If you have multiple applications, you can run the code checkout script multiple times, each with a different value for the 'Application Name' input, so each application will be stored in a unique directory. This must be a valid directory name. Do not use symbols in the name. Example: myapp

Backup Cron Hour (1)

Defines the hour when the backup will be taken. Use a value of 1-24, or set to 'Ignore' to create a backup every hour. Example: 10

Backup Cron Hour (2)

Defines the hour when the backup will be taken. Use a value of 1-24, or set to 'Ignore' to create a backup every hour. Example: 10

Backup Lineage (1)

The name associated with your primary and secondary database backups. It's used to associate them with your database environment for maintenance, restore, and replication purposes. Backup snapshots will automatically be tagged with this value (e.g. rs_backup:lineage=mysqlbackup). Backups are identified by their lineage name. Note: For servers running on Rackspace, this value also indicates the Cloud Files container to use for storing primary backups. If a Cloud Files container with this name does not already exist, one will automatically be created. Example: prod_db_lineage

Backup Lineage (2)

The name associated with your primary and secondary database backups. It's used to associate them with your database environment for maintenance, restore, and replication purposes. Backup snapshots will automatically be tagged with this value (e.g. rs_backup:lineage=mysqlbackup). Backups are identified by their lineage name. Note: For servers running on Rackspace, this value also indicates the Cloud Files container to use for storing primary backups. If a Cloud Files container with this name does not already exist, one will automatically be created. Example: prod_db_lineage

Backup Lineage Override

If defined, this will override the input defined for 'Backup Lineage' (block_device/devices/device2/backup/lineage) so that you can restore the volume from another backup that has as a different lineage name. The most recently completed snapshots will be used unless a specific timestamp value is specified for 'Restore Timestamp Override' (block_device/devices/device2/backup/timestamp_override). Example: prod_db_lienage_2

Backup Max Snapshots (1)

The maximum number of primary backups to keep in addition to those being rotated. Example: 60

Backup Max Snapshots (2)

The maximum number of primary backups to keep in addition to those being rotated. Example: 60

Backup Restore Timestamp Override (1)

Another optional variable to restore from a specific timestamp. Specify a string matching the timestamp tags on the volume snapshot set. You will need to specify the timestamp that's defined by the snapshot's tag (not name). For example, if the snapshot's tag is 'rs_backup:timestamp=1303613371' you would specify '1303613371' for this input. Example: 1303613371

Backup Restore Timestamp Override (2)

Another optional variable to restore from a specific timestamp. Specify a string matching the timestamp tags on the volume snapshot set. You will need to specify the timestamp that's defined by the snapshot's tag (not name). For example, if the snapshot's tag is 'rs_backup:timestamp=1303613371' you would specify '1303613371' for this input. Example: 1303613371

Block Device Mount Directory (1)

Client Timeout

The maximum inactivity time on the client side in milliseconds. Example: 60000

Database Schema Name

Enter the name of the database schema to which applications will connect to.The database schema should have been created when the initial database was first set up. This input will be used to set the application server's database configuration file so that applications can connect to the correct schema within the database. NOTE: LAMP servers use this input for database dump backups in order to determine which schema will be backed up. Example: mydbschema

Domain Name

The domain name that you would like this node to have. Example: example.com

Domain Search Suffix

The domain search suffix you would like this node to have. Example: example.com

Enable security updates

Unfreezes software repositories after booting and installing packages, allowing for security updates to be installed.

Ephemeral File System Type

The type of file system that will be installed on the ephemeral device. By default, this input will be set to 'xfs'. This input is ignored on Redhat and Google cloud since we do not support 'xfs' on them. The 'ext3' file system will be set up by default on Redhat and Google cloud. Example: xfs

Firewall

Enables an iptables firewall for this server which allows port 22, 80 and 443 open by default. Use the sys_firewall::setup_rule recipe to enable/disable extra ports. Example: enabled

Status Page Password

The password that is required to access the load balancer statistics report page. Example: cred:STATS_PASSWORD

Status Page Username

The username that is required to access the load balancer statistics report page. Example: cred:STATS_USER

Status URI

The URI for the load balancer statistics report page. This page lists the current session, queued session, response error, health check error, server status, etc. for each load balancer group. Example: /haproxy-status

Swap size in GB

Creates and activates a swap file based on the selected size (in GB). Note: The swap added by this file will be in addition to any swap defined in the image. Example: 1.0

Swapfile location

The location of the swap file. Example: /mnt/ephemeral/swapfile

Terminate Safety

Prevents the accidental running of the block_device::do_teminate_server recipe.The recipe will only run if the input variable is overridden and set to "off". Example: text:off

Timezone

Sets the system time to the timezone of the specified input, which must be a valid zoneinfo/tz database entry. If the input is 'unset' the timezone will use the 'localtime' that's defined in your RightScale account under Settings -> User Settings -> Preferences tab. You can find a list of valid examples from the timezone pulldown bar in the Preferences tab. Example: US/Pacific

Total Volume Size (1)

Defines the total size of the LVM volume stripe set (in GB). For example, if the stripe_count is '3' and you specify '3' for this input, it will create an LVM volume stripe that contains 3 volumes that are each 1 GB in size. If an uneven ratio is defined, volume sizes will be rounded up to the nearest whole integer. Ignored on clouds that do not support volumes (e.g., Rackspace). Example: 10

Total Volume Size (2)

Defines the total size of the LVM volume stripe set (in GB). For example, if the stripe_count is '3' and you specify '3' for this input, it will create an LVM volume stripe that contains 3 volumes that are each 1 GB in size. If an uneven ratio is defined, volume sizes will be rounded up to the nearest whole integer. Ignored on clouds that do not support volumes (e.g., Rackspace). Example: 10

Use Session Stickiness

Determines session stickiness. Set to 'True' to use session stickiness, where the load balancer will reconnect a session to the last server it was connected to (via a cookie). Set to 'False' if you do not want to use sticky sessions; the load balancer will establish a connection with the next available server. Example: true

Volume Type

The type of the volume - SATA or SSD. This attribute is supported only on Rackspace Open Cloud. Example: SATA
