# Add Indexer Configuration
## Overview
The indexer is designed to perform all the indexing tasks of the DIGIT platform. The service reads records posted on specific Kafka topics and picks the corresponding index configuration from the yaml file provided by the respective module configuration. Configurations are yaml based. A detailed guide to creating indexer configs is mentioned in the following document - [Indexer Configuration Guide](/platform/platform/api-specifications/indexer.md).
## Steps
1. Create a new file under `egov-indexer` in `configs` repo by the name of `digit-developer-guide.yml` and place the below content into it -
```yaml
ServiceMaps:
serviceName: Birth Registration Service
version: 1.0.0
mappings:
- topic: save-bt-application
configKey: INDEX
indexes:
- name: btindex-v1
type: _doc
id: $.id
isBulk: true
timeStampField: $.auditDetails.createdTime
jsonPath: $.BirthRegistrationApplications
customJsonMapping:
indexMapping: {"Data":{"birthapplication":{},"history":{}}}
fieldMapping:
- inJsonPath: $
outJsonPath: $.Data.birthapplication
externalUriMapping:
- path: http://localhost:8282/egov-workflow-v2/egov-wf/process/_search
queryParam: businessIds=$.applicationNumber,history=true,tenantId=$.tenantId
apiRequest: {"RequestInfo":{"apiId":"org.egov.pt","ver":"1.0","ts":1502890899493,"action":"asd","did":"4354648646","key":"xyz","msgId":"654654","requesterId":"61","authToken":"d9994555-7656-4a67-ab3a-a952a0d4dfc8","userInfo":{"id":1,"uuid":"1fec8102-0e02-4d0a-b283-cd80d5dab067","type":"EMPLOYEE","tenantId":"pb.amritsar","roles":[{"name":"Employee","code":"EMPLOYEE","tenantId":"pb.amritsar"}]}}}
uriResponseMapping:
- inJsonPath: $.ProcessInstances
outJsonPath: $.Data.history
- topic: update-bt-application
configKey: INDEX
indexes:
- name: btindex-v1
type: general
id: $.id
isBulk: true
timeStampField: $.auditDetails.createdTime
jsonPath: $.BirthRegistrationApplications
customJsonMapping:
indexMapping: {"Data":{"birthapplication":{},"history":{}}}
fieldMapping:
- inJsonPath: $
outJsonPath: $.Data.birthapplication
externalUriMapping:
- path: http://egov-workflow-v2.egov:8080/egov-workflow-v2/egov-wf/process/_search
queryParam: businessIds=$.applicationNumber,history=true,tenantId=$.tenantId
apiRequest: {"RequestInfo":{"apiId":"org.egov.pt","ver":"1.0","ts":1502890899493,"action":"asd","did":"4354648646","key":"xyz","msgId":"654654","requesterId":"61","authToken":"d9994555-7656-4a67-ab3a-a952a0d4dfc8","userInfo":{"id":1,"uuid":"1fec8102-0e02-4d0a-b283-cd80d5dab067","type":"EMPLOYEE","tenantId":"pb.amritsar","roles":[{"name":"Employee","code":"EMPLOYEE","tenantId":"pb.amritsar"}]}}}
uriResponseMapping:
- inJsonPath: $.ProcessInstances
outJsonPath: $.Data.history
```
**Note: Follow the steps below when the code is deployed to the DIGIT environment. These steps are not applicable for deployment in the local environment. You may choose to follow these when you build and deploy.**
### Indexer Configuration Deployment
2. Navigate to the forked DIGIT-DevOps repository. Under the `deploy-as-code/helm/environments` directory, find the deployment helm chart that was used to deploy DIGIT.
3. In the deployment helm chart (which was used to set up the DIGIT environment), find "egov-indexer". Find the "egov-indexer-yaml-repo-path" property and add the path to your new indexer file here. The code block is shown below for reference:
```
egov-indexer:
replicas: 1
images:
- egovio/egov-indexer
db_migration_image: egovio/egov-indexer-db
initContainers:
gitSync:
repo: "git@github.com:egovernments/configs"
branch: "DEV"
egov-indexer-yaml-repo-path: "file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/privacy-audit.yaml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/billingservices-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/collection-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-telemetry-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-uploader-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/error-queue.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/finance-rolloutadotpion-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/payment-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/pgr-services.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/rainmaker-pgr-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/rainmaker-pt-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/rainmaker-tl-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/chatbot-telemetry.yaml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/water-service.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/water-services-meter.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/sewerage-service.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/property-services.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/chatbot-telemetry-v2.yaml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-fsm.yaml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-vehicle.yaml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-vendor.yaml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-url-shortening-indexer.yaml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/fire-noc-service.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-echallan.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/egov-bpa-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/edcr-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/rainmaker-birth-indexer.yml,file:///work-dir/configs/egov-indexer/rainmaker-death-indexer.yml"
```
4. Raise a PR to the DevOps branch which was forked/used to create the deployment. Once that is merged, restart the indexer service and make sure the cluster configs are propagated.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.digit.org/platform/guides/developer-guide/backend-developer-guide/section-5-other-advanced-integrations/add-indexer-configuration.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
