1.5. Configuring Hammer

The default location for global hammer configuration is:

  • /etc/hammer/cli_config.yml for general hammer settings
  • /etc/hammer/cli.modules.d/ for CLI module configuration files

You can set user specific directives for hammer (in ~/.hammer/cli_config.yml) as well as for CLI modules (in respective .yml files under ~/.hammer/cli.modules.d/).

To see the order in which configuration files are loaded, as well as versions of loaded modules, issue: 

$ hammer -d --version
注記

Loading configuration for many CLI modules can slow down the execution of hammer commands. In such a case, consider disabling CLI modules that are not regularly used.

Apart from saving credentials as described in 「Authentication」, you can set several other options in the ~/.hammer/ configuration directory. For example, you can change the default log level and set log rotation with the following directives in ~/.hammer/cli_config.yml. Note that these directives affect only the current user and are not applied globally. 

:log_level: 'warning'
:log_size: 5 #in MB

Similarly, you can configure user interface settings. For example, set the number of entries displayed per request in the Hammer output by changing the following line: 

:per_page: 30

This setting is an equivalent of the --per-page Hammer option.
