Assuming this is the output of as-descirbe-aut-scaling group' dev-cass-mobile is your ASG (use -H option).

You dont need to set the ASG name or region explicitly. Priam will infer this.

Priam will run with default properties if you dont specify any in PriamProperties domain ( https://github.com/Netflix/Priam/wiki/Properties).

Priam uses InstanceIdentity to register instances.

can you clarify
Item Name: Cluster name + property name
appId : Your cluster name
property: Name of the property
value: Property value

I am not honstly familier with simpleDB and not sure what the actual variables and strings should be?

I am have had luck till the point

every thing start up till

I have added an example here: https://github.com/Netflix/Priam/wiki/Properties
Let me know if it helps.
If you are using single ASG (single zone), you will need to set the zone using 'priam.zones.available' property to that zone. By default, it assume the ring spans across 3 zones.

so far for the most part it seems to be ok
now I am getting a diffrent error

Caused by: org.apache.cassandra.config.ConfigurationException: Unable to get data for URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/Priam/REST/v1/cassconfig/get_seeds

I am not sure what the issue is at this point

[psadhu]

Priam picks one seed from each zone. WIth multiple zones configured (default), it expects nodes in other zones to create a seed list. Added more on this in FAQ.

Looks like this issue is resolved, hence closing it.
