Parameter rendering

The renderParameters and doNotRenderParameters can be used to specify which configuration parameters should be rendered when doing experiments within a step.

Parameter rendering can be defined at the step level for baseline, preset, and optimize steps. This is not possible for bootstrap steps as bootstrapped experiments are not executed.

Field	Type	Value restrictions	Is required	Description
renderParameters	Array of strings	should contain strings in the form component.parameter or component.*. The latter means every parameter of the component	No	Which configuration parameters should be rendered or applied when doing experiments/trials in addition to ones in the parameters selection or in the values if the step is of type baseline or preset
doNotRenderParameters	Array of strings	should contain strings in the form component.parameter or component.*. The latter means every parameter of the component	No	Which configuration parameters should not be rendered or applied when doing experiments/trials

Examples

The following baseline step specifies that every parameter of the component 'os' should not be rendered while the parameter 'cpu_limit' of the component 'docker' should be rendered:

name: "mybaseline"
type: "baseline"
values: # every parameter in 'values' is rendered by default
  jvm.jvm_compilation_threads: 10
  jvm.jvm_gcType: -XX:+UseG1GC
doNotRenderParameters: ["os.*"] # every parameter of the component 'os' will not be rendered
renderParameters: ["docker.cpu_limit"] # the parameter 'cpu_limit' of the component 'docker' will be rendered

The following preset step specifies that the parameter 'cpu_limit' of the component 'docker' should be rendered:

name: "mypreset"
type: "preset"
values:
  jvm.jvm_compilation_threads: 10
  jvm.jvm_gcType: -XX:+UseG1GC
renderParameters: ["docker.cpu_limit"] # the parameter 'cpu_limit' of the component 'docker' will be rendered

The following optimize step specifies that every parameter of the component 'os' should not be rendered:

name: "myoptimize"
type: "optimize"
numberOfExperiment: 200
doNotRenderParameters: ["os.*"] # every parameter of the component 'os' will not be rendered
