Migrate Properties to the Configuration Server

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

If you have the configuration microservice configured and running in a high availability environment, you can maintain properties for microservices of a given type in a single location in the Service Monitor. For example, if you have two query engine microservices running in your high availability environment, you can change the properties for both microservices in a single location, ensuring that the query engine microservices operate in the same manner across the product nodes. See Use the Symphony Data Discovery Configuration Microservice to Maintain Application Properties and Configure and Start the Configuration Microservice for information about the configuration microservice.

A utility is provided that can be used to migrate the microservice properties from your standalone Symphony server to the Symphony configuration data in the high availability PostgreSQL data store, where the configuration microservice can maintain them. The utility is located in the zoomdata tarball at …/scripts/zoomdata/config-server-upload.jar.

Run this utility using the following syntax:

java -jar config-server-upload.jar <service> <properties-file> <config-service-url>

where <service> is the microservice name, <properties-file> is the fully qualified file name of the properties file you want to migrate, and <config-service-url> is the URL of the configuration microservice (usually http://localhost:8888/api/environment).

The following example migrates the properties from /etc/zoomdata/zoomdata.properties for the Symphony microservice to the configuration data in the high availability PostgreSQL data store at the URL http://localhost:8888/api/environment:

java -jar /opt/zoomdata/scripts/zoomdata/config-server-upload.jar zoomdata /etc/zoomdata/zoomdata.properties http://localhost:8888/api/environment

In high availability environments, you will need to run this utility for every type of microservice in the environment to ensure that you can maintain the properties for all microservices in the Service Monitor.
