Find your Configuration Files

◷ Reading Time: 6 minutes

When Configurator has finished configuring, it also creates a configuration file for each installed node (Identity, Asset Management, Execution Controller, Execution Worker, Workbench, Events Gateway, and Content Storage).
FlexRule Server has a separate configuration file for each instance.

Config Files

The config files can be found in a node’s installation path, with a path similar to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\FlexRule\Server\<Node_Version>\<Node_Type>\FlexRule.OPEN.<Node_Name>.dll.config

There is a unique configuration file for each node:

Identity Configuration File: FlexRule.OPEN.Identity.dll.config
Asset Management Configuration File: FlexRule.OPEN.AssetManagement.dll.config
Execution Controller Configuration File: FlexRule.OPEN.ExecutionController.dll.config
Execution Worker Configuration File: FlexRule.OPEN.ExecutionWorker.dll.config
Workbench Configuration File: FlexRule.OPEN.Workbench.dll.config
Gateways Configuration File: FlexRule.OPEN.EventsGateway.dll.config
Content Storage Configuration File: FlexRule.OPEN.Storage.dll.config

Common Configuration Settings

In the examples above, some configurations appear more often than others, depending on what the node requires. By default, the node Configurators will set all required values upon installation.

Secruity

EncryptionPassword: Used to encrypt User, Client, and Agent account information when stored in the database.
AuthSigningKey: The key used by Clients and Agents when signing the authentication token.
ControllerWorkerSharedSecret: A key shared by ExecutionController and ExecutionWorker to identify each other.

Database

DbAddress: The connection string value that allows a node to access the shared Database for Server functions. All nodes share the same Database.

Hosting Address

ApiAddress: The IP address and Port number the configured node is listening for API requests on. (For all nodes, except Workbench)
WorkbenchAddress: (Only for Workbench) It is the same as ApiAddress but specifically only for the Workbench configuration file.
WorkbenchPath: The relative path from the configuration file and node assets to the front-end web assets.

Node Addresses

These addresses should match the ApiAddress values configured for the other nodes. This configuration links to other nodes, which is crucial for some operations.

IdentityAddress: The IP address and Port number of the Identity node.
ExecutionControllerAddress: The IP address and Port number of the Execution Controller node. All interactions with the Execution Worker node are first handled by the Execution Controller.
AssetManagementAddress: The IP address and Port number of the Asset Management node.
StudioAddress: The IP address and Port number of the Studio node.

Logs Folder

LogFolder: The path where logs generated by this node are stored.
LogEnabled: If the node should generate logs.

Live Console Outputs

ConsoleLiveOutput: If the node should send events to the node console window.
