> [!CAUTION] > **Caution:** This documentation covers Edge for Private Cloud 4.19.01, which is no longer supported. Google does not provide security patches, bug fixes, or technical support for this version. The current supported version is 4.54.00. See the [Edge for Private Cloud documentation](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/latest/overview) for the current version, or [All versions](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/versions) to compare releases. *Edge for Private Cloud v4.19.01* After a successful Edge installation, there are some common tasks that you might want to perform to validate the installation, tune your settings, and customize your configuration. These tasks include: | Task | Description | |---|---| | [Invoke commands on Edge components](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/after-the-install#invoke-commands) | Use the `apigee-service` utility to start, stop, restart, and get the status of each Edge component. | | [Configure Edge components](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/after-the-install#configcomp) | Use properties files to change the default Edge component settings. | | [Run apigee-validate](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/test-install#runthevalidationtests) | Invoke the test scripts to ensure that your installation of each component was successful. | | [Tune JVM heap settings](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/modifying-java-settings) | Optimize your Java memory settings for each node. | | [Manage LDAP password policy](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/managing-default-ldap-password-policy-api-management) | Change the default LDAP password and configure various authentication settings. | | [Install apigee-monit on the node](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/after-the-install#monit) | Install and use a tool that monitors the components on the node and attempts to restart them if they fail. | | [Set up PostgreSQL purge job(s)](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/recurring-analytics-services-maintenance-tasks#pruninganalyticsdata) | Prune excess data collected by the analytics service. | | [Set up Cassandra nodetool repair](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/apache-cassandra-maintenance-tasks) | Periodic maintenance you should perform on your Cassandra ring to ensure consistency across all nodes. | | [Enable autostart](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/setting-server-autostart) | Instruct Edge for Private Cloud to restart automatically during a reboot. | Note that these are just some of the more common tasks you typically perform after installing Edge. For additional operations and administration tasks, see [How to configure Edge](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/how-configure-edge) and [Operations](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/starting-stopping-and-restarting-apigee-edge). ## Invoke commands on Edge components Edge installs management utilities under `/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin` that you can use to manage an Edge installation. For example, you can use the `apigee-all` utility to start, stop, restart, or determine the status of all Edge components on the node: ``` /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-all stop|start|restart|status|version ``` Use the `apigee-service` utility to control and configure individual components. The `apigee-service` utility has the form: ``` /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service component_name action ``` Where component_name identifies the component. The component must be on the node on which you execute `apigee-service`. Depending on your configuration, values of component_name can include: - `apigee-cassandra` (Cassandra) - `apigee-openldap` (OpenLDAP) - `apigee-postgresql` (PostgreSQL database) - `apigee-qpidd` (Qpidd) - `apigee-sso` (Edge SSO) - `apigee-zookeeper` (ZooKeeper) - `edge-management-server` (Management Server) - `edge-management-ui` (new Edge UI) - `edge-message-processor` (Message Processor) - `edge-postgres-server` (Postgres Server) - `edge-qpid-server` (Qpid Server) - `edge-router` (Edge Router) - `edge-ui` (Classic UI) In addition to these components, you can also invoke `apigee-service` on the `apigee-provision` and `apigee-validate` components depending on your configuration. For example, to restart the Edge Router, execute the following command: ``` /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-router restart ``` You can determine the list of components installed on the node by examining the `/opt/apigee` directory. That directory contains a subdirectory for every Edge component installed on the node. Each subdirectory is prefixed by: - `apigee`: A third-party component used by Edge. For example, `apigee-cassandra`. - `edge`: An Edge component from Apigee. For example, `edge-management-server`. - `edge-mint`: A Monetization component. For example `edge-mint-management-server`. The complete list of actions for a component depends on the component itself, but all components support the following actions: - `start, stop, restart` - `status, version` - `backup, restore` - `install, uninstall` ## Configure Edge components To configure Edge after installation, you use a combination of `.properties` files and Edge utilities. For example, to configure TLS/SSL on the Edge UI, you edit `.properties` files to set the necessary properties. Changes to `.properties` files require you to restart the affected Edge component. The `.properties` files are located in the `/opt/apigee/customer/application` directory. Each component has its own `.properties` file in that directory. For example, `router.properties` and `management-server.properties`. > [!NOTE] > **NOTE:** If you have not set any properties for a component, the `/opt/apigee/customer/application` directory might not contain a `.properties` file for the component. In that case, create one. To set a property for a component, edit the corresponding `.properties` file, and then restart the component: ``` /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service component restart ``` For example: ``` /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-router restart ``` When you update Edge, the `.properties` files in the `/opt/apigee/customer/application` directory are read. That means the update retains any properties that you set on the component. See [How to configure Edge](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/how-configure-edge) for more information on Edge configuration. ## Install apigee-monit on the node After you have completed installing components on a node, you can optionally add the `apigee-monit` utility. `apigee-monit` will monitor the components on the node and attempt to restart them if they fail. For more information, see [Self healing with apigee-monit](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.01/apigee-monit).
