Modify aspera.conf File to Support Stats Collector

The stats collector requires a node's aspera.conf file to enable persistent storage before it can begin to gather statistics from that node. You can find aspera.conf on the node machine at: /opt/aspera/etc/aspera.conf

  1. In the <central_server> section, set <persistent_store> to enable as shown below. By default, <persistent_store> is disabled (not set).
    <central_server>
      <address>127.0.0.1</address>
      <port>40001</port>
      <compact_on_startup>enable</compact_on_startup>
      <persistent_store>enable</persistent_store>
      <persistent_store_on_error>ignore</persistent_store_on_error>
      <persistent_store_max_age>86400</persistent_store_max_age>
      <event_buffer_overrun>block</event_buffer_overrun>
    </central_server>
  2. Restart Aspera Central and Aspera NodeD services.
    # service asperacentral restart
    # service asperanoded restart
