Configuration¶
For a list of supported options incl. an explanation please refer to the the MAN pages for bluechi-controller(5) and bluechi-agent(5).
Loading order¶
On startup, BlueChi loads configuration files from the following directories:
| Load order | bluechi-controller | bluechi-agent |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | /usr/share/bluechi/config/controller.conf |
/usr/share/bluechi-agent/config/agent.conf |
| 2 | /etc/bluechi/controller.conf |
/etc/bluechi/agent.conf |
| 3 | /etc/bluechi/controller.conf.d |
/etc/bluechi/agent.conf.d |
Based on the load order, settings from a previously read configuration file will be overridden by subsequent files.
For example, the default setting for AllowedNodeNames in /usr/share/bluechi/config/controller.conf is an empty
list and can be overridden by either editing /etc/bluechi/controller.conf or adding a file in
/etc/bluechi/controller.conf.d. Configuration
files in /etc/bluechi/controller.conf.d are sorted alphabetically and read in ascending order.
It is also possible to pass the cli option -c <path_to_file> to both, bluechi-controller and bluechi-agent. If
specified, this
configuration has the highest priority and all defined settings will override previously set options.
Maximum line length¶
The maximum line length supported by BlueChi is 500 characters. If the characters of any key-value pair exceeds this, use
multiple, indented lines. For example, a large number of node names in the AllowedNodeNames field can be split like this:
AllowedNodeNames=node1,
node2,
node3
