(v23) Connector Properties and Property Files

Connector Properties and Property Files

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Symphony's architecture enables the deployment of Symphony's data connectors as standalone components running in their own process space. Each connector has its own dedicated connector server and a corresponding property files. Some properties are common to all connectors and some properties are unique to a specific connector. The properties for each connector are documented in the property files.

The kinds of configuration properties found in these files include:

• logging properties
• actuator properties (Spring Boot management endpoint configuration)
• data source connection pool properties
• data source-specific properties
• Kerberos configuration properties (for some connectors)
• service discovery properties
• other connector-specific properties.

Note: insightsoftware discourages changing properties in the /opt/zoomdata/conf directory (Linux) or <install-path>/conf (Windows). Copy the files you want to change to the /etc/zoomdata directory (Linux) or <install-path>/conf-modify (Windows) and change them there. This will ensure that your changes are not overwritten when Symphony is next upgraded.

Quickly determine what changes you've made to a properties file using diff in Linux. For example:

diff /opt/zoomdata/conf/edc-<connector-name>.properties /etc/zoomdata/<edc-<connector-name>.properties

or

diff /opt/zoomdata/conf/zoomdata.properties /etc/zoomdata/zoomdata.properties

For Windows environments, use your preferred diff utility to compare the differences between your original and updated property files.

The connector property files have names in the following format: edc-<connector>.properties. The following table lists these property files and identifies the associated connector.
