
|
|
| <contentRemovalTaskInterval> | The task interval for the content removal task which will remove the actual message content from the store in the background. If the message rate is very high, this can be set to a lower value to minimise the number of delete requests per task. | Integer | 3 |
|
|
| This value is specified in seconds. |
| <topicMatching> | The method used for topic matching. If SIMPLE is selected, the default selector mechanism will be used. Alternatively, you can select BitMaps. BitMaps is more suitable when using topics and subscriptions in large quantity since it is faster. | Boolean | SIMPLE | SIMPLE/BitMaps |

| | |
|
|
|
| <maximumMessageDisplayLength> | The maximum number of characters in a message that should be displayed in the Management Console when browsing queues. If the number of characters in a message exceeds the value specified for this parameter, the truncated message content will be displayed with the text message content too large to display. Increasing this value can cause delays when viewing the message content in the Management Console. | Integer | 100000 |
| | <flowControl>
This element contains parameters relating to the message flow control.
| Element Name | Description | Type | Default Value | Fixed Values | Mandatory/Optional | Notes |

| | | |
|
|
|
|
|

Having a small difference between the lower and higher limits will lead to frequent enabling and disabling of flow control, causing the message publishing rate to be reduced. | Integer | 800 |
| | |
|
|
|
| The total maximum number of message content chunks that should be stored in the buffer. When this limit is reached, flow control is enabled.

| | |
|
|
|
| The maximum number of message content chunks that should be stored in buffer per publisher. When this limit is reached, flow control is enabled for the relevant publisher.

| | |
|
|
