Cloudera Enterprise 6.0.x | Other versions

Hue Configuration Files and Safety-valves

All Hue configuration properties are stored in hue.ini but only a subset are exposed in Cloudera Manager.

Properties that are not exposed (such as the Authentication Backend for SAML) can be configured in Cloudera Manager with "safety-valves."

Configuration Files

Hue roles are configured with three .ini files that are read in order (with the last one, hue_safety_valve_server.ini, taking precedence):
  • hue.ini
  • hue_safety_valve.ini
  • hue_safety_valve_server.ini.
  Important: Do not edit the .ini files at the command line because they are stored in dynamic directories named by process ID and populated from the Cloudera Manager database.
ls -ltr /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process/`ls -valrt /var/run/cloudera-scm-agent/process | grep HUE_SERVER | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}'`


  Tip: The process directory for any given role is mirrored in Cloudera Manager. Go to Hue > Instances, select a role such as Hue Server, and then click the Processes tab.

Advanced Safety-valves

In Cloudera Manager, all Hue properties and safety-valves can be found on the tab, Hue > Configuration.

The field for hue_safety_valve.ini is service-wide and affects all Hue roles listed on the Instances tab. The field for hue_safety_valve_server.ini only affects Hue Server role instances.



Environment Safety-valves

Environment safety-valves let you configure environment variables across the service or for specific role instances. These safety-valves lack headers.
