Adding a Config value to Cloudstack
Hi Guys,
I've been trying to add a new global config to Cloudstack. I've been
following the instructions mentioned at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Configuration but
when I reinstall my Cloudstack, I don't see the setting in the
configuration table in Cloudstack. Does anyone has experience in adding
Config values?
Thanks,
-Syed

Kaushik,
I believe that was an evironmental issue. I am setting up my cloudstack
again on a different server. If I run into this problem again. I will
report back.

Yes init is destructive. Unfortunately it was the only option that I had.
Since it was a Dev env it was mostly fine.

Be careful with setting the init to false. It does lot more than just
adding new configs. I've found out that the hard way.
At least on our multiple deployments, the default networks were
recreated and user_ip_address table had duplicated ips in them, which i
had to remove manually. Not sure if anything else is (un)affected.
Didn't had the time to review what the 'init' actually does.

You pretty much have to insert it manually. You need to either make a
database migration for it, or just run a query for insert. We've run into
similar problems on our own fork, and our solution was to ensure all config
values get created on startup. This is the code we used to do it:

Re: Adding a Config value to Cloudstack

Yes, I've done exactly what you've shown here Nicolas, make the class
implement Configurable, add the getConfigKeys and created the Param.
However when I reinstall Cloudstack, the startup does not seem to pick up
the newly added config.
As a workaround, I had to reset the "init" value as "false" in the
configuration table for Cloudstack to re-read the config keys. Not the
best solution.

Re: Adding a Config value to Cloudstack
Posted by Nicolás Vázquez <ni...@gmail.com>.
Hi Syed,
You can do it using ConfigKey class
(org.apache.cloudstack.framework.config.ConfigKey)
like this:
- Define your new configuration as a variable in a class that implements
Configurable (org.apache.cloudstack.framework.config.Configurable) using
ConfigKey constructor in which you provide type, name, description, scope.
etc.
- Add your new configuration variable to getConfigKeys() return array
You can also check at this link where I had added 2 configurations on
VmwareGuru class:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1542/commits/8deb7dfc68380cfdca0eabd3cee831b8952915f3
