Examples

1. asvalid validate 'file-path'

	root@VM-1:/home/ubuntu# asvalid validate /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf

	Warning: Total configured data-size and memory-size (8.00 GiB) exceeds system memory (0.94 GiB)
	Warning: No TLS configuration block found.
	Configuration check complete.
	Evaluating /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf against version 7.0.0.7 config schema.
	Validation successful for Aerospike version 7.0.0.7.

2. asvalid verify

	root@VM-1:/home/ubuntu# asvalid verify

	Warning: Total configured data-size and memory-size (8.00 GiB) exceeds system memory (0.94 GiB)

	Evaluating /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf against version 7.0.0.7 config schema.
	Validation successful for Aerospike version 7.0.0.7.

	Configuration differences found:
	namespaces.test-new.replication-factor:
		- aerospike.conf = 2
		- live cluster value = 6
	service.proto-fd-max:
		- aerospike.conf = 15000
