# 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](ingester-ini.md#admin-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 | ## Example Configuration ```ini [handlers] keys = file [logger_root] handlers = file level = DEBUG [handler_file] dir = /var/log/squirro args = ('%(dir)s/%(application)s/%(application)s.log', 'a', 52428800, 1) ```
