Understanding Global Configuration

Global configurations are applied to all data sources as opposed to other configurations that are applied to a specific sensor. For example, every message from every sensor is validated against global configuration rules.

The following is an index of the global configuration properties and their associated Apache Ambari properties if they are managed by Ambari.

[Important]Important

Any property that is managed by Ambari should only be modified via Ambari. Otherwise, when you restart a service, Ambari might overwrite your updates. For more information, see Updating Properties.

You can also create a validation using Stellar. The following validation uses Stellar to validate an ip_src_addr similar to the "validation":"IP"" example above:

"fieldValidations" : [
              {
                "validation" : "STELLAR",
                "config" : {
                    "condition" : "IS_IP(ip_src_addr, 'IPV4')"
                           }
              }
                       ]
