Configuring Insight 5 on Linux

Certain settings used by Insight 5 can be changed by editing the appropriate files.

Configuration files for the Insight 5 Server and Worker can be found in two locations.

• Server - /etc/fico-xpress-insight-server/
• Worker - /etc/fico-xpress-insight-worker/

The files are detailed below.

File	Description
application.properties	Contains application-level properties such as the port to run the application on and logging configuration.
application.properties.default	This file should not be edited, but may be used to restore default configuration options. Important: Modifications to this file will be overwritten when Insight is updated.
environment	Contains service-level properties such as the ability to override the Java that the application should use.

Updating the Server Settings

To update the Server settings, perform the following steps:

1. Locate the relevant file at /etc/fico-xpress-insight-server/
2. Un-comment any applicable property, set a value and save your changes
3. Restart the service using the following command:

   systemctl restart fico-xpress-insight-server

Updating the Worker Settings

To update the Worker settings, perform the following steps:

1. Locate the relevant file at /etc/fico-xpress-insight-worker/.
2. Un-comment any applicable property, set a value and save your changes.
3. Restart the service using the following command:

   systemctl restart fico-xpress-insight-worker

Configuring Execution Authentication

Xpress Insight 5 uses a certificate to authenticate job execution.

• An Insight 5 worker will only authenticate requests from a specific server.
• An Insight 5 Server will only execute jobs on trusted Workers.

If all Workers are installed on the same machine as the Server and have been installed after the Server, this authentication is automatically configured by the installer. If this is the case, the installer will output confirmation text, and no manual configuration is necessary.

If the Worker is not on the same machine or was installed before the Server, you will need to configure this trust by performing the following steps:

1. Navigate to the Insight 5 Server installation folder, then copy the execution certificate from the following location:

   /etc/fico-xpress-insight-server/insight-execution-jwt.cert

2. Navigate to the Insight 5 Worker installation folder, and paste the insight-execution-jwt.cert file to one of the two following locations. Use either :
   • the default location of /etc/fico-xpress-insight-worker/insight-execution-jwt.cert.
   • any custom location, then must be added in /etc/fico-xpress-insight-worker/application.properties under the General section
3. Restart the Insight Worker for the changes to take effect by opening a terminal window and using the following command:

   systemctl restart fico-xpress-insight-worker
