List of Configuration Properties | CloverDX 5.14.3 Documentation

Below you can find the configuration properties available in CloverDX Server. The properties can be configured using the Setup GUI or by directly editing one of the several configuration sources.

In CloverDX Server UI, you can view the properties and their values in Configuration > CloverDX Info > Server Properties.

Additional properties used for Cluster configuration can be found in Cluster Configuration.

Configuration property and system property are not the same. Configuration properties can be configured in Setup section or in cloverdx.properties file. System properties serve to configure the JVM. E.g. in Apache Tomcat, they are configured in bin/setenv.[bat|sh] file using -D prefix.

Table 7. General configuration
Key	Description	Default Value
Configuration
clover.config.file	Absolute path to location of a CloverDX Server configuration file	/absolute/path/to/cloverServer.properties
configuration.autoimport.file	Absolute path to an XML file containing exported CloverDX Server configuration (users, schedulers, event listeners, data services, etc.). If the property is set and the target file exists, it is automatically imported during the first startup with an empty database. Any error during the import causes CloverDX Server startup to fail. The property is not set by default.	empty
clover.home	By default, this property is commented out and has a dynamically computed value: path containing `CloverETL` value for pre 5.0 installations and `CloverDX` for 5.0 and newer installations. If defined by the user, value has a higher priority. The property can be overridden using: environment variable `clover.clover.home` context parameter `<Parameter name="clover.home">` or system property `-Dclover.clover.home=`	${user.data.home}/CloverETL or ${user.data.home}/CloverDX
License
license.file	Absolute path to location of a CloverDX Server license file (license.dat)
license.context_names	A comma-separated list of web-app contexts which may contain license. Each of them has to start with a slash! Works only on Apache Tomcat.	/clover-license,/clover_license
Engine
engine.config.file	location of a CloverDX engine configuration properties file	properties file packed with CloverDX
engine.plugins.additional.src	This property may contain an absolute path to some "source" of additional CloverDX engine plugins. These plugins are not a substitute for plugins packed in WAR. "Source" may be a directory or a zip file. Both, a directory and a zip, must contain a subdirectory for each plugin. Changes in the directory or the ZIP file apply only when the server is restarted. For details see Extensibility - CloverDX Engine Plugins.	empty
Sandboxes
sandboxes.home	This property is primarily intended to be used as a placeholder in the sandbox root path specification. So the sandbox path is specified with the placeholder and it’s resolved to the real path just before it’s used. The sandbox path may still be specified as an absolute path, but placeholder has some significant advantages: * sandbox definition may be exported/imported to another environment with a different directory structure * user creating sandboxes doesn’t have to care about physical location on the filesystem * each node in Cluster environment may have a different "sandboxes.home" value, so the directory structure doesn’t have to be identical For backward compatibility, the default value uses the content of the clover.home configuration property.	${clover.home}/sandboxes
sandboxes.access.check.boundaries.enabled	true \| false If it is set to false, then the path relative to a sandbox root may point out of the sandbox. No file/folder outside of the sandbox is accessible by the relative path otherwise.	true
sandboxes.autoimport	If enabled, the Server scans the `${sandboxes.home}` directory during the first start with an empty database and imports all subdirectories as shared sandboxes. It skips hidden directories (e.g. `.git`).	false
Libraries
libraries.home	The storage for unpacked Libraries. It must be accessible from all cluster nodes, so by default, it is a sub-directory of `${sandboxes.home}`, which contains shared Sandboxes.	${sandboxes.home}/libraries
Database connection
datasource.type	Set this explicitly to JNDI if you need CloverDX Server to connect to a DB using JNDI datasource. In such case, "datasource.jndiName" and "jdbc.dialect" parameters must be set properly. Possible values: JNDI \| JDBC	JDBC
