Configure cluster parameters

The KubeBlocks configuration function provides a set of consistent default configuration generation strategies for all the databases running on KubeBlocks and also provides a unified parameter configuration interface to facilitate managing parameter configuration, searching the parameter user guide, and validating parameter effectiveness.

From v0.6.0, KubeBlocks supports kbcli cluster configure and kbcli cluster edit-config to configure parameters. The difference is that KubeBlocks configures parameters automatically with kbcli cluster configure but kbcli cluster edit-config provides a visualized way for you to edit parameters directly.

From the meta information, the cluster mongodb-cluster has a configuration file named mongodb.conf.

You can also view the details of this configuration file and parameters.

    kbcli cluster describe-config mongodb-cluster --show-detail

Configure parameters​

Configure parameters with configure command​

The example below configures systemLog.verbosity to 1.

  1. Adjust the values of systemLog.verbosity to 1.

    kbcli cluster configure mongodb-cluster --component mongodb --config-spec mongodb-config --config-file mongodb.conf --set systemLog.verbosity=1
    >
    Warning: The parameter change you modified needs to be restarted, which may cause the cluster to be unavailable for a period of time. Do you need to continue...
    Please type "yes" to confirm: yes
    Will updated configure file meta:
    ConfigSpec: mongodb-config      ConfigFile: mongodb.conf      ComponentName: mongodb  ClusterName: mongodb-cluster
    OpsRequest mongodb-cluster-reconfiguring-q8ndn created successfully, you can view the progress:
           kbcli cluster describe-ops mongodb-cluster-reconfiguring-q8ndn -n default

  2. Check the configuration history.


     kbcli cluster describe-config mongodb-cluster
     >
     ConfigSpecs Meta:
     CONFIG-SPEC-NAME         FILE                  ENABLED   TEMPLATE                     CONSTRAINT                   RENDERED                                         COMPONENT   CLUSTER

     mongodb-metrics-config   metrics-config.yaml   false     mongodb-metrics-config                                    mongodb-cluster-mongodb-mongodb-metrics-config   mongodb     mongodb-cluster

     History modifications:
     OPS-NAME                              CLUSTER           COMPONENT   CONFIG-SPEC-NAME   FILE           STATUS    POLICY    PROGRESS   CREATED-TIME                 VALID-UPDATED

  3. Verify configuration result.

     root@mongodb-cluster-mongodb-0:/# cat etc/mongodb/mongodb.conf |grep verbosity
     verbosity: "1"

Configure parameters with edit-config command​

For your convenience, KubeBlocks offers a tool edit-config to help you to configure parameter in a visualized way.

For Linux and macOS, you can edit configuration files by vi. For Windows, you can edit files on notepad.

  1. Edit the configuration file.

    kbcli cluster edit-config mongodb-cluster
    note

    If there are multiple components in a cluster, use --component to specify a component.

  2. View the status of the parameter configuration.

    kbcli cluster describe-ops xxx -n default

  3. Connect to the database to verify whether the parameters are configured as expected.

    kbcli cluster connect mongodb-cluster
    note
    1. For the edit-config function, static parameters and dynamic parameters cannot be edited at the same time.
    2. Deleting a parameter will be supported later.
