The perf.conf file controls the operation of PERF.
perf.conf specifies the version and configuration of various PERF components and features. The perf.conf file also specifies the file path to PERF directories and the PERF license file.
The perf.conf file is used by Platform Analytics and applications built on top of it. For example, information in perf.conf is used by Platform Analytics daemons and commands to locate other configuration files, executables, and services. perf.conf is updated, if necessary, when you upgrade to a new version of Platform Analytics.
After making any changes to perf.conf, run the following commands to restart the PERF services and apply your changes:
Enables data loss protection (DLP) for data loaders. If enabled, you can enable or disable data loss protection for specific data loaders in the Platform Analytics node by editing the specific data loader configuration file. If disabled, data loss protection is disabled in all data loaders in the Platform Analytics node and cannot be enabled in the specific data loader configuration file.
Specifies one or more demo or permanent license files used by Platform Analytics.
For a permanent license, the name of the license server host and TCP port number used by the lmgrd daemon, in the format port@host_name. For example:
For a license with redundant servers, use a comma to separate the port@host_names. The port number must be the same as that specified in the SERVER line of the license file. For example:
Multiple license files should be quoted and must be separated by a pipe character (|).
Multiple files may be kept in the same directory, but each one must reference a different license server. When checking out a license, Platform Analytics searches the servers in the order in which they are listed, so it checks the second server when there are no more licenses available from the first server.
If this parameter is not defined, Platform Analytics assumes the default location.
