Data Persistent Volume Claim (PVC)

Configure the SDP to use an existing volume or create a new one, and then configure the processing scripts to write the data to that volume. When creating new PVCs, one will be created in the control system namespace and the other in the processing namespace.

Processing scripts

Processing script definitions to be used by SDP. These map the script kind, name and version to a container image. By default the definitions are read from the scripts repository in GitLab. A different URL may be specified. Alternatively a list of script definitions can be passed to the chart.

Parameter Description Default
scripts.url URL from which to read the script definitions https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/sdp/ska-sdp-script/-/raw/master/scripts.json
scripts.definitions List of script definitions. If present, used instead of the URL. See the example below Not set

Example of script definitions in a values file:

scripts:
  definitions:
  - type: realtime
    id: test-realtime
    version: 0.3.0

  - type: batch
    id: test-batch
    version: 0.3.0
    image: artefact.skao.int/ska-sdp-script-test-realtime:0.3.0

Proxy settings

Proxy settings are applied to the components that retrieve configuration data via HTTPS: the script definitions and the Helm charts.

Parameter Description Default
proxy.server Address of proxy server Not set
proxy.noproxy List of addresses or subnets for which the proxy should not be used Not set

Example of proxy settings in a values file:

proxy:
