Analytics subsystem settings

You can specify advanced configuration settings for the Analytics subsystem.

The IBM Cloud Pak Platform UI enables you to specify settings for the following areas:

For annotations, labels, node selectors, and tolerations, see Additional Kubernetes 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 1GB.

See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.

Credentials string No. Optional Backup credentials is the name of the Kubernetes secret you created for accessing your S3-compatible storage. No default.

See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.

Compress boolean: off/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/on No Optional Determines whether files are encrypted. When set to true (on), files are encrypted on the server side 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 will be invoked automatically. The format for the schedule is any valid cron string.

Default: "*/20 * * * *"

See Configuring backup settings for Analytics.

Storage

Table 2. Coord
Field Type Required Description
Storage Class string No Optional Name of the StorageClass required by the claim.

The Coord persistent storage serves the microservice that manages the routing and aggregating of requests. When you select the Storage Class, a local-volume storage is recommended for best performance, although block-storage is usable as well.

Select from the drop down. If none selected, the default storage class of your cluster will be selected.

See Planning the Analytics profile and storage.

Volume size integer > 0 No Optional Specify how much persistent disk storage is allocated for Coord data storage (in Gi). The default at 1Gi is recommended, but you can calculate how much storage you will need. See Estimating internal storage space.
Table 3. Data
Field Type Required Description
Storage Class string No Optional The Data persistent storage serves the microservice that manages the reading and writing of data, and executes complex queries and aggregations. Configuring the Data storage can lead to a significant increase in performance, as it has the most workload. When you select the Storage Class, a local-volume storage is recommended for best performance.

Select from the drop down. If none selected, the default storage class of your cluster will be selected.

See Planning the Analytics profile and storage.

Volume size integer > 0 No Optional With the Volume Size, you can control how much persistent disk storage is allocated for Data (in Gi). The default is 50Gi, but it is HIGHLY recommended you calculate how much storage you will need. See Estimating internal storage space
Table 4. Master
Field Type Required Description
Storage Class string No Optional The Master persistent storage serves the microservice that manages cluster state and health. When you select the Storage Class, a local-volume storage is recommended for best performance, although block storage is usable as well.

Select from the drop down. If none selected, the default storage class of your cluster will be selected.

See Planning the Analytics profile and storage.

Volume size integer > 0 No Optional Specifies how much persistent disk storage is allocated for Master (in Gi). The default is 5Gi, but you can calculate how much storage you will need. See Estimating internal storage space
