Configuration reference

The following settings are configurable via Hiera in your Bolt project.

To update Continuous Delivery for Puppet Enterprise with new configuration values, make edits to data/common.yaml and run the cd4peadm::configure plan.

  • targets: A map containing three keys, one for each Continuous Delivery for PE component: backend, database, and ui. Each value is an array of the targets on which to install each of the components.
    Note: We only support an all-in-one install, so all components must be installed on the same single target. When running the cd4peadm::install plan, these are populated with the selected target from the inventory.

      • max_log_size_mb: The size a log file can grow to before rotation, in megabytes. Defaults to 100MB.
      • keep_log_files: The number of past log files to keep after rotation. Defaults to 3.
      • extra_parameters: Extra flags to pass to the command that runs this container.
  • java_args: Arguments to pass to the JVM that runs Continuous Delivery for PE's backend. Defaults to -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M
  • job_http_read_timeout_mins: The timeout for web requests made from jobs. Defaults to 29 minutes.
  • job_global_timeout_mins: The overall timeout for a running job. Defaults to 30 minutes.
