Configuring Data Prepper
You can customize your Data Prepper configuration by editing the data-prepper-config.yaml file in your Data Prepper installation. The following configuration options are independent from pipeline configuration options.
Data Prepper configuration
Use the following options to customize your Data Prepper configuration.
| Option | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ssl | No | Boolean | Indicates whether TLS should be used for server APIs. Defaults to true. |
| keyStoreFilePath | No | String | The path to a .jks or .p12 keystore file. Required if ssl is true. |
| keyStorePassword | No | String | The password for keystore. Optional, defaults to empty string. |
| privateKeyPassword | No | String | The password for a private key within keystore. Optional, defaults to empty string. |

| metricRegistries | No | List | The metrics registries for publishing the generated metrics. Currently supports Prometheus and Amazon CloudWatch. Defaults to Prometheus. |
| metricTags | No | Map | A map of key-value pairs as common metric tags to metric registries. The maximum number of pairs is three. Note that serviceName is a reserved tag key with DataPrepper as the default tag value. Alternatively, administrators can set this value through the environment variable DATAPREPPER_SERVICE_NAME. If serviceName is defined in metricTags, that value overwrites those set through the above methods. |
| authentication | No | Object | The authentication configuration. Valid option is http_basic with username and password properties. If not defined, the server does not perform authentication. |
| processorShutdownTimeout | No | Duration | The time given to processors to clear any in-flight data and gracefully shut down. Default is 30s. |
| sinkShutdownTimeout | No | Duration | The time given to sinks to clear any in-flight data and gracefully shut down. Default is 30s. |
| peer_forwarder | No | Object | Peer forwarder configurations. See Peer forwarder options for more details. |
| circuit_breakers | No | circuit_breakers | Configures a circuit breaker on incoming data. |
Peer forwarder options
The following section details various configuration options for peer forwarder.
General options for peer forwarding

| max_pending_requests | No | Integer | The maximum number of allowed tasks in ScheduledThreadPool work queue. Default is 1024. |
| discovery_mode | No | String | The peer discovery mode to use. Valid options are local_node, static, dns, or aws_cloud_map. Defaults to local_node, which processes events locally. |
| static_endpoints | Conditionally | List | A list containing endpoints of all Data Prepper instances. Required if discovery_mode is set to static. |
| domain_name | Conditionally | String | A single domain name to query DNS against. Typically, used by creating multiple DNS A Records for the same domain. Required if discovery_mode is set to dns. |
| aws_cloud_map_namespace_name | Conditionally | String | Cloud Map namespace when using AWS Cloud Map service discovery. Required if discovery_mode is set to aws_cloud_map. |
| aws_cloud_map_service_name | Conditionally | String | The Cloud Map service name when using AWS Cloud Map service discovery. Required if discovery_mode is set to aws_cloud_map. |
| aws_cloud_map_query_parameters | No | Map | A map of key-value pairs to filter the results based on the custom attributes attached to an instance. Only instances that match all the specified key-value pairs are returned. |
| buffer_size | No | Integer | The maximum number of unchecked records the buffer accepts. Number of unchecked records is the sum of the number of records written into the buffer and the num of in-flight records not yet checked by the Checkpointing API. Default is 512. |
| batch_size | No | Integer | The maximum number of records the buffer returns on read. Default is 48. |
| aws_region | Conditionally | String | The AWS region to use with ACM, S3 or AWS Cloud Map. Required if use_acm_certificate_for_ssl is set to true or ssl_certificate_file and ssl_key_file is AWS S3 path or discovery_mode is set to aws_cloud_map. |
| drain_timeout | No | Duration | The wait time for the peer forwarder to complete processing data before shutdown. Default is 10s. |
TLS/SSL options for peer forwarder
| Option | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ssl | No | Boolean | Enables TLS/SSL. Default is true. |
| ssl_certificate_file | Conditionally | String | The SSL certificate chain file path or AWS S3 path. S3 path example s3://<bucketName>/<path>. Required if ssl is true and use_acm_certificate_for_ssl is false. Defaults to config/default_certificate.pem which is the default certificate file. Read more about how the certificate file is generated here. |
| ssl_key_file | Conditionally | String | The SSL key file path or AWS S3 path. S3 path example s3://<bucketName>/<path>. Required if ssl is true and use_acm_certificate_for_ssl is false. Defaults to config/default_private_key.pem which is the default private key file. Read more about how the default private key file is generated here. |
| ssl_insecure_disable_verification | No | Boolean | Disables the verification of server's TLS certificate chain. Default is false. |
| ssl_fingerprint_verification_only | No | Boolean | Disables the verification of server's TLS certificate chain and instead verifies only the certificate fingerprint. Default is false. |
| use_acm_certificate_for_ssl | No | Boolean | Enables TLS/SSL using certificate and private key from AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). Default is false. |
| acm_certificate_arn | Conditionally | String | The ACM certificate ARN. The ACM certificate takes preference over S3 or a local file system certificate. Required if use_acm_certificate_for_ssl is set to true. |
| acm_private_key_password | No | String | The ACM private key password that decrypts the private key. If not provided, Data Prepper generates a random password. |

| aws_region | Conditionally | String | The AWS region to use ACM, S3 or AWS Cloud Map. Required if use_acm_certificate_for_ssl is set to true or ssl_certificate_file and ssl_key_file is AWS S3 path or discovery_mode is set to aws_cloud_map. |
Authentication options for peer forwarder
| Option | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| authentication | No | Map | The authentication method to use. Valid options are mutual_tls (use mTLS) or unauthenticated (no authentication). Default is unauthenticated. |
Circuit breakers
Data Prepper provides a circuit breaker to help prevent exhausting Java memory. And is useful when pipelines have stateful processors as these can retain memory usage outside of the buffers.
When a circuit breaker is tripped, Data Prepper rejects incoming data routing into buffers.
| Option | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| heap | No | heap | Enables a heap circuit breaker. By default, this is not enabled. |
Heap circuit breaker
Configures Data Prepper to trip a circuit breaker when JVM heap reaches a specified usage threshold.
| Option | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| usage | Yes | Bytes | Specifies the JVM heap usage at which to trip a circuit breaker. If the current Java heap usage exceeds this value then the circuit breaker will be open. This can be a value such as 6.5gb. |
| reset | No | Duration | After tripping the circuit breaker, no new checks are made until after this time has passed. This effectively sets the minimum time for a breaker to remain open to allow for clearing memory. Defaults to 1s. |
| check_interval | No | Duration | Specifies the time between checks of the heap size. Defaults to 500ms. |
