Switching from bundled repository to external repository

Switching from bundled repository to external repository

In the case of a cloud environment, you can switch to an external repository. 

  1. Export data from bundled Postgres.

  2. Import the data exported from step #1 above, in the new Postgres instance (AWS RDS or Azure Postgres) running on the cloud.

  3. On the Kyvos Manager, navigate to Utilities > Manage Kyvos Repository.

  4. On the page, select the External Repository option (by default, the Bundled Postgres-Server is selected)  

  5. Enter details as:

Note

  • Ensure that the Role attached on the Kyvos Manager node has sufficient permission to get External repository details.

  • In case fetch for details of the external repository fails, then manually provide the necessary details of the external repository (endpoint and port).

  1. Click the Automatically Start or Stop checkbox.

Note
Select this checkbox when your repository is not shared (only Kyvos is using this repository). If your repository is shared and it is being used by any other service, you must not select this checkbox.

  1. Perform repository connection validation using Test Connection link.
    NOTE: In case of any problem with the test connection, you will see an error message. Fix those problems before proceeding with switching the repository.

  2. Once the connection is validated successfully, click the Save button. This will configure new Postgres as a repository for Kyvos.

  3. Restart the Analytical Server service.
