opscenter cluster_name.conf settings

I'm working on backup/restore in S3 with Datastax OpsCenter 5.2.1. This link says

AWS credentials and bucket names are stored in cluster_name.conf.

Whereas, this OpsCenter 5.2 doc doesn't mention those settings at all.

Separately, the Opscenter 5.1 doc mentions [destinations] stanza which is completely missing from the 5.2 doc.

I'd love to get some clarity here. Thanks.

Solution

  • Please ensure that you are looking at the right docs for your versions. There will be differences between versions of OpsCenter and they will be reflected in the docs accordingly.

    In this case, however, both sets of docs are the same.

    5.2

    5.1

    They both read

    [destinations] active¶

    Specifies the names of destinations to backup to. They shouldn't have spaces and

    should be delimited by comments.

    Regarding this note:

    AWS credentials and bucket names are stored in cluster_name.conf.

    It is also in both sets of docs and is valid. Please ensure you take security precautions for this file since it has your creds.

    I'm afraid this is not related to your original problem.
