Configure Mideye with application-prod.yml

The Mideye Server uses a YAML file called application-prod.yml to store its configuration. This file contains values such as database connection strings, server ports, JWT token validity, and feature toggles.

Database Configuration

For detailed database configuration instructions, examples, and troubleshooting, see Database Configuration.

Example configuration file

Below is a complete example of application-prod.yml:

# ===================================================================
# Spring Boot configuration for the "prod" profile.
#
# This configuration overrides the application.yml file.
# ===================================================================

spring:
    devtools:
        restart:
            enabled: false
        livereload:
            enabled: false
    datasource:
        type: com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource
        # PLEASE NOTE:
        # The database password must always be enclosed in single quotes (').
        # If your password contains single quotes, double them:
        # e.g., Pass''word123 for the password Pass'word123

Changing the web admin port

The port is normally assigned during installation, but can be changed afterward.

1. Open application-prod.yml:

   • Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mideye Server 6\config\application-prod.yml
   • Linux: /opt/mideyeserver6/config/application-prod.yml

2. Find the server section and change the port value:

server:
    port: 443
    ssl:
        key-store: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mideye Server 6\config\keystore.pfx
        key-store-password: "your-password"
        enabled: true
        key-alias: webadmin

3. Restart the Mideye Server service.

Enable the Self-Service Portal

The Self-Service Portal is disabled by default. To enable it, add use-self-service-portal: true to the application section:

application:
    switch-host: primary.mideye.com
    switch-backup-host: secondary.mideye.com
    switch-port: 202207
    log-path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mideye Server 6\log
    use-self-service-portal: true

Restart the Mideye Server service for the change to take effect.

SSL certificate configuration

To enable SSL, generate a certificate:

keytool -genkey -alias mideyeserver -storetype PKCS12 -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore keystore.p12 -validity 3650

Then configure the server.ssl section accordingly. For detailed certificate management, see Certificate Management.

Server information transmission

Starting with Mideye Server 6.2, the server automatically sends its information to the Mideye Switch.

To control this feature, add the following under the application section:

application:
    switch-host: primary.mideye.com
    switch-backup-host: secondary.mideye.com
    switch-port: 202207
    log-path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mideye Server 6\log
    server-info:
        enabled: true
        include-database-info: false