datasource.jndiName	JNDI location of a DB DataSource. It is applied only if "datasource.type" is set to "JNDI".	java:comp/env/jdbc/clover_server
jdbc.driverClassName	class name for JDBC driver name
jdbc.url	JDBC URL used by CloverDX Server to store data
jdbc.username	JDBC database user name
jdbc.password	JDBC database password
jdbc.dialect	hibernate dialect to use in ORM
quartz.driverDelegateClass	SQL dialect for quartz. Value is automatically derived from "jdbc.dialect" property value.
Job Queue
jobqueue.enabled	Enables/disables the job queue. See Job Queue for more details about job queue.	true
jobqueue.dataservice.enabled	Enables/disables processing of Data Services by the job queue. By default Data Services are not processed by the job queue, see Job Queue Impact for more details.	false
jobqueue.systemCpuLimit	System CPU load that is considered high and job queue will start enqueuing jobs, see Job Queue Load Metrics for more details. The value 0.85 means 85% system CPU load. This property can be used to tweak the CPU load threshold from which jobs will be enqueued.	0.85
jobqueue.coreHeapUsageLimit	Usage of JVM heap memory in Server Core that is considered high and job queue will enter emergency mode, see Job Queue Emergency Mode for more details. The value 0.9 means 90% use of heap memory. This property can be used to tweak the Server Core heap memory usage threshold from which job queue will enter emergency mode.	0.9
jobqueue.workerHeapUsageLimit	Usage of JVM heap memory in Worker that is considered high and job queue will enter emergency mode, see Job Queue Emergency Mode for more details. The value 0.9 means 90% use of heap memory. This property can be used to tweak the Worker heap memory usage threshold from which job queue will enter emergency mode.	0.9
jobqueue.maxQueueSize	Maximum number of jobs that can be enqueued at one time - i.e. the maximum size of the queue. Each enqueued job consumes a small amount of memory, this property protects the CloverDX Server from running out of memory.	100000
jobqueue.checkInterval	Time interval (in milliseconds) between each evaluation of job queue. This property defines how often the job queue processes enqueued jobs to be started, checks performance metrics etc. See Job Queue Algorithm for more details.	100
jobqueue.initialLoadStep	The job queue starts enqueued jobs in batches, and load step defines the size of the batch (i.e. number of jobs started at the same time). The load step is automatically adjusted by the job queue, and the `jobqueue.initialLoadStep` property defines the initial value of the load step. See Job Queue Algorithm for more details.	20
jobqueue.minLoadStep	The job queue starts enqueued jobs in batches, and load step defines the size of the batch (i.e. number of jobs started at the same time). The load step is automatically adjusted by the job queue, and the `jobqueue.minLoadStep` property defines the minimum value of the load step. See Job Queue Algorithm for more details.	5
jobqueue.maxLoadStep	The job queue starts enqueued jobs in batches, and load step defines the size of the batch (i.e. number of jobs started at the same time). The load step is automatically adjusted by the job queue, and the `jobqueue.maxLoadStep` property defines the maximum value of the load step. See Job Queue Algorithm for more details.	300
Security
openssh.config.file	Specifies the location of the OpenSSH configuration file which allows you to define SSH access outside of CloverDX Server. The path to the file is `~/path/to/.ssh/ssh_config` There is no default file; therefore, without proper specification, no configuration file is loaded.
private.properties	List of properties and environment variables to be masked in the web UI, because they contain secrets. `*` and `?` wildcards are supported. Note that the properties are also masked when accessed via the ServerFacade (e.g. from Groovy code). Changes in this list may cause unexpected behavior of server APIs that use the facade internally.	password, security.secure_passwd.table.secure_passwd, cluster.jgroups.protocol.AUTH.value
security.session.validity	Session validity in milliseconds. When the request of logged-in user/client is detected, validity is automatically prolonged.	14400000

