Analytics subsystem settings

Specify advanced configuration settings for the analytics subsystem directly in the analytics CR. If you are using Cloud Pak for Integration, you can configure many of the analytics setting in Platform UI.

In the Cloud Pak for Integration Platform UI you can specify settings for the following areas:

For annotations, labels, node selectors, and tolerations, see Additional Kubernetes settings

Analytics features such as offloading, filtering, and disabling ingestion, must be configured directly in the analytics CR YAML file: Analytics subsystem CR configured settings.

Backups

Table 1. Database backup
Field	Type	Required	Description
Backup chunk size in GB	Integer	No. Optional	`chunkSize` specifies how large files are stored. Large files can be stored as chunks when the snapshot is created. This setting specifies the size of the chunks as GB, MB, or KB. Default value is 1 GB. See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.
Credentials	String	No. Optional	The backup credential is the name of the Kubernetes secret that you created for accessing your S3-compatible storage. No default. See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.
Compress	Boolean: off or on	No. Optional	Determines whether metadata files are stored in compressed format. Default value is false (off). See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.
Enable server-side encryption	Boolean: off or on	No Optional	Determines whether files are encrypted. When set to true (on), files are encrypted on the server side by using AES256. Default is false (off). See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.
Analytics server hostname	String	No. Optional	The URL to your S3 storage. No default. See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.
Backup Path	String	No. Optional	The path to your S3 storage at the URL specified by Analytics server hostname.host. No default. See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.
Schedule cron expression	String	No. Optional	The schedule that determines how often backups are run automatically. The format for the schedule is any valid `cron` string. Default: "/20 * * *" See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.

Storage type, class, and size

Table 2. Storage type, class, and size settings
Field	Type	Required	Description
Master storage class	String	Yes	If you specified dedicated storage, the master storage class is the storage class that is used by your `storage-os-master` pods. Select from the drop down. Local-volume storage is recommended for best performance. If none selected, the default storage class of your cluster is used. See Planning the analytics profile, storage class, and storage type.
Shared storage class	String	Yes	The storage class used by your analytics `storage` pods. Select from the drop down. Local-volume storage is recommended for best performance. If none selected, the default storage class of your cluster is used. See Planning the analytics profile, storage class, and storage type.
Master volume size	Integer > 0	No	If you specified dedicated storage, then master volume size specifies the disk storage that is allocated to your `storage-os-master` pods. The `storage-os-master` pods do not store your analytics data, and if left unset the value defaults to 5Gi.
Shared volume size	Integer > 0	Yes	How much persistent disk storage is allocated for analytics data (in Gi). The default is 50Gi, but it is HIGHLY recommended that you calculate how much storage you need. See Estimating internal storage space
Type	Boolean: dedicated or shared	Yes	OpenSearch storage type to use for your analytics data. For more information about storage types, see Dedicated storage instead of shared storage. The default storage type is shared.
