Configuration v4

Suggest edits

Besides being mandatory for the customer id and token, the Lasso configuration file also allows you to omit most of the command line options that your environment might require. (You can see a list of all the command-line options in Usage.)

Lasso looks for configuration files in the following paths, in this order, and uses the first match:

  1. ./edb-lasso.cfg in the same directory where Lasso is running
  2. ./edb-lasso.conf in the same directory where Lasso is running
  3. $HOME/.edb-lasso.conf
  4. /etc/edb-lasso.conf

A template file for the configuration file looks like this:

You can use this template to set up your configuration file. Uncomment the desired parameters and set their values according to your environment.

On Linux, you can find that same template configuration file at /etc/edb-lasso.conf.templ.

You can see more details about how each of these arguments is used in Report types.
