Configuration

Converge sources configuration from a number of different places:

Command-Line Flags

Command-line flags will always be considered over any other source. To view them, send --help to any command. In addition, all commands have these flags:

• --config: set the config file (see below for more info on this file)
• --log-level: log level, one of DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, or FATAL (INFO is used by default)
• --nocolor: set to force colorless output

Environment

Environment variables are the same names as command-line flags, but prefixed by CONVERGE_ and with dashes replaced with underscores. For example, the --log-level flag can be set by setting the CONVERGE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable.

Config Files

Converge will source a single config file as a fallback. This config file can JSON, TOML, YAML, HCL, or a Java properties file (this is detected by file extension.) The keys of this file are the same as the command-line flags. Converge looks in /etc/converge/config.{ext} by default, but you can change this with the global --config flag.
