2.3. Changing the Data Warehouse Sampling Scale
2.3. Changing the Data Warehouse Sampling Scale Data Warehouse is required in Red Hat Virtualization. It can be installed and configured on the same machine as the Manager, or on a separate machine with access to the Manager. The default data retention settings may not be required for all setups, so engine-setup offers two data sampling scales: Basic and Full . Full uses the default values for the data retention settings listed in Application Settings for the Data Warehouse service (recommended when Data Warehouse is installed on a remote host). Basic reduces the values of DWH_TABLES_KEEP_HOURLY to 720 and DWH_TABLES_KEEP_DAILY to 0 , easing the load on the Manager machine. Use Basic when the Manager and Data Warehouse are installed on the same machine. The sampling scale is configured by engine-setup during installation: --== MISC CONFIGURATION ==-- Please choose Data Warehouse sampling scale: (1) Basic (2) Full (1, 2)[1]: You can change the sampling scale later by running engine-setup again with the --reconfigure-dwh-scale option. Changing the Data Warehouse Sampling Scale You can also adjust individual data retention settings if necessary, as documented in Application Settings for the Data Warehouse service .
--== MISC CONFIGURATION ==-- Please choose Data Warehouse sampling scale: (1) Basic (2) Full (1, 2)[1]: engine-setup --reconfigure-dwh-scale [...] Setup can automatically configure the firewall on this system. Note: automatic configuration of the firewall may overwrite current settings. Do you want Setup to configure the firewall? (Yes, No) [Yes]: [...] Perform full vacuum on the oVirt engine history database ovirt_engine_history@localhost? This operation may take a while depending on this setup health and the configuration of the db vacuum process. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/static/sql-vacuum.html (Yes, No) [No]: [...] Setup can backup the existing database. The time and space required for the database backup depend on its size. This process takes time, and in some cases (for instance, when the size is few GBs) may take several hours to complete. If you choose to not back up the database, and Setup later fails for some reason, it will not be able to restore the database and all DWH data will be lost. Would you like to backup the existing database before upgrading it? (Yes, No) [Yes]: [...] Please choose Data Warehouse sampling scale: (1) Basic (2) Full (1, 2)[1]: 2 [...] During execution engine service will be stopped (OK, Cancel) [OK]: [...] Please confirm installation settings (OK, Cancel) [OK]:
