Vertice

Available on the Open Source plans.

In order to faciliate to use our products the following informations are useful:

When you are using a single server for effecting all operations the default configuration suffices.
When you are in a position to use separate servers to run MegamVertice or encounter failures while running, the following configurations are to be changed.

The following are the main components which are to be changed:

Console (UI - Nilavu)
API - gateway
Omni scheduler - vertice

Changing components

The main options to change are in the following files:

Change details for the UI /var/lib/megam/nilavu.conf
Change SSL certificate to enable HTTPS /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
Change details for the API /var/lib/megam/verticegateway/gateway.conf
Change details for the Omni scheduler /var/lib/megam/vertice/vertice.conf

Go to


$ cd /var/lib/megam

Configure /var/lib/megam/nilavu.conf

/var/lib/megam/site_settings.yaml file is self explanatory, tweak as you wish.

/var/lib/megam/nilavu.conf


## api host that the UI will connect to

http_api = http://localhost:9000/v2

## log streamer that the UI will connect to.
## we need to turn on https, in such case replace it as wss

log_server = ws://localhost:7777/logs

## shell is a host that the nilavu will connect to for container shell prombt
shell_server = ws://localhost:7777

### vnc server that the UI will connect to.
## we need to turn on https, in such case replace it as wss

vnc_server = ws://localhost:8000

## we need to turn on https, in such case replace it as https
google_js_uri = http://www.google.com/jsapi?ext.js

Configure /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

Replace your server_name.
uncomment SSL certificate to point your own SSL certificate.


## change server_name to point your server_name
server_name console.megam.io;

## To enable HTTPS - uncomment ssl certificate to point your own certificate.
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/console.megam.io.cer;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/private/console.megam.io.key;

Configure /var/lib/megam/verticegateway/gateway.conf

Update base.cql file in cassandra


 cqlsh -f base.cql

Enable password-auth in cassandra

Open the file /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml in your favourite EDITOR.

Lets use nano


$ nano  /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml

Change authenticator “AllowAllAuthenticator” to “PasswordAuthenticator”.
Change authorizer “AllowAllAuthorizer” to “CassandraAuthorizer”


  # - AllowAllAuthenticator performs no checks - set it to disable authentication.
  # - PasswordAuthenticator relies on username/password pairs to authenticate
  #   users. It keeps usernames and hashed passwords in system_auth.credentials table.
  #   Please increase system_auth keyspace replication factor if you use this authenticator.
  #   If using PasswordAuthenticator, CassandraRoleManager must also be used (see below)
  authenticator: PasswordAuthenticator

  # - AllowAllAuthorizer allows any action to any user - set it to disable authorization.
  # - CassandraAuthorizer stores permissions in system_auth.permissions table. Please
  #   increase system_auth keyspace replication factor if you use this authorizer.
  authorizer: CassandraAuthorizer

Restart the cassandra (in all operating systems)


$ service cassandra restart
