Config File Only Settings
Certain key settings can only be set in the /etc/continuum/continuum.yaml file. These settings are required, but are not exposed in the Settings UI. They must be set explicitly and consistently in the /etc/continuum/continuum.yaml file on each Continuum server.

'continuum' if omittedmongodb_username- if the MongoDB server is secured, the authentication usernamemongodb_password- if the MongoDB server is secured, the authentication passwordkey- the encryption key used to encrypt datalogfiles- the path where logfiles will be stored. '/var/continuum/log' if omitted
There are two mutually exclusive pairs of settings for MongoDB - single database instance and database replication configuration. If single server (mongodb_server) is provided, it will take precedence over the replicaset settings, and the system will not be capable of automatic database failover.
