How to customize the server info report configurations#
We can change the report configurations in the plugin_attr section of conf/config.yaml.
| Name | Type | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|---|
| report_interval | integer | 60 | the interval to report server info to etcd (unit: second, maximum: 3600, minimum: 60). | 
| report_ttl | integer | 7200 | the live time for server info in etcd (unit: second, maximum: 86400, minimum: 3600). | 
Here is an example, which modifies the report_interval to 10 minutes and sets the report_ttl to one hour.
plugin_attr:
  server-info:
    report_interval: 600,
    report_ttl: 3600
Test Plugin#
After enabling this plugin, you can access these data through the plugin Control API:
