System scaling using helm chart

tiwaabh

Hi.

I have configured solace in my dev env(using helm chart) and currently it only allows upto 100 queues/endpoints creation. To scale I tried setting systemScaling values to :

But it doesn't seem to be working.

I setup solace in my laptop in docker and added these as --env system_scaling_maxconnectioncount=1000 --env system_scaling_maxqueuemessagecount=1000 --env messagespool_maxspoolusage=1000

Here, it seems to have worked in my laptop.

Is there any step, I am missing that is required for making these changes effective when using helm charts.

Hi - It appears to me that the override values are not being applied to the helm chart. Are you over-riding the values file using -f values.yaml? I am able to use the following command to apply over-rides when installing the pubsubplus chart. Can you try using this command as a model?

helm install ********* solacecharts/pubsubplus \
  --namespace solace \
  --set storage.size=30Gi \
  --set serviceAccount.create=false,serviceAccount.name=********-sa \
  --set solace.systemScaling.maxConnections=1000 \
  --set solace.systemScaling.maxQueueMessages=240 \
  --set solace.systemScaling.maxSpoolUsage=4000 \
  --set solace.systemScaling.cpu=2500m \
  --set solace.systemScaling.memory=7Gi

Note that you should go to the resource calculator page to assist with setting the resource values:

https://docs.solace.com/Admin-Ref/Resource-Calculator/pubsubplus-resource-calculator.html

The max connections and max queued messages values must be from a set of discrete values. For example, max queue messages can be 100, 240, or 3000 (million) messages.
