Edit Combine Configuration Values

Overview

NOTE: This is an advanced operation for users who are operating a self service deployment of Combine. If you have any questions please contact your Combine Support Team.

Combine Configuration allows almost every aspect of Combine's behavior to be modified, frequently without a server restart. Combine Configuration is stored as a series of Parameter / Parameter Value pairs.

Configuration Store

To override a Combine Configuration value you must make an entry in the Combine Configuration AWS DynamoDB Table.

The table name is:

combine-configuration

If your Combine environment has a Shard ID, then the table name is:

combine-<shard id>-configuration

Configuration Store Values

Combine Configuration Values have a simple schema:

parameter_name - String Value of the parameter name. parameter_value - String Value of the parameter value. parameter_type - Optional String Value indicating the parameter type. (NOTE: This is for internal use only. Do not set a parameter_type manually.)

You may add an entry using the DynamoDB user interface. Be sure to add a new string attribute to set the parameter_value.

You may add an entry using the DynamoDB JSON notation as well. The general schema is:

{
  "parameter_name": {
    "S": "<parameter_name>"
  },
  "parameter_value": {
    "S": "<parameter_value>"
  }
}

For example:

{
  "parameter_name": {
    "S": "combine.log.level"
  },
  "parameter_value": {
    "S": "VERBOSE"
  }
}

Combine Configuration Values are cached for a configurable duration (default is 60 seconds). Some Combine Configuration Values require a server restart to take affect.
