You can apply this change through the Admin Settings Page (recommended) or trifacta-conf.json. For more information, see Platform Configuration Methods.

"vfs-service.enabled":true,
"vfs-service.host":"localhost",

"vfs-service.bindHost":"0.0.0.0",
"vfs-service.autoRestart":true,
"vfs-service.timeoutMilliseconds":7200000,
