Cluster Settings

Warning:
As of May 16, 2023, CockroachDB v21.2 is no longer supported. For more details, refer to the Release Support Policy.

Cluster settings apply to all nodes of a CockroachDB cluster and control, for example, whether or not to share diagnostic details with Cockroach Labs as well as advanced options for debugging and cluster tuning.

They can be updated anytime after a cluster has been started, but only by a member of the admin role, to which the root user belongs by default.

Note:

In contrast to cluster-wide settings, node-level settings apply to a single node. They are defined by flags passed to the cockroach start command when starting a node and cannot be changed without stopping and restarting the node. For more details, see Start a Node.

Settings

Warning:

These cluster settings have a broad impact on CockroachDB internals and affect all applications, workloads, and users running on a CockroachDB cluster. For some settings, a session setting could be a more appropriate scope.

Note that auto-retries generally only happen while no results have been delivered to the client, so reducing this size can increase the number of retriable errors a client receives.

sql.notices.enabledbooleantrueenable notices in the server/client protocol being sent
sql.optimizer.uniqueness_checks_for_gen_random_uuid.enabledbooleanfalseif enabled, uniqueness checks may be planned for mutations of UUID columns updated with gen_random_uuid(); otherwise, uniqueness is assumed due to near-zero collision probability

sql.trace.stmt.enable_thresholdduration0senables tracing on all statements; statements executing for longer than this duration will have their trace logged (set to 0 to disable); note that enabling this may have a negative performance impact; this setting applies to individual statements within a transaction and is therefore finer-grained than sql.trace.txn.enable_threshold
sql.trace.txn.enable_thresholdduration0senables tracing on all transactions; transactions open for longer than this duration will have their trace logged (set to 0 to disable); note that enabling this may have a negative performance impact; this setting is coarser-grained than sql.trace.stmt.enable_threshold because it applies to all statements within a transaction as well as client communication (e.g. retries)

Before changing a cluster setting, please note the following:

  • Changing a cluster setting is not instantaneous, as the change must be propagated to other nodes in the cluster.

  • Do not change cluster settings while upgrading to a new version of CockroachDB. Wait until all nodes have been upgraded before you make the change.
