Modifying Parameters of GeminiDB Influx Instances

You can modify parameters in a custom parameter template so that your instance can deliver spectacular performance.

Note that parameter values in default parameter templates cannot be changed.

  • Exercise caution when modifying parameter values to prevent exceptions.
  • Though parameter values in a default template cannot be changed, you can view details about a default parameter template. If a custom parameter template is set incorrectly, the database startup may fail. You can re-configure the custom parameter template according to the configurations of the default parameter template.

Usage Notes

Currently, parameters of GeminiDB Influx instances only on a single node or in a cluster can be modified.

Modifying a Custom Parameter Template and Applying It to an Instance

  1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console.
  2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB Influx API.
  3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Parameter Templates.
  4. Click the Custom Templates tab, locate the parameter template whose parameters you want to modify, and click its name.
  5. On the Parameters page, modify parameters. For details about the parameters, see Modifying Parameters of GeminiDB Influx Instances or Table 2.
