Type: string

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

autocert-url

autocert-url sets the URL used to obtain official TLS certificates when a client connects to the API. By default, certficates are obtains from LetsEncrypt. A good value for testing is “https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory”.

Type: string

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

controller-api-port

controller-api-port is an optional port that may be set for controllers that have a very heavy load. If this port is set, this port is used by the controllers to talk to each other - used for the local API connection as well as the pubsub forwarders, and the raft workers. If this value is set, the api-port isn’t opened until the controllers have started properly.

Type: integer

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

controller-name

controller-name is the canonical name for the controller.

Type: non-empty string

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

features

features allows a list of runtime changeable features to be updated.

identity-public-key sets the public key of the identity manager. Use this when users should be managed externally rather than created locally on the controller.

Type: string

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

identity-url

identity-url sets the URL of the identity manager. Use this when users should be managed externally rather than created locally on the controller.

Type: string

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

jujud-controller-snap-source

jujud-controller-snap-source returns the source for the controller snap. Can be set to “legacy”, “snapstore”, “local” or “local-dangerous”. Cannot be changed.

Type: string

Default value: legacy

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

login-token-refresh-url

login-token-refresh-url sets the URL of the login JWT well-known endpoint. Use this when authentication/authorisation is done using a JWT in the login request rather than a username/password or macaroon and a local permissions model.

Type: string

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

max-agent-state-size

max-agent-state-size is the maximum allowed size of internal state data that agents can store to the controller in bytes. A value of 0 disables the quota checks although in principle, mongo imposes a hard (but configurable) limit of 16M.

Type: integer

Default value: 524288

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

max-charm-state-size

max-charm-state-size is the maximum allowed size of charm-specific per-unit state data that charms can store to the controller in bytes. A value of 0 disables the quota checks although in principle, mongo imposes a hard (but configurable) limit of 16M.

Type: integer

Default value: 2097152

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

max-debug-log-duration

max-debug-log-duration is used to provide a backstop to the execution of a debug-log command. If someone starts a debug-log session in a remote screen for example, it is very easy to disconnect from the screen while leaving the debug-log process running. This causes unnecessary load on the API server. The max debug-log duration has a default of 24 hours, which should be more than enough time for a debugging session.

Type: duration

Default value: 24h0m0s

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

max-prune-txn-batch-size

This key is deprecated.

max-prune-txn-batch-size (deprecated) is the maximum number of transactions we will evaluate in one go when pruning. Default is 1M transactions. A value <= 0 indicates to do all transactions at once.

Type: integer

Default value: 1000000

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

max-prune-txn-passes

This key is deprecated.

max-prune-txn-passes (deprecated) is the maximum number of batches that we will process. So total number of transactions that can be processed is max-prune-txn-batch-size * max-prune-txn-passes. A value <= 0 implies ‘do a single pass’. If both max-prune-txn-batch-size and max-prune-txn-passes are 0, then the default value of 1M BatchSize and 100 passes will be used instead.

Type: integer

Default value: 100

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

max-txn-log-size

max-txn-log-size is the maximum size the of capped txn log collection, eg “10M”.

Type: string

Default value: 10M

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

metering-url

metering-url is the URL to use for metrics.

Type: string

Default value: https://api.jujucharms.com/omnibus/v3

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

migration-agent-wait-time

migration-agent-wait-time is the maximum time that the migration-master worker will wait for agents to report for a migration phase when executing a model migration.

Type: duration

Default value: 15m0s

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

model-logfile-max-backups

model-logfile-max-backups is the number of old model log files to keep (compressed).

Type: integer

Default value: 2

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

model-logfile-max-size

model-logfile-max-size is the maximum size of the log file written out by the controller on behalf of workers running for a model.

Type: string

Default value: 10M

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

model-logs-size

model-logs-size is the size of the capped collections used to hold the logs for the models, eg “20M”. Size is per model.

Type: string

Default value: 20M

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

mongo-memory-profile

mongo-memory-profile sets the memory profile for MongoDB. Valid values are:

  • “low”: use the least possible memory
  • “default”: use the default memory profile.

Type: string

Default value: default

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

prune-txn-query-count

prune-txn-query-count is the number of transactions to read in a single query. Minimum of 10, a value of 0 will indicate to use the default value (1000).

Type: integer

Default value: 1000

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

prune-txn-sleep-time

prune-txn-sleep-time is the amount of time to sleep between processing each batch query. This is used to reduce load on the system, allowing other queries to time to operate. On large controllers, processing 1000 txs seems to take about 100ms, so a sleep time of 10ms represents a 10% slowdown, but allows other systems to operate concurrently. A negative number will indicate to use the default, a value of 0 indicates to not sleep at all.

Type: duration

Default value: 10ms

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

public-dns-address

public-dns-address is the public DNS address (and port) of the controller.

Type: string

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

query-tracing-enabled

Type: boolean

Default value: false

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

query-tracing-threshold

query-tracing-threshold returns the “threshold” for query tracing. Any queries which take longer than this value will be logged (if query tracing is enabled). The lower the threshold, the more queries will be output. A value of 0 means all queries will be output.

Type: duration

Default value: 1s

Can be changed after bootstrap: yes

set-numa-control-policy

This key is deprecated.

set-numa-control-policy (true/false) is deprecated. Use to configure whether mongo is started with NUMA controller policy turned on.

Type: boolean

Default value: false

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

state-port

state-port is the port used for mongo connections.

Type: integer

Default value: 37017

Can be changed after bootstrap: no

caas-image-repo says it’s modifiable after bootstrap, but it’s not really according to this discussion

Please update the docs to indicate it cannot be changed after bootstrap
