Configuring Custom Properties for Privacera Services¶

This guide describes how to configure custom properties for Privacera services such as auditserver, dataserver, and others. These custom configuration files allow you to override default settings to meet specific environmental or operational requirements.

Location for Custom Properties¶

All custom property files must be placed within the following directory on the Privacera Manager host:

Text Only
1	`privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-properties/`

Examples of correct file placement:¶

Text Only
1 2	`privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-properties/audit-custom.properties privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-properties/dataserver-custom.properties`

Steps to Add Custom Properties¶

To configure and apply custom properties for Privacera services, follow these steps:

1. Connect to the Server¶

SSH into the machine where Privacera Manager is installed.

Bash
1	`ssh <your-server>`

2. Navigate to the Configuration Directory¶

Bash
1	`cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config`

3. Create the `custom-properties` Folder (if it doesn't exist)¶

Bash
1	`mkdir -p custom-properties`

4. Create or Edit the Custom Properties File¶

For example, to configure the auditserver:

Bash
1	`vi custom-properties/audit-custom.properties`

Add your required custom properties. For example:

Properties
audit.destination.enabled=true
audit.destination.type=hdfs

Repeat this process for other Privacera services as needed, ensuring you use the correct filename as outlined in the table below.

Service	Custom Properties File
auditserver	audit-custom.properties
dataserver	dataserver-custom.properties
databricks	databricks-custom.properties
discovery	discovery-custom.properties
discovery-consumer	discovery-consumer-custom.properties
ops-server	ops-server-custom.properties
pegV2	pegv2-custom.properties
pkafka	pkafka-custom.properties
portal	portal-custom.properties
privacera-services	privacera-services-custom.properties
privacera-usersync	usersync-custom.properties
ranger-admin	ranger-admin-custom.properties
ranger-tagsync	ranger-tagsync-custom.properties
ranger-usersync	ranger-usersync-custom.properties
scheme-server	scheme-server-custom.properties

Deploy Your Changes¶

After creating or modifying the custom property files, deploy the changes by following the standard Privacera deployment procedure:

1. Generate Helm Charts¶

Bash
cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager
./privacera-manager.sh setup

2. Apply the Configuration¶

Bash
1	`./pm_with_helm.sh upgrade`

3. Run Post-Installation Tasks (if needed)¶

Bash
1	`./privacera-manager.sh post-install`

Upon completion of these steps, the custom properties defined in the respective service-specific files will be applied to your Privacera deployment.
