Submodule box.cfg | Tarantool

Submodule box.cfg

The box.cfg submodule is used for specifying server configuration parameters.

To view the current configuration, say box.cfg without braces:

tarantool> box.cfg
---
- checkpoint_count: 2
  too_long_threshold: 0.5
  slab_alloc_factor: 1.05
  memtx_max_tuple_size: 1048576
  background: false
  <...>
...

To set particular parameters, use the following syntax: box.cfg{key = value [, key = value ...]} (further referred to as box.cfg{...} for short). For example:

tarantool> box.cfg{listen = 3301}

Parameters that are not specified in the box.cfg{...} call explicitly will be set to the default values.

If you say box.cfg{} with no parameters, Tarantool applies the following default settings to all the parameters:

tarantool> box.cfg{}
tarantool> box.cfg -- sorted in the alphabetic order

The first call to box.cfg{...} (with or without parameters) initiates Tarantool’s database module box.

box.cfg{...} is also the command that reloads persistent data files into RAM upon restart once we have data.
