Topology Configuration File for TiDB Deployment Using TiUP

To deploy or scale TiDB using TiUP, you need to provide a topology file (sample) to describe the cluster topology.

Similarly, to modify the cluster topology, you need to modify the topology file. The difference is that, after the cluster is deployed, you can only modify a part of the fields in the topology file. This document introduces each section of the topology file and each field in each section.

File structure

A topology configuration file for TiDB deployment using TiUP might contain the following sections:

global: The cluster's global configuration. Some of the configuration items use the default values and you can configure them separately in each instance.
monitored: Configuration for monitoring services, namely, the blackbox_exporter and the node_exporter. On each machine, a node_exporter and a blackbox_exporter are deployed.
server_configs: Components' global configuration. You can configure each component separately. If an instance has a configuration item with the same name, the instance's configuration item will take effect.
pd_servers: The configuration of the PD instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the PD component is deployed.
tidb_servers: The configuration of the TiDB instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the TiDB component is deployed.
tikv_servers: The configuration of the TiKV instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the TiKV component is deployed.
tiflash_servers: The configuration of the TiFlash instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the TiFlash component is deployed.
pump_servers: The configuration of the Pump instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the Pump component is deployed.
drainer_servers: The configuration of the Drainer instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the Drainer component is deployed.
cdc_servers: The configuration of the TiCDC instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the TiCDC component is deployed.
tispark_masters: The configuration of the TiSpark master instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the TiSpark master component is deployed. Only one node of TiSpark master can be deployed.
tispark_workers: The configuration of the TiSpark worker instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which the TiSpark worker component is deployed.
monitoring_servers: Specifies the machines to which Prometheus and NGMonitoring are deployed. TiUP supports deploying multiple Prometheus instances but only the first instance is used.
grafana_servers: The configuration of the Grafana instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which Grafana is deployed.
alertmanager_servers: The configuration of the Alertmanager instance. This configuration specifies the machines to which Alertmanager is deployed.

`global`

The global section corresponds to the cluster's global configuration and has the following fields:

user: The user used to start the deployed cluster. The default value is "tidb". If the user specified in the <user> field does not exist on the target machine, this user is automatically created.
group: The user group to which a user belongs. It is specified when the user is created. The value defaults to that of the <user> field. If the specified group does not exist, it is automatically created.
ssh_port: Specifies the SSH port to connect to the target machine for operations. The default value is 22.
enable_tls: Specifies whether to enable TLS for the cluster. After TLS is enabled, the generated TLS certificate must be used for connections between components or between the client and the component. The default value is false.
deploy_dir: The deployment directory of each component. The default value is "deployed". Its application rules are as follows:
- If the absolute path of deploy_dir is configured at the instance level, the actual deployment directory is deploy_dir configured for the instance.
- For each instance, if you do not configure deploy_dir, its default value is the relative path <component-name>-<component-port>.
- If global.deploy_dir is an absolute path, the component is deployed to the <global.deploy_dir>/<instance.deploy_dir> directory.
- If global.deploy_dir is a relative path, the component is deployed to the /home/<global.user>/<global.deploy_dir>/<instance.deploy_dir> directory.
data_dir: The data directory. Default value: "data". Its application rules are as follows:
- If the absolute path of data_dir is configured at the instance level, the actual deployment directory is data_dir configured for the instance.
- For each instance, if you do not configure data_dir, its default value is <global.data_dir>.
- If data_dir is a relative path, the component data is placed in <deploy_dir>/<data_dir>. For the calculation rules of <deploy_dir>, see the application rules of the deploy_dir field.
log_dir: The log directory. Default value: "log". Its application rules are as follows:
- If the absolute path log_dir is configured at the instance level, the actual log directory is the log_dir configured for the instance.
- For each instance, if you not configure log_dir, its default value is <global.log_dir>.
- If log_dir is a relative path, the component log is placed in <deploy_dir>/<log_dir>. For the calculation rules of <deploy_dir>, see the application rules of the deploy_dir field.
os: The operating system of the target machine. The field controls which operating system to adapt to for the components pushed to the target machine. The default value is "linux".
arch: The CPU architecture of the target machine. The field controls which platform to adapt to for the binary packages pushed to the target machine. The supported values are "amd64" and "arm64". The default value is "amd64".
resource_control: Runtime resource control. All configurations in this field are written into the service file of systemd. There is no limit by default. The resources that can be controlled are as follows:
- memory_limit: Limits the maximum runtime memory. For example, "2G" means that the maximum memory of 2 GB can be used.
- cpu_quota: Limits the maximum CPU usage at runtime. For example, "200%".
- io_read_bandwidth_max: Limits the maximum I/O bandwidth for disk reads. For example, "/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 100M".
- io_write_bandwidth_max: Limits maximum I/O bandwidth for disk writes. For example, /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 100M.
- limit_core: Controls the size of core dump.

A global configuration example is as follows:

global:
  user: "tidb"
  resource_control:
    memory_limit: "2G"

In the above configuration, the tidb user is used to start the cluster. At the same time, each component is restricted to a maximum of 2 GB of memory when it is running.

`monitored`

monitored is used to configure the monitoring service on the target machine: node_exporter and blackbox_exporter. The following fields are included:

node_exporter_port: The service port of node_exporter. The default value is 9100.
blackbox_exporter_port: The service port of blackbox_exporter. The default value is 9115.
deploy_dir: Specifies the deployment directory. If it is not specified or specified as a relative directory, the directory is generated according to the deploy_dir directory configured in global.
data_dir: Specifies the data directory. If it is not specified or specified as a relative directory, the directory is generated according to the data_dir directory configured in global.
log_dir: Specifies the log directory. If it is not specified or specified as a relative directory, the log is generated according to the log_dir directory configured in global.

A monitored configuration example is as follows:

monitored:
  node_exporter_port: 9100
  blackbox_exporter_port: 9115

The above configuration specifies that node_exporter uses the 9100 port and blackbox_exporter uses the 9115 port.

`server_configs`

tikv: TiKV service-related configuration. For the complete configuration, see TiKV configuration file.
pd: PD service-related configuration. For the complete configuration, see PD configuration file.
tiflash: TiFlash service-related configuration. For the complete configuration, see TiFlash configuration file.
tiflash_learner: Each TiFlash node has a special built-in TiKV. This configuration item is used to configure this special TiKV. It is generally not recommended to modify the content under this configuration item.
pump: Pump service-related configuration. For the complete configuration, see TiDB Binlog configuration file.
drainer: Drainer service-related configuration. For the complete configuration, see TiDB Binlog configuration file.
cdc: TiCDC service-related configuration. For the complete configuration, see Deploy TiCDC.

A server_configs configuration example is as follows:

    run-ddl: true
    lease: "45s"
    split-table: true
    token-limit: 1000
