Managing Configs

You can manage configuration objects directly using the solrctl config command, which is a wrapper script for the ConfigSets API.

Configs are named configuration sets that you can reference when creating collections. The solrctl config command syntax is as follows:

solrctl config [--create <name> <baseConfig> [-p <name>=<value>]...]
               [--delete <name>]

• --create <name> <baseConfig> : Creates a new config based on an existing config. The config is created with the specified <name>, using <baseConfig> as the template. For more information about config templates, see Config Templates.
  • -p <name>=<value> : Overrides a <baseConfig> setting. The only config property that you can override is immutable, so the possible options are -p immutable=true and -p immutable=false. If you are copying an immutable config, such as a template, use -p immutable=false to make sure that you can edit the new config.
• --delete <name> : Deletes the specified config. You cannot delete an immutable config without accessing ZooKeeper directly as the solr super user.
