CockroachDB Storage Backend
The CockroachDB storage backend is used to persist Vault's data in a CockroachDB server or cluster.
-
No High Availability – the CockroachDB storage backend does not support high availability.
-
Community Supported – the CockroachDB storage backend is supported by the community. While it has undergone development and review by HashiCorp employees, they may not be as knowledgeable about the technology.
storage "cockroachdb" {
connection_url = "postgres://user123:secret123!@localhost:5432/vault"
}
Note - CockroachDB is compatible with the PostgreSQL database driver and uses that driver to interact with the database.
cockroachdb Parameters
-
connection_url(string: <required>)– Specifies the connection string to use to authenticate and connect to CockroachDB. A full list of supported parameters can be found in the pq library documentation. For example connection string URLs, see the examples section below. -
table(string: "vault_kv_store")– Specifies the name of the table in which to write Vault data. This table must already exist (Vault will not attempt to create it). -
max_parallel(string: "128")– Specifies the maximum number of concurrent requests to CockroachDB.
cockroachdb Examples
This example shows connecting to a PostgresSQL cluster using full SSL verification (recommended).
storage "cockroachdb" {
connection_url = "postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/database?sslmode=verify-full"
}
To disable SSL verification (not recommended), replace verify-full with
disable:
storage "cockroachdb" {
connection_url = "postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/database?sslmode=disable"
}
