Configure the advanced parameters for Analytics
Advanced configuration for Analytics engines
Objective
Analytics engines are managed services, which means that they are not fully configurable. For example, it is not possible to modify pg_hba.conf.
Advanced configuration is available for the following Analytics engines :
- Managed Dashboards (Grafana)
- Kafka
- Kafka Connect
- OpenSearch
Requirements
- A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
- An analytics service running on your OVHcloud Analytics (this guide can help you to meet this requirement)
- Access to your or to the
OVHcloud Control Panel Access
- Direct link:
- Navigation path:
Public Cloud> Select your project >Analytics
Instructions
Please note that changes to the advanced settings apply at the cluster level and therefore to all the analytics services in the cluster.
Depending on the engine, some settings may already be defined.
Once the advanced configuration has been submitted, it is not possible to reset it to initial values. It is only possible to update the values, so we recommend that you take note of the initial values before changing them.
To verify the values you submitted, see the Get the existing advanced configuration section below.
Using the OVHcloud Control Panel
Select your engine instance, then the Advanced configuration tab.
Select the key of the advanced setting you want to define, then set its value.
When ready, click on Update advanced configuration.
On the top-right of the advanced configuration tab, you can see the settings which are already defined.
