cfgcmd

README

The commands in the config subsystem allow you to control the environment of the geneos program itself.

config show will display the configuration.

config set will set parameters.

config unset will unset (remove) parameters.

Program Configuration

General Configuration

• /etc/geneos/geneos.json - Global options
• ${HOME}/.config/geneos/geneos.json - User options
• Environment variables ITRS_option - where . is replaced by _, e.g. ITRS_DOWNLOAD_USERNAME

General options are loaded from the global config file first, then the user one and any environment variables override both files. The current options are:

• geneos

The home directory for all other commands. See Directory Layout below. If set the environment variable ITRS_HOME overrides any settings in the files. This is to maintain backward compatibility with older tools. The default, if not set anywhere else, is the home directory of the user running the command or, if running as root, the home directory of the geneos or itrs users (in that order). (To be fully implemented) This value is also set by the environment variables ITRS_HOME or ITRS_GENEOS

• download.url

The base URL for downloads for automating installations. Not yet used. If files are locally downloaded then this can either be a file:// style URL or a directory path.

• download.username download.password

  These specify the username and password to use when downloading packages. They can also be set as the environment variables, but the environment variables are not subject to expansion and so cannot contain Geneos encoded passwords (see below):

  • ITRS_DOWNLOAD_USERNAME
  • ITRS_DOWNLOAD_PASSWORD

• snapshot.username snapshot.password

  Similarly to the above, these specify the username and password to use when taking dataview snapshots. They can also be set as the environment variables, with the same restrictions as above:

  • ITRS_SNAPSHOT_USERNAME
  • ITRS_SNAPSHOT_PASSWORD

• GatewayPortRange & NetprobePortRange & LicdPortRange