The list has form of semicolon separated items; Each feature is specified by its servlet path.	/request_processor;/simpleHttpApi;/downloadStorage;/downloadFile;/uploadSandboxFile;/downloadLog;/webdav
security.basic_authentication.realm	Realm string for HTTP Basic Authentication.	CloverDX Server
security.digest_authentication.features_list	List of features which are accessible using HTTP and which should be protected by HTTP Digest Authentication. The list has form of semi-colon separated items. Each feature is specified by its servlet path. Please keep in mind that HTTP Digest Authentication is feature added to the version 3.1. If you upgraded your older CloverDX Server distribution, users created before the upgrade cannot use the HTTP Digest Authentication until they reset their passwords. So when they reset their passwords (or the admin does it for them), they can use Digest Authentication as well as new users.
security.digest_authentication.storeA1.enabled	Switch whether the A1 Digest for HTTP Digest Authentication should be generated and stored or not. Since there is no CloverDX Server API using the HTTP Digest Authentication by default, it’s recommended to keep it disabled. This option is not automatically enabled when any feature is specified in the security.digest_authentication.features_list property.	false
security.digest_authentication.realm	Realm string for HTTP Digest Authentication. If it is changed, all users have to reset their passwords, otherwise they won’t be able to access the server features protected by HTTP digest Authentication.	CloverDX Server
security.digest_authentication.nonce_validity	Interval of validity for HTTP Digest Authentication specified in seconds. When the interval passes, server requires new authentication from the client. Most of the HTTP clients do it automatically.	300
security.lockout.login.attempts	The number of failed login attempts after which a next failed login attempt will lock the user. Set the value to 0 to disable the function. Since 4.8.0M1.	5
security.lockout.reset.period	Period of time in seconds during which the failed login attempts are counted. Since 4.8.0M1.	300

webDav.method.propfind.maxDepth	Maximum depth for webDAV method PROPFIND. When the depth is not specified, the default is supposed to be infinite (according to the rfc2518), however it’s necessary to set some limit, otherwise the webDav client might overload the server filesystem. Also if the depth value specified by webDAV client in the request is higher than the pre-configured max depth, only the pre-configured maximum is used.	40
rest.api.absoluteUrls	Whether REST API returns absolute URLs to resources. By default it returns absolute URLs (e.g. `http://example.com:8080/clover/api/rest/v1/dashboards/1/monitors/191`) that contain the full hostname. Absolute URLs are easier to use, but in some cases they might not be correct, e.g. in case of connecting through a load balancer. In such case it is possible to set this property to `false` and the REST API will return relative URLs, e.g. `/clover/api/rest/v1/dashboards/1/monitors/191`.	true
JVM
server.env.min_heap_memory	Sets the required minimal heap memory threshold. If the configuration of CloverDX Server is set to less heap memory, a warning is displayed. Experienced users can change the default value to avoid the warning when running the server on a system with lower memory. The threshold is in megabytes.	900
server.env.min_nonheap_memory	Sets the required minimal non-heap memory threshold. If the configuration of CloverDX Server is set to less non-heap memory, a warning is displayed.

clover.inDevelopment	Displays/hides the debug window.	false
cluster.node.sendinfo.stats.interval	The maximum time interval (in hours) for which the data in Performance Tab is recorded. Note: longer time intervals increase Server memory consumption and may increase latency when using Server GUI.	24
task.jms.callback.timeout	A JMS Message Listener property. Sets the time (in milliseconds) for which a JMS message listener waits for a triggered task to finish. After this time, the listener continues in processing the next message from the source queue/topic.	3600000 (1 hour)
webGui.instance.color	Sets the background color of the Instance Indicator. Possible values are: `green`, `blue`, `yellow` and `red`. If a wrong value is set, the color is inherited from the GUI’s header. For the changes to take effect, you must log out and then back in the Server.
webGui.instance.label	Sets the label of the Instance Indicator. Note that too long label will be cropped in the GUI. For the changes to take effect, you must log out and then back in the Server.
autoapply.sys.db.patches	Value of the property is a version number. If the version of CloverDX Server you are upgrading to is equal or less than the version, database patching will be started automatically. Otherwise a user approval is required. Example `autoapply_sys_db_patches=5.7 or autoapply.sys.db.patches=99.9.`.

operations.dashboard.request.timeout	Timeout for HTTP requests from the Operations Dashboard to the REST API, in milliseconds.	30000

