Configuration Changes

Move the Vertica stanza to the root level in the configuration files on all nodes as detailed below.

Multiple stanzas in the root must be separated by commas. For example, in the webhooks-api version, a Cassandra stanza follows the Application stanza, so you will need to add a comma to the Vertica sub-stanza getting moved. This will help preserve the proper json formatting.

1. Open a file editor on the first Analytics node .

   % shopt -s extglob
   vim -o /opt/msys/app/+(metrics|webhooks)-api/config/production.json
   

2. Configure the /opt/msys/app/<metrics and webhooks>-api/config/production.json file.

   {
     "application":{
       "vertica": {  //from here
           // stuff, probably hosts
       } //to here
     },
   
     //put it here
     "vertica": {
        // stuff, probably hosts
     }
   }
   

3. The application stanza ("application": { }) is now empty and may be deleted. Save the file and exit the file editor.

4. Open a file editor on the first Platform node .

   vim /opt/msys/app/metrics-etl/config/production.json

5. Update or verify the /opt/msys/app/metrics-etl/config/production.json file by copying the root -> application -> vertica stanza to root -> vertica.

   {
     "application":{
       "vertica": {  //from here
           // stuff, probably hosts
       } //to here
     },
   
     //put it here
     "vertica": {
        // stuff, probably hosts
     }
   

6. The application stanza ("application": { }) is now empty and may be deleted. Save the file and exit the file editor.

7. SCP the Analytics changes to the other Analytics nodes . See below for an example scp command:

   scp –p /opt/msys/app/webhooks-api/config/production.json {nodename or IP}:/opt/msys/app/webhooks-api/config/production.json
   scp –p /opt/msys/app/metrics-api/config/production.json {nodename or IP}:/opt/msys/app/metrics-api/config/production.json
   

8. SCP the Platform changes to the other Platform nodes . See below for an example scp command:

   scp –p /opt/msys/app/metrics-etl/config/production.json {nodename or IP}:/opt/msys/app/metrics-etl/config/production.json
