Set partition size for parallel loading-enabled AWS accounts

When using the SG-AWS-Image-Private, SG-AWS-Tags, SG-AWS-SendCommand, and AWS-SSM-GetS3Object data sources, you can optimize their performance by setting the partition size in the aws_account_partition_size connection property.

Before you begin

Set the application scope to Service Graph Connector for AWS using the application picker. For more information, see Application picker.

Role required: admin

About this task

The parallel loading feature is available for the SG-AWS-Image-Private, SG-AWS-Tags, SG-AWS-SendCommand, and AWS-SSM-GetS3Object data sources from the Washington DC Patch 5 release. This feature determines the number of AWS accounts that can be executed as parallel jobs to retrieve configuration item (CI) data. Partition size determines how many AWS accounts a single parallel-thread evaluates for data retrieval. For example, if you set the aws_account_partition_size property to 5 and there are 25 AWS accounts, the application generates 5 parallel jobs during data loading.

Note: If the aws_account_partition_size property isn't configured, the partition size computation feature of the Integration Commons for CMDB application automatically determines the partition size for parallel loading at runtime. See Partition size computation for parallel loading in Integration Commons for CMDB.
