Setting a Dynamic Configuration Value

The documentation explains how to modify dynamic configuration values in LogScale using the setDynamicConfig() mutation, with important cautions about how changes take immediate effect on system operations. Multiple code examples are provided across different programming languages and platforms, including GraphQL, curl commands for various operating systems, Perl, Python, and Node.js, along with example response formats.

Important

Changing Dynamic Config settings will instantly change the configuration setting and alter the operation of your LogScale instance. Contact Support if you need advice on these settings.

To set a Dynamic Config value, use the setDynamicConfig() mutation:

Raw
graphql
mutation {
  setDynamicConfig(input: 
    { config: NAME_OF_CONFIG, 
      value: "VALUE_FOR_CONFIG" 
    }
  )
}
Mac OS or Linux (curl)
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  setDynamicConfig(input: 
    { config: NAME_OF_CONFIG, 
      value: \"VALUE_FOR_CONFIG\" 
    }
  )
}"
}
EOF
Mac OS or Linux (curl) One-line
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d @- << EOF
{"query" : "mutation {
  setDynamicConfig(input: 
    { config: NAME_OF_CONFIG, 
      value: \"VALUE_FOR_CONFIG\" 
    }
  )
}"
}
EOF
Windows Cmd and curl
shell
curl -v -X POST $YOUR_LOGSCALE_URL/graphql ^
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" ^
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
    -d @'{"query" : "mutation { ^
