Here, we will explain the 'Configuration Settings' feature of KandaSearch.

What are Configuration Settings?

In KandaSearch, in addition to providing the 'File Manager' feature to enable various file operations via the browser, the 'Config' setting feature is a management function that restricts the files to be operated on to those related to the configuration of each collection for each node (*1).

*1: This refers to standalone configuration. In the case of SolrCloud configuration, which consists of multiple nodes, the 'Config' allows uploading configurations to ZooKeeper.

It's very convenient as it allows access to various files without requiring special settings or specialized knowledge like SSH or FTP. You can directly edit files such as 'managed-schema' and 'solrconfig.xml' from the browser.
Additionally, since only configuration-related files are targeted, it becomes easier to find the desired files.

In 'Config', you can access folders and files under the /solr/data/collection_name/conf folder on a per-Apache Solr node basis (or ZooKeeper in the case of SolrCloud configuration).

Please note that due to administrative reasons in KandaSearch, some files may not be displayed or editable.

To use Configuration Settings, follow these steps to display the configuration screen:
