Cluster Settings

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.

sql.trace.session_eventlog.enabled	boolean	false	set to true to enable session tracing; note that enabling this may have a negative performance impact
sql.trace.stmt.enable_threshold	duration	0s	enables 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_threshold	duration	0s	enables 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)
sql.ttl.default_delete_batch_size	integer	100	default amount of rows to delete in a single query during a TTL job
sql.ttl.default_delete_rate_limit	integer	0	default delete rate limit for all TTL jobs. Use 0 to signify no rate limit.
sql.ttl.default_range_concurrency	integer	1	default amount of ranges to process at once during a TTL delete
sql.ttl.default_select_batch_size	integer	500	default amount of rows to select in a single query during a TTL job
sql.ttl.job.enabled	boolean	true	whether the TTL job is enabled
timeseries.storage.enabled	boolean	true	if set, periodic timeseries data is stored within the cluster; disabling is not recommended unless you are storing the data elsewhere
timeseries.storage.resolution_10s.ttl	duration	240h0m0s	the maximum age of time series data stored at the 10 second resolution. Data older than this is subject to rollup and deletion.
timeseries.storage.resolution_30m.ttl	duration	2160h0m0s	the maximum age of time series data stored at the 30 minute resolution. Data older than this is subject to deletion.
trace.debug.enable	boolean	false	if set, traces for recent requests can be seen at https:///debug/requests
trace.jaeger.agent	string		the address of a Jaeger agent to receive traces using the Jaeger UDP Thrift protocol, as :. If no port is specified, 6381 will be used.
trace.opentelemetry.collector	string		address of an OpenTelemetry trace collector to receive traces using the otel gRPC protocol, as :. If no port is specified, 4317 will be used.
trace.span_registry.enabled	boolean	true	if set, ongoing traces can be seen at https:///#/debug/tracez
trace.zipkin.collector	string		the address of a Zipkin instance to receive traces, as :. If no port is specified, 9411 will be used.
version	version	22.1	set the active cluster version in the format '.'

Change a cluster setting

Use the SET CLUSTER SETTING statement.

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.
