Configuration

Complete the fields with the required values and click the Create configuration button.

Fields

  • Data Centers (Mandatory)

    The Cassandra Cluster DC that you want to enable Commitlog Archiving.

  • Retention (Mandatory)

    The amount of time in hours (h), days (d), weeks (w), months (M), or years (y) that you want to archive commit logs for.

  • Remote Storage

    The following options are available for remote storage locations:

    • AWS S3
    • Google Cloud Storage
    • Local filesystem
    • Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
    • S3 Compatible
    • SFTP/SSH

  • Base Remote Path

    This is the name of the storage bucket. You can also add subfolders if using shared buckets or saving multiple clusters to the same bucket. By default AxonOps saves backups to /bucket/folder/org/clustertype/clustername/host-id/.

    The org/clustertype/clustername/host-id/ path matches the top breadcrumb navigation in the AxonOps Dashboard.
