Enabling Virtual Graph

This is the public preview documentation of Neo4j Virtual Graph. To provide feedback, please use the feedback form you were granted access to.

During the public preview, we advise you not to use sensitive or production data with Virtual Graph.

Virtual Graph is configured outside the main Neo4j neo4j.conf except for two settings:

  • internal.virtual_graph.enabled = true

  • internal.virtual_graph.home = [readable directory]

Enable Virtual Graph by setting these two, where [readable directory] is an existing and readable directory in your file system. Neo4j won’t start if that directory does not exist or is missing required files, see Virtual Graph home.

Virtual Graph home

Virtual Graph requires three files in its home directory:

The content of the directory and the content of each file is only checked and evaluated at Neo4j boot time. If a file is missing or invalid or Virtual Graph cannot open an initial remote connection, the boot process fails.
