Understanding the Parameters in the config.ini File
The following table consists of the config.ini parameters along with the descriptions:
| Configuration Component | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Log | mode | Specifies how the protector logs are handled by the Log Forwarder. If the connection to the Log Forwarder host is lost, you can set the connection mode to one of the following types: - drop: Specifies the logs that the protector fails to record when the connection to the Log Forwarder is lost. By default, the Log Forwarder is configured to operate in the drop mode. - error: Stops all the data security operations and throws an error when the connection to the Log Forwarder is lost. Syntax: Parameter = Value Example: mode = error |
| host | Specifies the Log Forwarder hostname or the IP address where the logs are forwarded from the protector. The default host for the Log Forwarder is localhost. Syntax: Parameter = Value Example: host = <Hostname or IP Address> | |
| Protector | cadence | Specifies the time interval at which the protector synchronizes with the shared memory for fetching the policy package. The default value for the cadence parameter is 60 seconds. The minimum and maximum values that can be set for the cadence parameter are 0 seconds and 86400 seconds (24 hours) respectively. Important: If the cadence parameter value is set to 0 seconds, then the policy is fetched only once at the time of initialization. After initialization, the protector does not fetch for the new policy changes as a result of immutable deployment. Syntax: Parameter = Value Example: cadence = <time interval in seconds> |
