PGAGROAL.CONF(5)	       File Formats Manual		PGAGROAL.CONF(5)

NAME
     pgagroal.conf - Main configuration file for pgagroal

DESCRIPTION
     pgagroal.conf is the main configuration file for pgagroal.

     The  file is split into different sections specified by the [ and ] charac-
     ters. The main section is called [pgagroal].

     Other sections specifies the PostgreSQL server configuration.

     All properties are in the format key = value.

     The characters # and ; can be used for comments; must be the first  charac-
     ter  on the line.	The Bool data type supports the following values: on, 1,
     true, off, 0 and false.

OPTIONS
     The options for the main section are

     host   The bind address for pgagroal. Mandatory

     port   The bind port for pgagroal. Mandatory

     unix_socket_dir
	    The Unix Domain Socket location. Mandatory

     metrics
	    The metrics port. Default is 0 (disabled)

     metrics_cache_max_age

     update_process_title
	    The behavior for updating the operating system process title, mainly

	    title  without overriding the existing initial process title length;
	    minimal to set the process title to username/database;  verbose  (or
	    full)  to  set the process title to user@host:port/database.  Please
	    note that strict and minimal are honored only on those systems  that
	    do	not provide a native way to set the process title (e.g., Linux).
	    On other systems, there is no difference between strict and  minimal
	    and  the  assumed behaviour is minimal even if strict is used. never
	    and verbose are always honored, on every system.  On  Linux  systems
	    the process title is always trimmed to 255 characters, while on sys-
	    tem  that  provide	a  natve  way to set the process title it can be
	    longer

     Danger zone
