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 settings in Platform UI.

Review Analytics preinstallation planning to decide on the deployment options for your analytics subsystem. If you want to offload your analytics data and disable local storage, you must configure local storage disablement before installation because it cannot be changed after installation.

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

Cloud Pak for Integration Platform UI

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

Analytics database backup
Storage type, class, and size

All other analytics settings must be configured directly in the analytics section of the APIConnectCluster CR.

Table 1. Database backup
Field	Type	Required	Description
Backup chunk size in GB	Integer	No	`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 analytics backups.
Credentials	String	No	The backup credential is the name of the Kubernetes secret that you created for accessing your S3-compatible storage. No default. See Configuring analytics backups.
Compress	Boolean: off or on	No	Determines whether metadata files are stored in compressed format. Default value is false (off). See Configuring analytics backups.
Enable server-side encryption	Boolean: off or on	No	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 analytics backups.
Analytics server hostname	String	No	The URL to your S3 storage. No default. See Configuring analytics backups.
Backup Path	String	No	The path to your S3 storage at the URL specified by analytics server hostname.host. No default. See Configuring analytics backups.
Schedule cron expression	String	No	The schedule that determines how often backups are run automatically. The format for the schedule is any valid `cron` string. Default: "/20 * * *" See Configuring analytics backups.

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 Analytics preinstallation planning.
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 Analytics preinstallation planning.
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). See Estimating storage requirements. If you do not have the information to estimate your usage, set this to 500Gi. For an installation where you expect to store little or no analytics data, you can set the storage to 50Gi.
Type	Boolean: dedicated or shared	Yes	OpenSearch storage type to use for your analytics data. For more information about storage types, see Analytics preinstallation planning. The default storage type is shared.
