Datastore Settings

In the Settings section of CCX, there are two primary configuration options: General and DB Parameters.

The General settings section allows you to configure high-level settings for your datastore. This may include basic configurations such as system name, storage options, and general system behavior.

The DB Parameters section is used for fine-tuning your database. Here, you can adjust specific database settings such as memory allocation, query behavior, or performance-related parameters. These settings allow for a deeper level of control and optimization of the datastore for your specific workload.

Database Parameters​

Please see Configuration management.

Changing the Datastore Name in CCX​

The Datastore Name in CCX is an identifier for your datastore instance, and it is important for proper organization and management of multiple datastores. The name can be set when creating a datastore or changed later to better reflect its purpose or environment.

Notifications in CCX​

Introduced in v.1.50.

The Notifications feature in CCX allows you to configure email alerts for important system events. These notifications help ensure that you are aware of critical events happening within your environment, such as when the disk space usage exceeds a certain threshold or when important jobs are started on the datastore.

To configure recipients of notification emails, simply enter the email addresses in the provided field. Multiple recipients can be added by separating each email with a semicolon (;).

If no email addresses are added, notifications will be disabled.

Key Notifications:​

  • Disk Space Alerts: When disk usage exceeds 85%, a notification is sent to the configured recipients.
  • Job Alerts: Notifications are sent when significant jobs (such as data processing or backups) are initiated on the datastore.

This feature ensures that system administrators and key stakeholders are always up-to-date with the health and operations of the system, reducing the risk of unexpected issues.

Auto Scaling Storage Size in CCX​

Introduced in v.1.50.

CCX provides a convenient Auto Scaling Storage Size feature that ensures your system never runs out of storage capacity unexpectedly. By enabling this feature, users can automatically scale storage based on usage, optimizing space management.

When Auto Scale is turned ON, the system will automatically increase the storage size by 20% when the used space exceeds 85% of the allocated storage. This proactive scaling ensures that your system maintains sufficient space for operations, preventing service interruptions due to storage constraints.

Key Benefits:​

  • Automatic scaling by 20% when usage exceeds 85%.
  • Ensures consistent performance and reliability.
  • Eliminates the need for manual storage interventions.

This feature is especially useful for dynamic environments where storage usage can rapidly change, allowing for seamless growth as your data expands.

Authentication in CCX​

Introduced in v.1.49.

The Authentication section in CCX allows users to download credentials and CA certificates, which are essential for securing communication between the system and external services or applications.

Credentials​

The Credentials download provides the necessary authentication details, such as API keys, tokens, or certificates, that are used to authenticate your system when connecting to external services or accessing certain system resources. These credentials should be securely stored and used only by authorized personnel.

To download the credentials, simply click the Download button.

CA Certificate​

The CA Certificate ensures secure communication by verifying the identity of external systems or services through a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). This certificate is critical when establishing secure connections like HTTPS or mutual TLS (mTLS).

To download the CA Certificate, click the Download button next to the CA Certificate section.

Security Considerations:​

  • Keep credentials secure: After downloading, ensure the credentials and certificates are stored in a secure location and only accessible by authorized personnel.
  • Use encryption: Where possible, encrypt your credentials and certificates both at rest and in transit.
  • Regularly rotate credentials: To maintain security, periodically rotate your credentials and update any related system configurations.

This Authentication section is vital for maintaining a secure and trustworthy communication environment in your CCX setup.
