Configuration

There are actually two configuration files: one for the service and one for the checks.

Server configuration

The server configuration is done using environment variables. You can put them in a .env file at the root of the project. Here is a list of the useful variables, in the .env format:

Environment variables

Here are the environment variables you can define to configure how the service will behave :

ARGOS_YAML_FILE

The path to the yaml configuration file, defining the checks.

ARGOS_DATABASE_URL

The database url, as defined in SQLAlchemy docs.

For instance, to connect to a postgres database on localhost with user, pass and dbname "argos":

ARGOS_DATABASE_URL = "postgresql://argos:argos@localhost/argos"

DB_POOL_SIZE

DB_MAX_OVERFLOW

These two help you configure the size of the pool, and the max overflow (until when do we accept a new connection ?) These are documented in the SQLAlchemy docs in greater details

DB_POOL_SIZE = 10
DB_MAX_OVERFLOW = 20

Checks configuration

Argos uses a YAML configuration file to define the websites to monitor and the checks to run on these websites.

Here is a simple configuration file:
