Overriding cluster-level storage configuration

Orchestrator supports the following storage configurations:

• Cluster-level storage configuration;
• Orchestrator-level storage configuration.

We recommend using the cluster-level configuration paired with external storage. This allows Orchestrator to automatically detect and use the settings, eliminating the need for additional configuration.

Configuring Azure/Amazon S3 storage buckets

To configure the Orchestrator-level storage provider, update the Orchestrator parameters by taking the following steps. For more details, see Configuring the Orchestrator parameters.

1. In the configuration file, under orchestrator, add the legacy_storage_provider section that contains the storage type and connection string, as shown in the following example:

   "orchestrator": {
     "enabled": true,
     "legacy_object_storage": {
       "type": "Azure",
       "connection_string": "DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=usr;AccountKey=...;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net"
     }
   }

2. Set the desired provider using the type parameter. The possible values are: Azure, AWS, and Minio. A few considerations:
   • The storage.type parameter values are case-sensitive;
   • FileSystem storage configuration is not supported.
3. Add the connection string for the storage provider using the connection_string parameter. For details on the connection strings format, see the Storage.Location section of UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config.

Note:

Orchestrator web browser access to Amazon and Azure storage buckets could be restricted due to the same-origin policy on the provider side. To successfully access the content of such a bucket, you must configure the respective provider to allow cross-origin requests from Orchestrator. For instructions, see CORP/CSP configuration.

Configuring SMB network share

To use network FileStore, edit the following Orchestrator ArgoCD app parameters:

• storage.type = smb
• storage.smb.domain
• storage.smb.password
• storage.smb.source
• storage.smb.username
• storage.smb.size

Uploading files to storage

When Orchestrator uses cluster-level storage configuration, files can be uploaded to the storage using the Orchestrator Configurator Tool. To do that, use the following command:

./orchestrator-configurator.sh -s blobstoragefolder

If you use an external storage configuration at the cluster level, you must indicate this by including the --use-external-storage flag.
