Edge Configuration File Reference

Edge for Private Cloud v4.18.01

Shown below is an example of a complete silent configuration file for a 9 node Edge installation. Edit this file as necessary for your configuration. Use the -f option to setup.sh to include this file. Also shown below are example configuration files for each Edge topology.

The following table contains additional information about these properties:

Property Note
IP/DNS names Do not use a host name mapping to 127.0.0.1 or an IP address of 127.0.0.1 when specifying the IP address of a node.
ENABLE_SYSTEM_CHECK

If "y", check that the system meets the CPU and memory requirements for the component being installed. See Installation Requirements for requirements for each component.

The default value is "n" to disable check.

ENABLE_DYNAMIC_HOSTIP

If a server has multiple interface cards, the "hostname -i" command returns a space-separated list of IP addresses's. By default, the Edge installer uses the first IP address returned, which might not be correct in all situations. As an alternative, you can set the following property in the installation configuration file.

When set to "y", the installer prompts you to select the IP address to use in the install. The default value is "n".

ADMIN_EMAIL
APIGEE_ADMINPW

The system administrator's password must be at least 8 characters long and contain one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit or one special character. If you omit the password, you will be prompted for it.

After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.

LICENSE_FILE

The location of the license file, which must be accessible to the "apigee" user. For example, store it in the /tmp directory and chmod 777 on the file. The file is copied to the Edge installation directory.

APIGEE_LDAPPW

Specifies the OpenLDAP password.

After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.

USE_LDAP_REMOTE_HOST
LDAP_HOST
LDAP_PORT

If USE_LDAP_REMOTE_HOST is n, Edge automatically installs OpenLDAP when it installs the Management Server.

Set USE_LDAP_REMOTE_HOST to y if you are connecting to a remote LDAP server. OpenLDAP is not installed with the Management Server.

If you are connecting to a remote OpenLDAP server, use LDAP_HOST and LDAP_PORT to specify the IP address or DNS name and port number of the host.

LDAP_TYPE
LDAP_SID
LDAP_PEER

Set LDAP_TYPE=1 for OpenLDAP with no replication. LDAP_TYPE=2 corresponds to OpenLDAP with replication.

If your Edge topology uses a single OpenLDAP server, specify 1. If your Edge installation uses multiple OpenLDAP nodes, such as in a 13-node production installation, specify 2.

If you enable replication, set the following properties:

  • LDAP_SID=1 - Unique ID for this LDAP server. Each LDAP node uses a different ID. For example, set to 2 for LDAP peer.
  • LDAP_PEER=10.0.0.1 - IP or DNS name of LDAP peer.
MP_POD Specify the name of the Message Processor and Router pod. By default, the name is gateway.
REGION

Region name. By convention, names are typically in the form dc-# where # corresponds to an integer value. For example, dc-1, dc-2, etc. You can use dc-1 unless installing in a multi-data center environment.

In a multiple data center installation, the value is dc-1, or dc-2, etc. depending on which data center you are installing. However, you are not restricted to using only names in the form dc-#. You can use any name for the region.

ZK_HOSTS

The IP addresses or DNS names of the ZooKeeper nodes. The IP addresses or DNS names must be listed in the same order on all ZooKeeper nodes.

Use the same format for HOSTIP as you use for ZK_HOSTS. That is, if you specify the IP address for ZK_HOSTS use an IP address for HOSTIP. If you use a DNS, then use a DNS name for both.

In a multi-data center environment, list all ZooKeeper nodes from both data centers.

Specify the ":observer" modifier on ZooKeeper nodes only when creating multiple data centers as described in a 12-host installation. In a single data center installation, omit that modifier. For more information, see 12-host clustered installation.

ZK_CLIENT_HOSTS

The IP addresses or DNS names of the ZooKeeper nodes used by this data center. The IP addresses or DNS names must be listed in the same order on all ZooKeeper nodes.

Use the same format for HOSTIP as you use for ZK_CLIENT_HOSTS. That is, if you specify the IP address for ZK_CLIENT_HOSTS use an IP address for HOSTIP. If you use a DNS, then use a DNS name for both.

In a single data center installation, these are the same nodes as specified by ZK_HOSTS.

In a multi-data center environment, list only the ZooKeeper nodes in this data center. For more information, see 12-host clustered installation.

CASS_CLUSTERNAME Optionally specify the name of the Cassandra cluster. The default name is "Apigee".
CASS_HOSTS

The IP addresses (not DNS names) of the Cassandra nodes. The first two nodes will be used as seed servers. The IP addresses must be listed in the same order on all Cassandra nodes.

Cassandra nodes can have an optional ":dc,ra" suffix that specifies the data center and rack of the Cassandra node. Specify this modifier only when creating multiple data centers as described in a 12-host installation. In a single data center installation, omit that modifier.

For example '192.168.124.201:1,1 = datacenter 1 and rack/availability zone 1, and '192.168.124.204:2,1 = datacenter 2 and rack/availability zone 1.

In a multi-datacenter environment, to overcome firewall issues, CASS_HOSTS have to be ordered in a manner (as shown in above example) such that the nodes of the current datacenter are placed at the beginning. For more information, see 12-host clustered installation.

CASS_AUTH
CASS_USERNAME
CASS_PASSWORD

If you enable Cassandra authentication, CASS_AUTH=y, you can pass the Cassandra user name and password by using these properties.

After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.

PG_USER
PG_PWD

By default, the PostgreSQL database has two users defined: 'postgres' and 'apigee'.

PG_USER lets you change the username of the 'apigee' user. You cannot change the name of the 'postgres' user.

By default, the PostgreSQL database has two users defined: 'postgres' and 'apigee'. Both users have a default password of 'postgres'. Use PG_PWD to set the password to a different value for both users at install time.

After installation completes, Apigee recommends that you remove the password from the configuration file.

PG_MASTER
PG_STANDBY

Set to enable Postgres master-standby replication, in the form:

PG_MASTER=IPorDNSofNewMaster

PG_STANDBY=IPorDNSofOldMaster

SKIP_SMTP
SMTPHOST
SMTPUSER
SMTPPASSWORD
SMTPSSL
SMTPPORT
SMTPMAILFROM

Configure SMTP so Edge can send emails for lost passwords and other notifications.

If SMTP user credentials are not required, omit SMTPUSER and SMTPPASSWORD.

SMTPMAILFROM is required.
