Configuring the Cluster Manager
The Cluster Manager server has a number of configuration properties that affect its behavior. These can be controlled using a grb_rsm.cnf configuration file. The installation package includes a predefined configuration file that can be used as a starting point (<installdir>/bin/grb_rsm.cnf).
The simplest way to modify the parameters is to edit the default configuration file. Other options are available, though. The grb_rsm process uses the following precedence rules:
- First priority: properties set with a command-line flag (using --config)
- Second priority: a configuration file in the current directory
- Third priority: a configuration file in a shared directory (C:\gurobi, /opt/gurobi, /Library/gurobi for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS platforms, respectively)
- Fourth priority: a configuration file in the directory where grb_rsm is located
Configuration file format
The configuration file contains a list of properties of the form PROPERTY=value. Lines that begin with the # symbol are treated as comments and are ignored. Here is an example:
# grb_rsm.cnf configuration file PORT=61080 CLUSTER_TOKEN=GRBTK-BzlUTKg9M/+HUvOpy/EPebc1CsttzOfdrfQshL4QkLm1FA== DB_URI=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017While you could create this file from scratch, we recommend you start with the version that is included with the product and modify it instead.
The grb_rsm properties
command lists all of the available
properties, their default values, and provides documentation for each.
Some can be overridden on the grb_rsm
command line; the
grb_rsm properties
command shows the name of the command-line
flag you would use. Here are some of the more important ones:
- CLUSTER_TOKEN
- The token is a private key that enables different nodes to join the same cluster. All nodes of a cluster and the Cluster Manager must have the same token. We recommended that you generate a brand new token when you set up your cluster. The grb_rs token command will generate a random token, which you can copy into the configuration file.
- DB_URI
- This is the connection string to your database.
- PORT
- This property indicates what port to use for HTTP or HTTPS communication between the clients and the Cluster Manager. By default, it will use the port 61080.
- HISTORY_MAX_AGE
- This property indicates how long to keep the jobs and batches in the history. The default is 7 days.
