Change the replication strategy for the OpsCenter keyspace

Using the NetworkTopologyStrategy replication is recommended for the OpsCenter keyspace when running OpsCenter in a multi-datacenter environment.

If the keyspace isn’t already using this strategy, a message appears in OpsCenter prompting you to change the keyspace to use NetworkTopologyStrategy.

  1. If the OpsCenter keyspace warning is visible in OpsCenter, expand the warning, and then click Edit the keyspace here.

  2. Change the strategy from SimpleStrategy to NetworkTopologyStrategy.

    Edit Keyspace dialog

  3. Enter the datacenters and replication factor for each datacenter. Click Add Datacenter to add more datacenters.

  4. Set the durable_writes option to True (recommended) or False (default).

    Be careful when setting the durable writes option. When set to False, data written to the keyspace bypasses the commit log, which could cause data loss.

  5. Click Save Keyspace.
