OpsCenter daemon (opscenterd) SSL configuration options

SSL configuration options available in opscenterd.conf:

  • [agents] agent_certfile

    The location of the certfile sent to the DataStax Agents when using SSL communication between OpsCenter and the DataStax Agents. The default location is /var/lib/opscenter/ssl/agentKeyStore.der for package installations and install_location/ssl/agentKeyStore.der for tarball installations.

  • [agents] agent_keyfile

    The location of the keyfile sent to the DataStax Agents when using SSL communication between OpsCenter and the DataStax Agents. The default location is /var/lib/opscenter/ssl/agentKeyStore for package installations and install_location/ssl/agentKeyStore for tarball installations.

    Do not use the agent_keyfile when manually generating and deploying keys.

  • [agents] agent_keyfile_raw

    The raw keystore file stored in the Java keystore from agent_keyfile. This parameter is required only when configuring high availability, so that the secondary OpsCenter instance can communicate with the primary OpsCenter instance. The failover opscenterd processes on the secondary OpsCenter instance use this key to establish a STOMP connection to the primary opscenterd instance.

  • [agents] ssl_certfile

    The location of the SSL certificate used for SSL traffic between OpsCenter and the DataStax Agents. The default location is /var/lib/opscenter/ssl/opscenter.der for package installations and install_location/ssl/opscenter.der for tarball installations.

  • [agents] ssl_keyfile

    The location of the SSL key file used for SSL traffic between OpsCenter and the DataStax Agents. The default location is /var/lib/opscenter/ssl/opscenter.key for package installations and install_location/ssl/opscenter.key for tarball installations.

  • [agents] use_ssl

    Specifies whether traffic between OpsCenter and the DataStax Agents should use SSL. The default value is False.

  • [webserver] ssl_certfile

    The location where the SSL certificate resides. This option requires ssl_keyfile and optionally ssl_port to also be set.

  • [webserver] ssl_keyfile

    The location where the SSL keyfile resides. This option requires ssl_certfile and optionally ssl_port to also be set.

  • [webserver] ssl_port

    The port on which to serve SSL traffic. The default port is 8443.

Agent configuration options

SSL configuration options available for agents in address.yaml:

  • monitored_ssl_keystore

  • monitored_ssl_keystore_password

    The SSL keystore password for the monitored cluster that agents use to connect to CQL. Example: monitored_ssl_keystore_password: keystore-pass [This field may be encrypted for additional security.]

  • monitored_ssl_truststore

    The SSL truststore location for the monitored cluster that agents use to connect to CQL. Example: monitored_ssl_truststore: /etc/dse/conf/.truststore

  • monitored_ssl_truststore_password

    The SSL truststore password for the monitored cluster that agents use to connect to CQL. Example: monitored_ssl_truststore_password: truststore-pass [This field may be encrypted for additional security.]

  • opscenter_ssl_keystore

    The SSL keystore location that the DataStax Agents use to connect to opscenterd. Example: opscenter_ssl_keystore: /etc/opscenter/conf/.keystore

  • opscenter_ssl_keystore_password

    The SSL keystore password that the agents use to connect to opscenterd. Example: opscenter_ssl_keystore_password: keystore-pass [This field may be encrypted for additional security.]

  • opscenter_ssl_truststore

  • opscenter_ssl_strict_subject_validation

    Instructs the agent to reject certificates from opscenterd when the certificate subject does not match the server’s ip. This option is false by default, which means the agent attempts subject validation first. If that fails, the agent logs a warning and retries the connection without subject validation. In a later version of OpsCenter, the default will change to true. Example: opscenter_ssl_strict_subject_validation: true

  • use_ssl

    Whether or not to use SSL communication between the agent and opscenterd. Affects both the STOMP connection and the agent HTTP server. Corresponds to [agents].use_ssl in opscenterd.conf. Setting this option to true turns on SSL connections. Example: use_ssl: true
