Post Installation Tasks

After you install the Paragon Automation cluster, you can use Paragon Shell to perform the following additional optional tasks:

Install User Certificates

You can configure Paragon Automation to use custom user certificates. You can install user certificates either when you deploy the Paragon Automation cluster or post deployment.

To upload and install custom user certificates, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Linux root shell of the node from which you deployed the cluster.
  2. Copy the custom user certificate file and key file to the root/epic/config directory.
  3. Type cli to log in to Paragon Shell and type configure to enter configuration mode.
  4. Configure the following parameters, commit, and exit the configuration mode.

    Where:

    certificate.cert.pem is the user certificate filename.

    certificate.key.pem is the user certificate key filename.

  5. Regenerate the configuration files.
  6. Deploy the certificates.

Update Victoria Metrics

Update the Victoria Metrics cluster configuration parameters. Victoria-metrics is a time series database. Different microservices populate the database and query data using the APIs provided by Victoria metrics.

  1. Log in to the node from which you deployed the Paragon Automation cluster.
  2. Type configure to enter configuration mode.
  3. Update the Victoria Metrics parameters. Use the following commands.

    For more information on vm-cluster-replication-factor, vm-cluster-retention-period, and vm-cluster-storage-instances, see set paragon cluster insights victoria-metrics.
