common.ini

The common.ini config file, located at /etc/squirro/common.ini configures common settings for all Squirro services.

For changes in this config file to be considered, all Squirro services must be restarted.

Logging

The log level can be changed, so that more messages end up in the log files.

This setting is done in the [logger_root] section.

Key	Usage	Default
level	Set the log level that is written to the log files. Allowed values: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR.	INFO

Pipeline

Some pipeline settings are configured in the common.ini file. Others can be set in the ingester.ini file.

The following settings are done in the [pipeline] section.

Key	Usage	Default
step_plumber_timeout_secs	The maximum duration a request from the ingester service to the plumber service (ingester.pipelet_step --> plumber) can take. When changing this timeout, the nginx configuration also needs to be updated, as there is a separate timeout at play there. For the timeout to take full effect, also edit /etc/nginx/conf.d/plumber-fastcgi.inc and adjust the fastcgi_read_timeout value. Reload nginx after applying this change with sudo systemctl reload nginx.	3600

Index

The [index] section in the common.in file manages certain index settings affecting how data is retrieved from the storage nodes or indexed.

Key	Usage	Default
default_abstract_size	The default length of returned abstract.	500
default_limit_size	Default limit of size of item to get in bytes. In an API call this can be ignored with the parameter oversize=true.	512000
