Storage Connector configuration parameters

All Syncplicity Customers who have StorageVaults either on-premises or in their own private cloud need upgrade to Storage Connector version 3.3x or later by July 1, 2021See Checking Storage Connector version and our community post for detailed information.

This information provides an overview of the Storage Connector configuration settings. Some settings are required, others can be used to configure your Storage Connector instances environment and needs, or to assist in troubleshooting activities when advised by Syncplicity support.

The properties for all storage types have the following format: syncplicity.storage.<storage_type_name>.<bucket_name>.<property_name>

  • storage_type_name can be any of the storage types that Syncplicity supports
  • bucket_name is optional and can be data,  imageirm or archive.  Those as separated, as 
  • property_name is the name of the specific property, for example, host

These properties are cascading, meaning that common values can be configured on the top level property (e.g. syncplicity.storage.atmos.url) . That value will be used for the different storage sections (syncplicity.storage.atmos.data.url), unless specified there.

If you do not specify a value in the bucket_name subsection, Storage Connector uses a generic value syncplicity.storage.<storage_type_name>.<property_name> for all storage properties that do not have a specified bucket. 

If you specify a bucket name, the value of the property after the bucket name overrides the value of the generic property; the value used is syncplicity.storage.<storage type>.<bucket type>.<property_name>.

Configuration for Storage Connector version 2.22.2 or older

The settings of Storage Connector 2.22.x are stored in file /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.conf. This file is written in HOCON format. See Using HOCON for reference.

To edit the file, type the following command in the console:

sudo vi /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.conf

In this version, the config properties can be overridden. In the following config example the effective setting is the second (last) one.

syncplicity.ws.proxy.enable=true
...
syncplicity.ws.proxy.enable=false

Configuration for Storage Connector version 3.2.0 or newer

The settings of Storage Connector 3.2.x are stored in file /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.yml. This file is written in YAML format. 

To edit the file, type the following command in the console:

sudo vi /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.yml

In this version the properties cannot be overridden. Yaml file format does not allow duplicate entries.

Setting change history

Version 2.22.2

The default value for syncplicity.ws.corsexposeheaders has been modified from Accusoft-Data-Encrypted, Accusoft-Data-SK, Syncplicity-Chunk-Size, Etag to Accusoft-Data-Encrypted, Accusoft-Data-SK, Syncplicity-Chunk-Size, Etag, Range.

Version 3.1.0

The default value of syncplicity.ws.corsheaders has been modified: added Syncplicity-IRM-Config-Token

Version 3.2.0

A number of property names have been changed. See the table below for details.  The following file types are deprecated: isilon and vnx.

Version 3.2.3

New property added: syncplicity.security.obfuscateFilenames. When enabled, names of the files will not appear in the Storage Connector logs.

Version 3.3.0

Added new properties for bulk download feature: syncplicity.storage.<storage_type_name>.archive.* and syncplicity.bulkdownload.* .

Version 3.3.1

New property added: syncplicity.storage.fs.fsTimeout. For NFS storage types it enables you to modify the maximum wait time to read data from the mount point before returning an error.

List of configuration properties

The following table contains descriptions of the properties that you can modify. If the Required column for a property contains Y, the property is required and you must supply a value for it.

Column Setting in Version 3.2 contains only the names of the properties that were changed. The names of all other properties are the same as in version 2.22.2

Do not modify any properties in the syncp-storage.conf file or the syncp-storage.yml file that are not listed below unless you are explicitly instructed to do so by Syncplicity Support.

Whenever string property values are set in syncp-storage.yml, they should be surrounded with double quotation marks ("). This is especially important when the value contains one of the following symbols: :-{}[]!#|>&%@
