The following configuration elements are accessible through different APIs/Protocols: remotely from the server, through an RPC in Lua applications connected to the Agent process, and locally in the Agent process (e.g. through the telnet shell).
The configuration table can be read (M3DA Command ReadNode) and written (Data writing).
The path of the elements is prefixed by the path "@sys.config"
.
In the Lua Shell you can access the configuration table thanks to the agent.config
module:
-- Load/retrieve the config module
c = require 'agent.config'
-- print all config from the rest sub category
p(c.rest)
-- assign a new parameter (de-activate rest stuff)
c.rest.activate = false
See DeviceTree
library API. A couple of function for setting and reading variables are provided.
Generated doc is available here:
Most likely, user will need the following command:
dt = require "devicetree"
dt.init()
:dt.get("config")
-- user may append strings after config in order to browse deeper into the tree, e.g. ":dt.get("config.server.autoconnect")"
The Agent comes with a default configuration that can be altered and restored at any time.
The default configuration of the Agent is provided by thespecified into the fil agent/defaultconfig.lua
file, which ships with each porting of the Agent to a target. Beware that changes to defaultconfig
are only taken into account at first run, or after a make clean
: the Agent makes a read/write copy of the config on the filesystem, which can be modified through the APIs described below, and won't detect a modification of defaultconfig
.
The preferred way to modify an Agent instance's configuration is to alter its persisted configuration, copied from defaultconfig
the first time the Agent runs. On Linux-like operating systems, the config is stored in a custom database format, on a read-write file system (often flash in embedded devices). By default, it goes in the is stored into "./persist/ConfigStore"
file, in the Agent's read+write directory.relative to the directory where the Agent is executed.
When the Agent starts, it looks for an existing stored configuration (ConfigStore). If none is found, it is created from the template provided by agent.defaultconfig
.
This means that changing agent.defaultconfig
after the first start of the Agent will not change the current configuration of the Agent. A call to agent.config.default()
is necessary to reload the default configuration.
The configuration tree is stored in persisted memory (flash). Any change to the configuration is written synchronously, meaning that the settings are persisted as soon as returning from a set()
operation.
The Configuration module has an API to manipulate the configuration; in a Lua shell, you can type:
agent.config.default(path) -- reloads the configuration subtree 'path' from the defaultconfig.lua file.
agent.config.diff(path) -- returns a list of items that are different from the default config.
agent.config.pdiff(path) -- pretty print the above list
agent.config.set(path, value)-- set a value in the configuration
agent.config.get(path) -- gets a value for the configuration subtree
