Cloud operator properties

Edit online

This topic lists the operator properties for your pure Cloud-based IBM Netcool Operations Insight® installation.

The following tables presents the properties in alphabetical order. Where no value is given for the default, this means that the default for that operator in the YAML file is empty.

Note: Ensure you use the correct format when inserting the storage sizes. The correct format is, for example, "100Gi". Invalid characters or incorrect syntax for the parameters are not allowed.
Table 1. Installation properties
Property Description Default
advanced.antiAffinity To prevent primary and backup server pods from being installed on the same worker node, set this option to true. When enabled, anti-affinity is configured for affinity.podAntiAffinity.preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution. false
advanced.imagePullPolicy The default pull policy is IfNotPresent, which causes the kubelet to skip pulling an image that exists. IfNotPresent
advanced.imagePullRepository Docker registry that all component images are pulled from. Defaults to the IBM® Entitled Registry, cp.icr.io
Note: Trailing forward slash in the Image Pull Repository parameters causes datalayer not to deploy. A blockage occurs in the installation process because the datalayer pod fails due to the invalid image name. To fix the issue, you must uninstall and reinstall without the trailing forward slash.
 cp.icr.io/cp/noi
backupRestore.enableAnalyticsBackups Enables backups.

Cloud: This parameter must be set to false for a full cloud deployment of IBM Netcool® Operations Insight on OpenShift®.

Hybrid: This parameter must be set to true for a hybrid deployment.

If set to true, the cronjob that does the backups is activated.

  
clusterDomain Use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to formulate the clusterDomain property, by using the following formula: 
apps.clustername.*.*.com.
Note: The apps prefix must be included in the FQDN. For more information see this Red Hat® OpenShift documentation: Launch out icon https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.10/installing/installing_bare_metal/installing-bare-metal-network-customizations.html#installation-dns-user-infra_installing-bare-metal-network-customizations

helmValuesNOI.global.nonArbitraryToArbitraryUserUpgradeMode.enabled Enables upgrade mode.  
helmValuesNOI.global.service.nodePort.enable Enables nodePort communication. For more information, see Configuring ObjectServer and proxy service types.  
helmValuesNOI.ibm-noi-bkuprestore.noibackuprestore.backupDestination.hostname Optional: The destination hostname of the machine where the backups are copied to.
Note: Valid for primary deployment only.
 false
helmValuesNOI.ibm-noi-bkuprestore.noibackuprestore.backupDestination.username

Optional: The username on the destination hostname that does the SCP copy.

Note: Valid for primary deployment only.
 false
helmValuesNOI.ibm-noi-bkuprestore.noibackuprestore.backupDestination.directory Optional: The directory on the destination hostname that receives the backups.
Note: Valid for primary deployment only.
 false
helmValuesNOI.ibm-noi-bkuprestore.noibackuprestore.backupDestination.secretName

Optional: The Kubernetes secret name, which contains the private ssh key that is used to do the SCP. The secret key privatekey must be used to store the ssh private key.

Note: Valid for primary deployment only.

If you want to use SCP, set this property before you install Netcool Operations Insight.

false
helmValuesNOI.ibm-noi-bkuprestore.noibackuprestore.schedule Optional: It is the Cron schedule format that is used to determine how often the backups are taken. For more information about this approach for running scheduled runs, see Launch out icon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron.
Note: Valid for primary deployment only.

Every 3 minutes

helmValuesNOI.ibm-noi-bkuprestore.noibackuprestore.claimName
Optional: The PVC claim name that is used to store the backups. An empty value implies no use of Kubernetes persistent storage.
Note: Valid for primary deployment only.

This property must be specified before the NOI deployment if Kubernetes persistent storage is required.

 false
helmValuesNOI.ibm-noi-bkuprestore.noibackuprestore.maxbackups Optional: The maximum number of historic policy backups to keep on the persistent volume to preserve storage space.
Note: Valid for primary deployment only.

  • If you set the ldap mode: proxy value, then ensure that you set the correct LDAP values for your external LDAP service.
