Configure Cluster Settings

This topic describes how to configure different cluster settings for your StreamNative Cloud clusters.

Update cluster settings

To configure the cluster configuration, you can add the key-value setting pair to the config.custom field in the PulsarCluster specification. For example, to configure the ttlDurationDefaultInSeconds setting via snctl, you can add the following to the PulsarCluster specification:

apiVersion: cloud.streamnative.io/v1alpha1
kind: PulsarCluster
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  config:
    custom:
      ttlDurationDefaultInSeconds: 10

Alternatively, you can configure the ttlDurationDefaultInSeconds setting via Terraform by adding the following to the PulsarCluster resource:

resource "streamnative_pulsar_cluster" "my-cluster" {
  name = "my-cluster"
  config = {
    custom = {
      ttlDurationDefaultInSeconds = 10
    }
    }
}
