Compare yaml files

cluster_check and yaml_diff compare the differences between cassandra.yaml or dse.yaml files.

dse.yaml

The location of the dse.yaml file depends on the type of installation:
Package installations /etc/dse/dse.yaml
Tarball installations installation_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml

cassandra.yaml

The location of the cassandra.yaml file depends on the type of installation:
Package installations /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml
Tarball installations installation_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml

These tools compare the differences between specified or cluster-wide cassandra.yaml or dse.yaml files. This check is particularly useful during upgrades.

Before comparing the yaml files, install PyYAML:
sudo pip install pyyaml
