Customizing configuration profile files
About this task
Define configuration profiles to specify how DataStax Enterprise (DSE) will be configured. A configuration profile enforces uniform configuration at the cluster, datacenter, or node level.
Each configuration profile is specific to a supported version of DSE. A configuration profile is composed of multiple configuration files for configuring features of DSE clusters.
Configuration profiles allow customizing settings for the following DSE Configuration profile files.
| Filename | Location dependent on the type of installation |
|---|---|
cassandra-env.sh |
|
cassandra.yaml |
|
dse.yaml |
|
Procedure
-
From the Lifecycle Manager side menu, click Config Profiles.
-
Under Config Profile, click the file to customize.

-
Enter a value or make a selection for the option you want to customize.
-
When finished customizing options, click Save to apply the changes.
-
Run a configuration job to push configuration profile updates and apply them at the cluster, datacenter, or node level.

When you add a configuration profile, DSE authentication is enabled by default for all supported versions of DSE. DSE Authenticator is enabled in dse.yaml. For more information, see Managing DSE Security using LCM. |
Every configuration option in cassandra.yaml and dse.yaml is editable, while other configuration files use a template system that exposes only frequently used settings.
