These sections of Settings act on the data plane of the workspace: Nodes / remote clusters under Data plane, and Query management under AI & ML. Reading them requires org.settings.read, and changing them requires org.settings.manage. The data plane settings of the whole instance, such as the default retention, are platform settings.

​
Nodes and remote clusters

Open Settings → Nodes / remote clusters.

​
Service data source

Recompute from storage (multi-node) decides how the service map is built from traces: Turn it on for a deployment with several intake nodes.

​
Cluster federation

Federation keeps resource changes in step between clusters. Enter a Cluster ID that is unique in the federation and stays the same across restarts, for example cluster-eu-west, and select Save changes. An empty cluster ID turns federation off, after a confirmation. Local data is not affected when federation stops. Advanced parameters tune the exchange: Outbox push interval (s), Push batch size, Dedup window (s), and Gossip interval (s).

​
Remote clusters

A remote cluster is a target of federated queries.
  1. Select Add cluster.
  2. Enter a Name and the Advertise address of the remote cluster, for example https://cluster.example.com.
  3. Enter the Token secret ref: a reference such as env:VAR or cipher_keys:<id>, never the token itself. The list shows it as ***.
  4. Keep Verify TLS certificate on unless the remote cluster uses a private certificate that this cluster cannot verify.
  5. Select Add cluster.
Each row has two more actions: Removing a cluster stops federated queries from reaching it.

​
Query management

Settings → Query management lists the queries of the workspace that run now, with the query ID, the user, the start time, and the statement. The list refreshes every 3 seconds. Cancel stops a query. Search jobs that run in the background are managed under Streams → Search jobs instead.
