Administration topics#
Once your Dell Data Analytics Engine, powered by Starburst Enterprise platform (SEP) cluster is deployed, the following sections contain the topics you need to configure and optimize your cluster.
Most configuration changes made in a YAML file for Helm Chart deployments, or in
properties files for non-Helm deployments, require a cluster restart to apply
the changes. Security-related files are an exception. Some security features and
non-properties files are refreshed without restart, and can generally be
configured with a refresh-period property that determines the interval
between automatic refreshes.
Note
We strongly suggest that you maintain a staging cluster for testing configuration changes to minimize downtime in your production environment.
Changes made through the web UI typically do not require a restart, including the following:
Web UI access control
Data products access control
Role-based access control for data sources
Login screen customizations
General configuration
Guide: Configure catalogs
Guide: Enable and configure the cache service for materialized views
