Settings Page

The Settings page enables AtScale admins to manage system aggregation modes and global settings repositories. You can access the Settings page by clicking Settings in the main navigation bar.

note

The Settings page is only accessible by users with the superuser_user role, which is automatically granted to admin and application_admin users.

The Settings page contains two tabs: User Settings and Global Settings, which are described below.

User Settings tab​

The User Settings tab controls different aggregate modes you can put AtScale in for a set period of time. These modes only apply to the current user, with some exceptions as noted below.

  • Enable Training Mode turns on Training Mode for aggregates. Training Mode enables you to generate demand-defined aggregates by running queries representative of those that analysts will issue.

    Note

    When Traning Mode is enabled, queries issued from BI tools (from any user) will not return any data.

  • Disable Aggregate Usage disables the use of system- and user-generated aggregates, so you can query the underlying tables. Aggregates may still be generated based on query activity.

  • Disable Aggregate Generation turns off aggregate generation, so no new aggregates are created. Existing aggregates are still used for queries.

Global Settings tab​

The Global Settings tab enables AtScale admins to manage global settings repositories and view all currently-configured global setting overrides.

The table contains the following information:

  • The first column displays all current overrides, meaning all overrides that have been committed to the default branch of the global settings repository and applied.

  • The second column displays any overrides in the global_settings.yml file that have been committed to the default branch but not yet applied. You can click Apply Settings to apply incoming changes.

    note

    The Apply Settings button only appears when you have changes to the global settings file that have been committed but not yet applied.

  • The third column displays the overridden settings' default values.
