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.

  • mongodb_database - MongoDB database name. 'continuum' if omitted
  • mongodb_username - if the MongoDB server is secured, the authentication username
  • mongodb_password - if the MongoDB server is secured, the authentication password
  • key - the encryption key used to encrypt data
  • logfiles - 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.

MongoDB Single Server

If  is provided, it will take precence over the replicaset properties.

  • mongodb_server - the hostname or IP address of the MongoDB server
  • mongodb_port - the port for the MongoDB service. '27107' if omitted

MongoDB Replication

  • mongodb_replicaset_name - the name of the MongoDB replica set as configured in the database cluster
  • mongodb_replicaset_hosts - a comma-separated list of host:port values.  Ex: server-one:27107,server-two:3001,server-three:27017
