tideways-daemon Configuration Reference

--hostname

Changes the transmitted hostname from the system hostname to a custom defined one. It defaults to the server name, if possible the fully qualified server name. On Docker Containers the Container ID is appended to the hostname for de-duplication.

--debug

Log more information into the logfile.

--log

points to the logfile that should be used. The daemons init scripts use /var/log/tideways/daemon.log by default.

--log-parser-errors

Enables logging of errors in anomyization parsers, such as the SQL anonymizer.

--dryrun

Dry run mode not sending the data, for example to log which data will be sending.

--log-outgoing

Can be used to check what data is sent to Tideways if you want to control the privacy settings. Payload is logged into the daemon’s logfile (See --log flag).

--env

Toggles the environment this server is automatically registered in when first connecting to the Profiler. Defaults to "production". You can alternatively use the TIDEWAYS_ENVIRONMENT environment variable.

--version

Show version of the daemon and quit.

--pidfile

Points to a PID file used to cleanup sockets on startup.

--address

Change location of the default UNIX Socket or switch to TCP/IP (Not recommended!)

--udp

Change UDP address and port (Not recommended!)

--insecure

Do not verify the peer’s certificate (Not recommended!)

--retry-on-network-failure (New in 1.7)

Enable up to five retries using exponential backoff for payloads that failed to get transmitted to the backend due to errors or network failure. This is in Beta for now and not enabled by default.

--server-cert

Manually provide public part of the server’s certificate. Only to be used in combination with collection proxies.

--proxy

If outgoing traffic requires a proxy, use this flag to pass a host:port combination pointing to the proxy. Using proxy with authentication add`user:pass` in the URL, for example --proxy=http://user:pass@host:port.

--disable-server-metrics

disables the collection of Load, CPU, Memory, Network and disk metrics that are stored on each trace.

--statsd

Integration of statsD network daemon, setting ip:port sends data to StatsD service running on this ip and port.

--dogstatsd

Integration with Datadog daemon, setting to ip:port sends data to a datadog-agent using the DogstatsD protocol.

--use-connection-pool (New in 1.7.20)

For incoming connections from the PHP extension using a fixed size pool for processing instead of unbounded number of workers. Size of the pool can be set with --connection-pool-size=<number> and defaults to half the number of available cores by default. This feature is enabled by default since version 1.8 and can be disabled with --use-connectino-pool=false.
