Configure DataStax Studio

Studio is a desktop application that automatically saves your work. The default configuration doesn’t typically require adjustments. However, you can configure different aspects of how Studio runs, including changing the httpBindAddress.

Changing the httpBindAddress setting from the default (localhost) can pose a security risk as users on external machines can gain access to Studio notebooks and the data in the DSE clusters to which those notebooks are connected. Distributed deployment introduces potential security risks.

To change configuration settings, do the following:

  1. Stop Studio if it is running.

  2. Open the configuration.yaml file in a text editor.

    You can change the basic settings already present in the file, or add advanced configuration options.

  3. Save the file.

  4. Restart Studio to apply the changes.

To change JVM settings, see Specify JVM settings for DataStax Studio.
