titlePeering Constants Descriptions and Syntax...

PEERINGDB_USERNAME

define('PEERINGDB_USERNAME', 'username');

Default value: none

The username for the account used to connect to the PeeringDB API

Instead of saving the username and password in the database, the values can be hard coded into globals.php

PEERINGDB_PASSWORD

define('PEERINGDB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');

Default value: none

The password for the account used to connect to the PeeringDB API

PEERINGDB_URL

define('PEERINGDB_URL', 'https://www.peeringdb.com/api/');


Default value: https://www.peeringdb.com/api/

The URL of the PeeringDB API. Alternate value: https://beta.peeringdb.com/api/

Info
titleNote: PeeringDB URL Change - (Affects only v8.0.1 and earlier)

Previous versions of PeeringDB allowed authenticated requests to https://peeringdb.com/api/. As of March 2022, PEERINGDB_URL must be set to https://www.peeringdb.com/api/ for authenticated requests to succeed.

Customers updated to v8.0.2 and later do not need to take any action and are not affected.

Local customers using versions 8.0.1 or earlier, and who are using Peering (or wish to start using Peering), should perform the following update(s) as applicable to their situation:


A) Existing local customers who already have their peeringdb account details saved in Provision should update PEERINGDB_URL in globals.php to:   

Code Block
define('PEERINGDB_URL', 'https://www.peeringdb.com/api/');


B) Customers who wish to begin using Peering (thus, do not already have saved peeringdb account details) will not be able to add their account via the GUI prior to v8.0.2. An attempt to do so will fail the "valid account test", which uses a hardcoded string value.

Instead, affected users must do both of the following:

B1) Save peeringdb account details using the API:

Code Block
https://[your$your instance]/APIv2/spec.php?family=peering#/default/save_account

B2) Update PEERINGDB_URL in globals.php to:

Code Block
define('PEERINGDB_URL', 'https://www.peeringdb.com/api/');



PEERINGDB_CACHE_TTL

define('PEERINGDB_CACHE_TTL', 43200);

Default value: 43200 (12 hours)

How often (in seconds) to purge the cached PeeringDB API calls. If a customer wants real time access, this can be set to 0. 

If experiencing major lag issues with real time access, it is recommended to increase to increase the cache TTL from 0 to 5, 10, or 15 minutes.
