Redis Sentinel Operation

Use the Redis Sentinel API to get information about the Redis nodes, test failover, and reconfigure Sentinel at
runtime, among other tasks. For more information, see https://redis.io/topics/sentinel.

Logging

Logs for Redis, HAProxy, and HST Server are found in the following locations:
Redis database: /opt/aspera/etc/redis_31415.log or syslog, depending on the Redis configuration.
Redis Sentinel: /opt/aspera/etc/redis_sentinel.log
HAProxy and HST Server: /var/log/haproxy.log

Asconfigurator Reference

The asconfigurator Utility

The asconfigurator utility is a command-line tool for interacting with aspera.conf, the file that holds most
configuration settings for your Aspera transfer server. asconfigurator comes bundled with your installation of
Enterprise Server, Connect Server, and Point-to-Point Client.
Why Use asconfigurator?
Because aspera.conf is an XML file, users can configure their transfer server by editing the file directly.
However, editing the file manually can be cumbersome and error-prone because correct syntax and structure are
strictly enforced. The asconfigurator utility enables you to edit aspera.conf through commands and parses,
validates and writes well-formed XML while also confirming that the values entered for parameters are valid.
With asconfigurator, you can edit aspera.conf quickly and safely, with one or two commands.
After Editing aspera.conf
Whether you use asconfigurator or manually edit aspera.conf, the file must be re-read and certain services
restarted in order for the changes to take effect. For detailed information, see the Administrator's Guide: Restarting
Aspera Services for your Aspera transfer server.

Syntax and Usage

General Syntax
# asconfigurator -x "command[;parameter,value;parameter,value]"
The command is either a set command for setting a configuration or a delete command for removing a
configuration. For any command you may enter one or more set of parameters and values separated by semicolons.
Note: The user executing asconfigurator commands must meet the following requirements:
• Have write access to aspera.conf.
• Not be configured to use a shell that restricts command usage (aspshell does not allow the use of
asconfigurator).
