/opt/opsview/deploy/etc/user_secrets.ymlfile.

Installation
Refer to Advanced Automated Installation.
Configuration
We ship the opsview-datastore with the configuration tuned for high-performance. Any configuration overrides should be placed in a .ini file in /opt/opsview/datastore/etc/local.d directory.
Management
Debians
Watchdog service files are now managed by the package, doing a remove would leave the watchdog service file behind with a .save extension. Purging the package will remove it. The package managed config files are as follows:
- /opt/opsview/watchdog/etc/services/opsview-datastore.conf
- /opt/opsview/datastore/etc/local.d/custom.ini
RPMs
Watchdog service files are now managed by the package. Any modifications will be saved at upgrade and remove time.
- /opt/opsview/watchdog/etc/services/opsview-datastore.conf
- /opt/opsview/datastore/etc/local.d/custom.ini
Note
For hostname changes, datastore as an Erlang component does not handle hostname changes well and reconfiguration or reinstallation is required.
Opsview Datastore logs via syslog using local6 facility.
As root, start, stop and restart the service using:
/opt/opsview/watchdog/bin/opsview-monit <start|stop|restart> opsview-datastore
