Management REST Service

The ScaleOut Management REST Service is available as part of the optional ScaleOut Management Pack. It runs as a Linux daemon or a Windows service. By default, the service is configured to accept requests from only the loopback address (“localhost” or 127.0.0.1) for security purposes.

The soss_mgt_rest.json file contains configuration settings used by the ScaleOut Management REST Service, and it must be edited to make the service accessible to remote client machines. An alternative configuration file may by specified with the “-config” command line argument which specifies a file path to the desired configuration file. Please note that changes to the configuration file will only take effect after the Management service is restarted.