Worker - Configuration Properties

Table 8. Server - Worker configuration
Key	Description	Default Value
worker.initialWorkers	Enable/disable the Worker. To enable Worker, set to 1 (this is the default). To disable Worker and run all jobs in Core Server, set to 0. Starting more than one Worker is currently (in 4.9.0) not supported.	1
worker.portRange	Port range used for communication between Server Core and Worker and between Workers on different Cluster nodes. Communication between Server Core and Worker is done on localhost. Workers on different Cluster nodes communicate directly with each other over these ports - in Cluster setup, this port range should be open in firewall for other Cluster nodes. This property can be easily configured in the Worker tab of Setup. `worker.portRange` should contain at least 5 ports for 1 node (depending on other options, a node takes at most 5 ports from the range). We recommend to use `portRange` of at least 10 ports to avoid possible problems with occupied ports after restart of Worker. If more Cluster nodes run on the same machine, make sure that there are enough free ports for Workers of all Cluster nodes on the machine. The default configuration of `worker.portRange` is sufficient for that.	10500-10600
worker.startupTimeout	Timeout before Worker startup is considered unsuccessful, after which Worker is stopped and restarted again. The timeout is in milliseconds.	90000
worker.restartDelay	Delay after Worker startup attempt ended with a failure, or a timeout, before another restart is attempted. The value is in milliseconds.	3000
worker.connectTimeout	Timeout for connection initialization between Worker and Server Core, in both directions. The timeout is in milliseconds. This setting can be useful when handling communication issues between Server Core and Worker, typically under high load you might want to increase the timeout.	60000
worker.readTimeout	Read timeout for communication requests between Worker and Server Core, in both directions. If a request is not completely served before reaching this limit, the connection is terminated. The timeout is in milliseconds. This setting can be useful when handling communication issues between Server Core and Worker, typically under high load you might want to increase the timeout.	600000
worker.classpath	A directory with additional `.jar` files to be added to the Worker’s classpath. The `.jar` files would typically be libraries used by graphs (e.g. JDBC drivers for database connections) or JDBC drivers used in JNDI connections defined in Worker (see Worker - JNDI Properties). The Worker’s classpath is separate from Server Core (i.e. application container classpath). Any libraries needed by jobs executed on Worker need to be added on the Worker’s classpath. For backward compatibility, the default value uses the content of the clover.home configuration property. The property can contain paths to multiple directories. The separator between the directories can be a colon (on Linux and Mac) or semicolon (Linux, Mac and Windows), e.g.: `worker.classpath=/home/clover/worker-lib;/opt/worker-lib-2` Some basic wildcards are supported: `directory-*` and `directory-?`.	${clover.home}/worker-lib
worker.maxHeapSize	The maximum Java heap size of Worker in MB, it will be translated to the `-Xmx` option for the Worker’s JVM. Jobs executed in the Worker require heap memory based on their complexity, dataset size, etc. See our recommendations for heap sizes of Worker and Server Core. This property can be easily configured in the Worker tab of Setup. Setting to 0 uses Java default heap size (automatically determined by Java). This setting is not recommended for production usage.	0
worker.initHeapSize	The initial Java heap size of Worker in MB, it will be translated to the `-Xms` option for the Worker’s JVM. We recommend to set this to the same value as `worker.maxHeapSize` This property can be easily configured in the Worker tab of Setup. Setting to 0 uses Java default initial heap size (automatically determined by Java). This setting is not recommended for production usage.	0
worker.jvmOptions	Adds Java command line options for the Worker’s JVM. This property is useful to tweak the configuration of the Worker’s JVM, e.g. to tune garbage collector settings. These command line options override default options of the JVM. For example to enable parallel garbage collector: `-XX:+UseParallelGC`. See Additional Diagnostic Tools section for useful options for troubleshooting and debugging Worker. This property can be easily configured in the Worker tab of Setup.
worker.enableDebug	Remote Java debugging of Worker, enables JDWP. Enabling this allows you to connect a Java debugger remotely to the running Worker process, to debug your Java transformations, investigate issues, etc. The port used by the debugger is determined dynamically and can be seen in the Worker section of the Monitoring or Setup page.	false
worker.inheritSystemProperties	Sets whether system Java properties are inherited from the Server Core process to the Worker process. We automatically inherit some system properties to simplify the Worker configuration. For the list of system Java properties inherited from the Server Core to Worker, see properties passed from Server Core if worker.inheritSystemProperties is true. This functionality is enabled by default. Use this property to disable this behavior in case some of the inherited properties would cause issues.	true
worker.javaExecutable	Absolute path to the Java binary for Worker process, e.g. `/user/local/java/bin/java`. Use this property if you need to use a specific Java binary for running the Worker. Note: Make sure that Worker uses the same major Java version as the Server Core (e.g. Java 11). Using different major Java versions is not supported.	Value is automatically determined based on $JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Worker Health Related Properties

Below is a list of properties defining timeouts and limits related to the Worker’s health.

