On this page

This page lists every setting Flow seeds at 5.0.0-beta.39: 52 settings in 9 groups, in the order Admin › Settings lists the groups. An admin changes them in Admin › Settings, or with PATCH /api/v2/settings and a body of {"<group>": {"<key>": value}}, using the group key and key below. See Admin.

  • Restart: none needed. A saved setting applies without a restart. The exceptions:
    • Audit › Retention Days applies within about a minute, on every instance.
    • Features › Workspace creation by users applies to sessions signed in after the change.
    • Run limits › Activity Retention (days) applies at the next hourly purge pass, which reads it.
    • Tasks › Default Image Path, Deletion Policy and Maximum task duration apply when a run is queued: a run already queued keeps the value it was queued with.
  • Default: the value on a new install. An upgraded install keeps the values it had. A toggle's default is On or Off; the API reads it as true or false.
  • Secured: a secured value is stored encrypted and never shown: the webapp shows Set when it holds one, and the API returns *****. Its default here is "Not shown".

Deployment configuration, read at start, is in properties instead: see All properties.

Artifacts

Files that upload tasks attach to a run, and the task logs dispatchers store. A file is deleted when it expires; nothing is deleted to make room. Group key: artifacts.

Label Key Type Default Description
Default Retention (days) retention.default.days Number 30 Days an artifact is kept after upload when neither its workspace nor its upload task sets a retention.
Maximum Retention (days) retention.max.days Number 90 The longest any workspace or upload task may keep an artifact, in days.
Largest Artifact (MB) max.artifact.size Number 1024 The largest file an upload task may store, in MB. A bigger upload fails its task.
Store Task Logs logs.enabled Toggle On Store the finished log a dispatcher sends for each task and serve it ahead of the dispatcher's live log. Off tells dispatchers their logs are not stored; logs already stored are served until they expire.
Note: Logs are stored only while the artifact store is on (flow.artifacts.enabled).
Task Log Retention (days) logs.retention.days Number 7 Days a stored task log is kept. Independent of artifact retention; a log never counts toward artifact storage.

Audit

Control the capture and retention of the audit trail. Group key: audit.

Label Key Type Default Description
Enabled enabled Toggle On Capture an audit event for every audited operation. Disabling stops capture immediately; nothing is captured retroactively when re-enabled.
Level level Text WRITE Capture verbosity: DESTRUCTIVE records deletes only, WRITE records all mutations, ALL adds sensitive reads and exports.
Retention Days retentionDays Number 365 Days audit events are retained before expiry. Applied to the TTL index at startup and within about a minute of a change, on every instance; floored at 60 days because monthly quota counting needs at least one month of events.

Authentication

The identity provider that signs people in, and how their tokens are exchanged. Group key: auth.

Label Key Type Default Description
OIDC Issuer oidc.issuer Text blank The issuer URL of the single trusted OIDC provider (e.g. local IDPZero) accepted for the direct id_token login path of the sign-in exchange. Empty disables that path entirely.
Note: Seeded at start from the property flow.auth.oidc.issuer while blank. A value set here is never overwritten by the property. See Sign in with OpenID Connect.
OIDC Client ID oidc.clientId Text blank The OAuth2 client id (public client, no secret) the id_token's aud claim must match.
Note: Seeded at start from the property flow.auth.oidc.client-id while blank, as OIDC Issuer is.

Customization

The name, logo and links this instance shows its users. Group key: customizations.

Label Key Type Default Description
App Name appName Text Flow The name to appear in the header (and throughout the App) that appears to the right of the Platform Name or Logo.
Platform Name platformName Text Boomerang The overall platform name. This only appears if the logo is set to not appear.
Display Platform Logo displayLogo Toggle On Whether to display the platforms Logo or use the Platform Name.
Logo URL logoURL Text blank A URL for retrieving the Platform Logo.

Features

Turn parts of the product on or off for everyone. Group key: features.

Label Key Type Default Description
Activity activity Toggle On Allow users to access and interact with Activity
Insights insights Toggle On Allow users to access and view Insights
Workspace Quotas workspaceQuotas Toggle On Enforce Workspace level quotas
Note: The only switch for quotas: no property turns them off. See Turn quotas off.
Workflow Triggers workflowTriggers Toggle On Enable Workflow Triggers to be visible on the Workflows Configuration
Workflow Tokens workflowTokens Toggle On Enable Workflow Tokens to be visible on the Workflows Configuration
Note: Has no effect while Flow runs with security off (flow.security.enabled=false).
Workspace Parameters workspaceParameters Toggle On Enable users to access and create Workspace Parameters
Global Parameters globalParameters Toggle On Enable users to access and create Global Parameters
Workspace Management workspaceManagement Toggle On Allow management and editing of Workspaces. The Workspaces screen will always be visible but if disabled will be in view only mode
Note: Off, whatever its value, while flow.workspace.single is true.
Workspace creation by users workspaceCreate Toggle On Let any signed-in user create a workspace and become its owner. Admins and operators always can; a change applies to sessions signed in afterwards.
Note: Off, whatever its value, while flow.workspace.single is true.
Auto-Create Users autoCreateUsers Toggle On Create a user account the first time someone signs in. When off, a person who isn't a user yet can sign in only if an admin has added them to a workspace or the admin claim admits them. Existing users are unaffected.
User Management userManagement Toggle On Allow management and editing of Users. The Users screen will always be visible but if disabled will be in view only mode
Note: Off, whatever its value, while flow.workspace.single is true.
Workspace Tasks workspaceTasks Toggle On Allow users to access and create Workspace Tasks

Integrations

Credentials and endpoints for the systems Flow connects to. Group key: integration.

