CAS (Configuration Auditing System) database instance

If you are a CAS user, configure the CAS database instance.

Field Description
Account The name of the account owner.

Example: cassandra

Directory The name of the installation directory.

Define pipe separated variables for all Apache Cassandra datasources that run CAS scripts or templates.

Example:

/home/cassandra | installpath=/home/cassandra/apache-cassandra-4.x | logpath=/home/cassandra/apache-cassandra-4.x/log | CASSANDRA_CONF_PATH=/home/cassandra/apache-cassandra-4.x/conf

Where:
  • home/cassandra : is the home directory path for the Cassandra user. This entry is required.
  • installpath=/home/cassandra/apache-cassandra-4.x : is the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) default installation location. For .tar files, use the path to the folder where Apache Cassandra was extracted.
  • logpath=/home/cassandra/apache-cassandra-4.x/log : is the default path to the log file. This path can be modified.
  • CASSANDRA_CONF_PATH=/home/cassandra/apache-cassandra-4.x/conf : is the default RPM location of the configuration file. The default .tar file path is $installpath/conf.