For Expert Users Only

These properties are for expert users only. Default values should be sufficient. Modification of the values could conceal the real cause of the problem; therefore, we strongly discourage users from changing the values.

Table 9. General configuration
Key	Description	Default Value
worker.health.heartbeatTimeout	Time before Worker is pronounced unresponsive because of a missing heartbeat (in milliseconds).	120000
worker.health.workerToCoreTimeout	Time before Worker is pronounced unresponsive because it is not sending any information to Server Core (in milliseconds).	60000
worker.health.coreToWorkerTimeout	Time before Worker is pronounced unresponsive because all requests are failing (i.e. throwing exceptions) (in milliseconds).	60000
worker.health.coreToWorkerErrorThreshold	Number of requests in a row which must fail to pronounce Worker unresponsive (amount of failures).	30
worker.heartbeat.connectTimeout	Timeout for connection initialization from Worker to Server Core. Connection is used to send Worker heartbeat. The timeout is in milliseconds.	5000
worker.heartbeat.readTimeout	Read timeout for communication requests from Worker to Server Core. Connection is used to send Worker heartbeat. The timeout is in milliseconds.	5000

Worker - JNDI Properties

The Worker has its own JNDI pool separate from the application container JNDI pool. If your jobs use JNDI resources (to obtain JDBC or JMS connections), you have to configure the Worker’s JNDI pool and its resources.

The worker JNDI properties must be configured using the clover.properties configuration file. Libraries used by the JNDI resources must be added to the Worker’s classpath, see worker.classpath.

It is possible to define multiple datasources pointing to different databases or JMS queues, see examples below. The datasources are indexed in configuration, their properties have suffix [0], [1], etc. Even a single datasource must have the [0] index.

JDBC Datasources

Worker uses the Apache DBCP2 pool for its JNDI functionality. Any DBCP2 configuration attribute is supported, see DBCP attributes. The only mandatory properties are jndiName and url.

See table below for basic JNDI properties.

You can monitor the state of the datasources via JMX. See Additional Diagnostic Tools for details on how to enable JMX on Worker. Then you can connect to the Worker’s JMX interface with tools like jconsole and monitor the JNDI datasources, e.g. for the number of currently open connections. The related MBeans are under the Tomcat/DataSource/localhost///javax.sql.DataSource path:

Figure 54. MBean for a JNDI datasource in jconsole

Table 10. Properties for JDBC JNDI Resources in Worker
Key	Description	Example
worker.jndi.datasource[0].jndiName	The name of the JNDI datasource. Mandatory.	jdbc/database_name
worker.jndi.datasource[0].url	The JDBC connection URL. Mandatory.	jdbc:postgresql://hostname:5432/database_name

worker.jndi.datasource[0].password	The password for a database connection. The password value can be encrypted using the secure configuration tool, see Secure Configuration Properties.	clover
worker.jndi.datasource[0].driverClassName	The database driver classname. The database driver must be on the Worker classpath, see worker.classpath.	org.postgresql.Driver
worker.jndi.datasource[0].maxIdle	The maximum number of idle database connections in a pool. Set to -1 for no limit.	10
worker.jndi.datasource[0].maxTotal	The maximum number of database connections in a pool. Set to -1 for no limit.	20

JMS Connections

Worker can use any JMS broker to define JMS connections in JNDI. Any JMS broker configuration attribute is supported. The mandatory properties are jndiName, factory and type. See table below for basic JNDI properties for JMS resources.

