PD Configuration Flags

PD is configurable using command-line flags and environment variables.

--advertise-client-urls

  • The advertise URL list for client traffic from outside
  • Default: ${client-urls}
  • If the client cannot connect to PD through the default listening client URLs, you must manually set the advertise client URLs explicitly.
  • For example, the internal IP address of Docker is 172.17.0.1, while the IP address of the host is 192.168.100.113 and the port mapping is set to -p 2379:2379. In this case, you can set --advertise-client-urls to "http://192.168.100.113:2379". The client can find this service through "http://192.168.100.113:2379".

--advertise-peer-urls

  • The advertise URL list for peer traffic from outside
  • Default: ${peer-urls}
  • If the peer cannot connect to PD through the default listening peer URLs, you must manually set the advertise peer URLs explicitly.
  • For example, the internal IP address of Docker is 172.17.0.1, while the IP address of the host is 192.168.100.113 and the port mapping is set to -p 2380:2380. In this case, you can set --advertise-peer-urls to "http://192.168.100.113:2380". The other PD nodes can find this service through "http://192.168.100.113:2380".

--client-urls

  • The listening URL list for client traffic
  • Default: "http://127.0.0.1:2379"
  • To deploy a cluster, you must use --client-urls to specify the IP address of the current host, such as "http://192.168.100.113:2379". If the cluster runs on Docker, specify the IP address of Docker as "http://0.0.0.0:2379".

--peer-urls

  • The listening URL list for peer traffic
  • Default: "http://127.0.0.1:2380"
  • To deploy a cluster, you must use --peer-urls to specify the IP address of the current host, such as "http://192.168.100.113:2380". If the cluster runs on Docker, specify the IP address of Docker as "http://0.0.0.0:2380".

--config

  • The configuration file
  • Default: ""
  • If you set the configuration using the command line, the same setting in the configuration file will be overwritten.

--data-dir

  • The path to the data directory
  • Default: "default.${name}"

--initial-cluster

  • The initial cluster configuration for bootstrapping

  • Default: "{name}=http://{advertise-peer-url}"

  • For example, if name is "pd", and advertise-peer-urls is "http://192.168.100.113:2380", the initial-cluster is "pd=http://192.168.100.113:2380".

  • If you need to start three PD servers, the initial-cluster might be:

    pd1=http://192.168.100.113:2380, pd2=http://192.168.100.114:2380, pd3=192.168.100.115:2380

--join

  • Join the cluster dynamically
  • Default: ""
  • If you want to join an existing cluster, you can use --join="${advertise-client-urls}", the advertise-client-url is any existing PD's, multiply advertise client urls are separated by comma.

-L

  • The log level
  • Default: "info"
  • You can choose from debug, info, warn, error, or fatal.

--log-file

  • The log file
  • Default: ""
  • If this flag is not set, logs will be written to stderr. Otherwise, logs will be stored in the log file which will be automatically rotated every day.

--log-rotate

  • To enable or disable log rotation
  • Default: true
  • When the value is true, follow the [log.file] in PD configuration files.

--name

  • The human-readable unique name for this PD member
  • Default: "pd"
  • If you want to start multiply PDs, you must use different name for each one.

--cacert

  • The file path of CA, used to enable TLS
  • Default: ""

--cert

  • The path of the PEM file including the X509 certificate, used to enable TLS
  • Default: ""

--key

  • The path of the PEM file including the X509 key, used to enable TLS
  • Default: ""

--namespace-classifier

  • To specify the namespace classifier used by PD
  • Default: "table"
  • If you use TiKV separately, not in the entire TiDB cluster, it is recommended to configure the value to 'default'.

--metrics-addr

  • The address of Prometheus Pushgateway, which does not push data to Promethus by default.
  • Default: ""
