Hi all,

When I run tyk-gateway with dashboard=1 option I’m getting the following error:

[May 23 17:41:03] INFO main: Setting up analytics normaliser

This could have a significant negative impact on performance.

I setup tyk-gateway to start with the following settings:

sudo /opt/tyk-gateway/install/setup.sh --dashboard=1 --listenport=8080 --redishost=localhost --redisport=6379

Did anyone have the same problem?

Script by default assume that your dash running on http://localhost:3000

setup.sh in general just generate config for you, ensure that generate tyk.conf points to valid address of already running dashboard.

Hope it helps.

Hi Leon,

I actually found that the problem was in tyk-analytics.conf. The hostname parameter was set to http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. It seems that the setup.sh script didn’t change this by itself. So I set this to my correct hostname and now it’s working.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
