Enabling the OpsCenter Performance Service
Enabling each performance object also enables its default configuration.
About this task
Enable the OpsCenter Performance Service. Enabling each performance object also enables its default configuration. Disabling the OpsCenter Performance Service is recommended during peak production time.
The Slow Query Log is enabled by default in the OpsCenter Performance Service based on the default settings in DataStax Enterprise (DSE). |
Prerequisites
When enabling or disabling the OpsCenter Performance Service, the JMX
interface is used to immediately toggle the Service.
This behavior is the same as when using the dsetool perf command to temporarily change the running parameters for the DSE Performance Service.
For clusters not managed using Lifecycle Manager (LCM), OpsCenter programmatically sets a value in dse.yaml, which causes the file to lose comments and formatting.
If there are comments and formatting you want to retain or refer to later, back up the dse.yaml
file for safekeeping.
If a cluster is being managed within LCM, OpsCenter does not automatically modify dse.yaml for the Performance Service. You must manually update the associated settings in the configuration profile for the cluster in Lifecycle Manager. |
Procedure
-
Select cluster name > Services.
-
Select Configure or Details for the Performance Service.
The Overview page prompts you to enable metrics.
-
Click the Enable metrics link to view performance data.
The Settings tab appears where you can enable and configure the performance objects.
-
Click the toggle in the Status column to On for the performance objects you want to enable.
The performance objects can be turned on and used independently. Turning on a performance service object enables the associated settings in the
dse.yaml
file.A dialog prompts you to confirm. Toggling performance objects from
off
toon
has the following effect:Clusters not managed using LCM
For clusters not managed using LCM, changes are pushed to
dse.yaml
on every node, which overwrites any comments or formatting in thedse.yaml
file. To retain your original dse.yaml, make a backup of the file as mentioned in the prerequisites section.Clusters managed using LCM
For clusters managed using LCM, you must manually update any configuration profiles to persist changes to
dse.yaml
related to the performance service. See Editing a configuration profile. -
Click Change to proceed.
No further configuration is required; however, you can adjust the default configuration parameters:
