Configuration

Here you would find a long description, maybe the description in example file are enough for you.

The config file for Yanic written in "Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language." syntax. (if you need somethink multiple times, checkout out the array of table section)

[respondd]

{% method %} Group for configuration of respondd request. {% sample lang="toml" %}

[respondd]
enable           = true
# synchronize    = "1m"
collect_interval = "1m"

#[respondd.sites.example]
#domains            = ["city"]

[[respondd.interfaces]]
ifname             = "br-ffhb"
#ip_address        = "fe80::..."
#send_no_request   = false
#multicast_address = "ff02::2:1001"
#port              = 10001

{% endmethod %}

enable

{% method %} Enable request and collection of data per respondd requests {% sample lang="toml" %}

enable = true

{% endmethod %}

synchronize

{% method %} Delay startup until a multiple of the period since zero time {% sample lang="toml" %}

synchronize      = "1m"

{% endmethod %}

collect_interval

{% method %} How often send request per respondd.

It will send UDP packets with multicast address ff05::2:1001 and port 1001. If a node does not answer after the half time, it will request with the last know address under the port 1001. {% sample lang="toml" %}

collect_interval = "1m"

{% endmethod %}

[respondd.sites.example]

{% method %} Tables of sites to save stats for (not exists for global only). Here is the site ffhb. {% sample lang="toml" %}
