Configuration files

Configure capabilities by manually modifying the opscenterd.conf, cluster_name.conf, and address.yaml configuration files.

Configure capabilities by manually modifying the opscenterd.conf, cluster_name.conf, and address.yaml configuration files.

Note: The OpsCenter console is the most convenient way to configure basic OpsCenter settings.
  • opscenterd.conf: configures the properties of the OpsCenter daemon.
  • cluster_name.conf: configures properties for each cluster monitored by OpsCenter. OpsCenter creates the cluster_name.conf file when you add a cluster to OpsCenter.
  • address.yaml: configure the properties for the DataStax agent. You can set most of these properties in the [agent_config] section of cluster_name.conf on the opscenterd machine and the properties propagate automatically to all agents.

cluster_name.conf 

The location of the cluster_name.conf file depends on the type of installation:

  • Package installations: /etc/opscenter/clusters/cluster_name.conf
  • Tarball installations: install_location/conf/clusters/cluster_name.conf
  • Windows installations: Program Files (x86)\DataStax Community\opscenter\conf\clusters\cluster_name.conf

opscenterd.conf 

The location of the opscenterd.conf file depends on the type of installation:

Location Package Installer (GUI or text mode) Tarball
Service No-service
/etc/opscenter/opscenterd.conf X X    
install_location/conf/opscenterd.conf     X X

address.yaml 

The location of the address.yaml file depends on the type of installation:

  • Package installations: /var/lib/datastax-agent/conf/address.yaml
  • Tarball installations: install_location/conf/address.yaml
