Config.json

The config.json is the primary configuration file that holds all required settings in order to run an Exivity instance or node successfully.

The config.jsonis divided into several sections related to the individual Exivity software components (i.e. database, mq, etc) and is typically created and modified by the installer. However, in some situations such as multi-node setups, it is required to change this configuration file in order to support different workloads on different nodes. Also, when migrating to a different PostgreSQL database or RabbitMQ cluster, it would be required to change the database or mq related settings in the config.jsonconfiguration file.

The file can be found in your installation folder at: \Exivity\home\system\config.json