Table 11. Properties for JMS JNDI Resources in Worker
Key	Description	Example
worker.jndi.jms[0].jndiName	The name of the JNDI JMS resource. Mandatory.	`jms/jms_queue`
worker.jndi.jms[0].factory	Factory class for creating the JMS resource. This is JMS broker specific. Mandatory.	`org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory`
worker.jndi.jms[0].type	Implementation class of the JMS resource. This is JMS broker specific. Mandatory.	`org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue`
worker.jndi.jms[0].jmsProperty	Configuration property for the JMS resource. Any configuration property supported by the JMS broker can be used.	`worker.jndi.jms[0].brokerUrl`.

The following example shows configuration of several JMS resources.

worker.jndi.jms[0].jndiName=jms/CloverConnectionFactory
worker.jndi.jms[0].type=org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory
worker.jndi.jms[0].factory=org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory
worker.jndi.jms[0].brokerUrl=tcp://localhost:61616?jms.prefetchPolicy.queuePrefetch=1
worker.jndi.jms[0].brokerName=LocalActiveMQBroker

worker.jndi.jms[1].jndiName=jms/CloverQueue
worker.jndi.jms[1].type=org.apache.activemq.command.ActiveMQQueue
worker.jndi.jms[1].factory=org.apache.activemq.jndi.JNDIReferenceFactory
worker.jndi.jms[1].physicalName=TestQueue

Worker - SSL Properties

In Cluster, Workers of each node communicate with each other directly for increased performance. This communication is used to transport data of Cluster remote edges in Clustered jobs between the nodes. For increased security, it is possible to use SSL for the remote edge communication.

SSL communication between Workers needs to be enabled and configured separately from SSL of the application container that runs Server Core. The worker.ssl.enabled property is used to enable/disable SSL. If a Cluster node’s "self" URL is using HTTPS, we automatically set the property to true. Configuration of SSL consists of setting paths and passwords of KeyStore and TrustStore, see the table below for details.

Note that if the standard SSL related system properties (javax.net.ssl.keyStore, javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword, javax.net.ssl.keyAlias, javax.net.ssl.trustStore and javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword) are used to configure KeyStore/TrustStore for the Server Core, they are propagated to Worker; therefore, their respective worker.ssl properties do not need to be configured. The properties containing passwords to the keystore and truststore files are encrypted before adding to Worker’s command line. To avoid having the encrypted password properties on Worker’s command line completely, you may also specify path to a file which will be created on Worker’s start and these encrypted passwords will be stored in it (via the worker.ssl.passwordFile property).

Recommended steps to enable SSL for inter-worker communication are:

Enable SSL for each Cluster node, via the application container settings. Configure TrustStore and KeyStore via the standard javax.net.ssl.* properties.
Set cluster.http.url for each node to point to its own HTTPS URL
Check that communication between Cluster nodes over SSL works and that the nodes can correctly see each other. The Monitoring page of Server Console should show the whole Cluster group and its nodes correctly.
Worker should automatically inherit the above SSL configuration.
Run a Clustered job on Worker

Table 12. Properties for SSL communication in Worker
Key	Description	Example
worker.ssl.enabled	Enables or disables an SSL connection for Worker. Note that if the Server runs on HTTPS, SSL is enabled automatically; however, this property has a higher priority.	`true`/`false`
worker.ssl.keyStore	Absolute path to the KeyStore file.	path/to/keyStore.file
worker.ssl.keyStorePassword	The KeyStore password.
worker.ssl.keyAlias	The alias of the key in keyStore. Optional - the property does not have to be specified if there is only one key in the KeyStore.
worker.ssl.passwordFile	The absolute path to a file containing encrypted keystore and truststore passwords for Worker. Optional: by default this is not set, and the keystore and trusstore passwords are passed to Worker as command line arguments with encrypted values. Use this property to avoid having the encrypted passwords on Worker command line, but instead passed via the file.
worker.ssl.port	The port for SSL communication with Worker. The property is configured automatically and the value is set from worker.portRange.
cluster.ssl.disableCertificateValidation	Disables validation of certificates in HTTPS connections of remote edges. Disabling the validation affects jobs run on both Worker and Server Core.	`true`/`false`
