update-config

Description

Update configuration for one or all SingleStore nodes in the cluster.

For the target nodes, update-config instructs each node, on startup, to set the engine variable (specified by the --key) to the --value.

If --set-global is specified, update-config will connect to the node (if the process is running) and run SET GLOBAL, setting the variable specified by the --key to the --value. This enables the variable’s value to be set before the node restarts.

Using --set-global is equivalent to running SET GLOBAL on a non-sync variable or running SET CLUSTER on a sync variable.

If --reset is specified, it will reset both the SET GLOBAL variables and the SingleStore config file variables.

If the engine variable (specified by the --key) is a sync variable:

  • You must specify the --memsql-id of the Master Aggregator.

  • You must specify the --set-global parameter.

  • You cannot specify the --all parameter.

Examples

The following example sets the general_log engine variable on all nodes on the local host.

sdb-admin update-config --all --set-global --key "general_log" --value "PARTIAL"
Toolbox is about to run 'memsqlctl update-config --key general_log --value PARTIAL --set-global'
on the following nodes:
    - On host 127.0.0.1:
      + 24084C82FD8E4342EF61ED4D85105A1CF5A264F5
      + B72DD1417CBAEAC04FD71ED3E0CAC81A723DB43C

Would you like to continue? [y/N]: y
✓ Updated configuration on 127.0.0.1  
Operation completed successfully

The following example attempts to set a sync variable on a leaf node.

sdb-admin update-config --memsql-id B72DD1417CBAEAC04FD71ED3E0CAC81A723DB43C \
--set-global --key "default_distributed_ddl_timeout" --value "15"

As expected, update-config fails with the following error:

Variable default_distributed_ddl_timeout must be set on a Master Aggregator

To correct this error, run sdb-admin update-config using the --memsql-id of the Master Aggregator.

Usage

Usage:
sdb-admin update-config [flags]
For flags that can accept multiple values (indicated by VALUES after the name of the flag),
separate each value with a comma.
Flags:
-a, --all Update all nodes in the cluster
-h, --help Help for update-config
--key string The configuration key to update
--role {master, aggregator, leaf, unknown} Update only nodes with the given role. Possible roles are LEAF, AGGREGATOR, and MASTER (default Unspecified)
--memsql-id MemsqlID The node ID of the node on which to update the configuration
--reset Reset the key to the default value (formerly --delete)
--set-global Execute the associated SET GLOBAL statement
--value string The value to set for the key
Global Flags:
--backup-cache FILE_PATH File path for the backup cache
--cache-file FILE_PATH File path for the Toolbox node cache
-c, --config FILE_PATH File path for the Toolbox configuration
--disable-colors Disable color output in console, which some terminal sessions/environments may have difficulty with
--disable-spinner Disable the progress spinner, which some terminal sessions/environments may have issues with
-j, --json Enable JSON output
--parallelism POSITIVE_INTEGER Maximum number of operations to run in parallel
--runtime-dir DIRECTORY_PATH Where to store Toolbox runtime data
--ssh-control-persist SECONDS Enable SSH ControlPersist and set it to the specified duration in seconds
--ssh-max-sessions POSITIVE_INTEGER Maximum number of SSH sessions to open per host, must be at least 3
--ssh-strict-host-key-checking Enable strict host key checking for SSH connections
--ssh-user-known-hosts-file FILE_PATH Path to the user known_hosts file for SSH connections. If not set, /dev/null will be used
--state-file FILE_PATH Toolbox state file path
-v, --verbosity count Increase logging verbosity: valid values are 1, 2, 3. Usage -v=count or --verbosity=count
-y, --yes Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default

Remarks

This command is interactive unless you use either the --yes or --json flags to override interactive behavior.
