Configuration

Most common configuration options you need is in the Settings page of the web UI.

Other, more technical configuration options, are available through the config files. These are located in different places depending on your platform, see the directories documentation for where to find them.

Note

In v0.11.0, the previous .ini config files used by all Python-based modules were replaced by .toml files (commented out by default, to allow for updates to the defaults). If you had made any modifications to the ini files prior to v0.11, you need to migrate them to the new files.

Configuration options for the server, client, and default watchers are listed below:

  • aw-server (Python)

  • host Hostname to start the server on. Currently only localhost or 127.0.0.1 are supported.

  • port Port number to start the server on.

  • storage Type of storage for holding buckets and events. Supported types are peewee, memory (useful in testing), or mongodb (MongoDB support will be removed in a future version).

  • aw-client

  • hostname Hostname of the server to connect to.

  • port Port number of the server to connect to.

  • aw-watcher-afk

  • timeout Time in seconds with no activity required to become afk.

  • poll_time Time in seconds between checks for activity.

  • update_time Not yet implemented.

  • aw-watcher-window:

  • poll_time Time in seconds between window checks.

  • exclude_title Don’t track window titles
