Update Sandbox Configuration Parameters

Important

The feature on this page is no longer offered, but you can reference the legacy documentation below. See Non-Production Environments in the Cloud for details about our current offering for Alation Cloud Service customers.

Available from Sandbox version 5.1.0.136653

You can use the edit-config command with a flag to update each Sandbox configuration parameter separately.

To view detailed information about the edit-config command,

  1. Go to the alation-sandbox installation directory:

    cd /opt/alation/alation-sandbox
    
  2. To view details about the edit-config command, run it with the --help flag:

    sudo ./alation-sandbox edit-config --help
    

To set a specific parameter only, run the edit-config command with the flag that corresponds to this parameter and specifying the new value in quotation marks, for example:

sudo ./alation-sandbox edit-config --alation_sandbox.license_path "/root/alation.lic"