Label Key Type Default Description
Slack Auth Token slack.token Secured Not shown The default auth token for authenticating as a Slack app. Only used if installing into a single workspace and not a distributed app.
Slack App ID slack.appId Text blank The App ID from your Slack apps credentials.
Slack Client ID slack.clientId Text blank The Client ID from your Slack apps credentials.
Note: The Integrations page lists Slack once Slack Client ID and Slack Client Secret are set.
Slack Client Secret slack.clientSecret Secured Not shown The Client Secret from your Slack apps credentials.
Slack Signing Secret slack.signingSecret Secured Not shown The Signing Secret from your Slack apps credentials.
Note: With none set, Flow refuses every request to its Slack commands, interactivity and events routes.
GitHub App ID github.appId Text blank The GitHub App ID
GitHub Private Key github.jwt Secured Not shown Private key used to sign access token requests
GitHub App Name github.appName Text blank The GitHub App Name
GitHub Client ID github.clientId Text blank The Client ID from your GitHub App credentials.
GitHub Client Secret github.clientSecret Secured Not shown The Client Secret from your GitHub App credentials.
GitHub Webhook Secret github.webhookSecret Secured Not shown The Webhook Secret configured on your GitHub App, used to verify the X-Hub-Signature-256 header on incoming webhook payloads.
Note: With none set, Flow refuses every GitHub event with 401.

Quotas

The limits every workspace starts with; a workspace can override them. Group key: quotas.

Label Key Type Default Description
Maximum Concurrent Workflows max.workflowrun.concurrent Number 4 The number of workflows that can be running at the same time
Maximum Number of Workflows max.workflow.count Number 10 The total number of workflows that a team can have
Max WorkflowRuns per month max.workflowrun.monthly Number 20 The number of workflow executions per month
Max WorkflowRun Duration max.workflowrun.duration Number 30 The maximum time that a workflow can be executing for in minutes
Max Workspace Storage max.workspace.storage Text 2Gi Maximum size of the shared workspace a run may declare
Note: Also the size a run workspace gets when its workflow leaves the size blank, lowered to the workspace's own storage quota when that's smaller.
Max Artifact Storage max.artifact.storage Text 5Gi Maximum storage the workspace's unexpired artifacts may hold

Run limits

How deep a run may nest child workflows, how many items a for-each may fan out to, and how long finished runs are kept. Group key: workflowrun.

Label Key Type Default Description
Maximum Child Workflow Nesting Depth max.nesting.depth Number 5 How many levels of child workflows a run may nest. A runworkflow task at the cap fails instead of submitting another child.
Maximum For-Each Items max.foreach.items Number 256 How many items a for-each task may run. A task whose items resolve to more fails instead of running any.
Finally Timeout (minutes) finally.timeout Number 5 Minutes the finally tasks of a run may take once its graph has ended. Each finally task's own timeout is capped by it; when it passes, the run completes and any finally task still running is ended.
Activity Retention (days) retention.days Number 365 Days a finished run and its task runs, actions, artifacts and logs are kept. Floored at 60 so monthly quota counts stay complete.
Note: Applies at the next hourly purge pass, which reads it.

Tasks

How task containers run: images, worker clean-up, timeouts. Group key: task.

Label Key Type Default Description
Enable Debug debug Toggle On Enable Debug logging for worker logs
Default Image Path default.image Text boomerangio/task-flow:3.3.0 Default container image to be used by the Worker including version
Note: A template or script task without an image of its own runs on it. See Set the task image.
Note: Applies when a run is queued: a run already queued keeps the value it was queued with.
Deletion Policy deletion.policy Select Never (keep until the retention period) (Never) When a finished task's worker (its Kubernetes Job or Tekton TaskRun) is removed. A task's logs are read from its worker, so they go with it, and a run's storage is only freed once no worker still holds it. Always: at task end. On Success: at task end if the task succeeded; a failed task's worker stays for its logs. Never: not at task end; the worker, its logs and any storage it holds stay until the retention period (kube.task.ttlDays, 7 days by default) removes it.
Options: Never (keep until the retention period) (Never), On Success (remove when a task succeeds) (OnSuccess), Always (remove when a task ends) (Always).
Note: Applies when a run is queued: a run already queued keeps the value it was queued with.
Enable Verified Tasks to be edited edit.verified Toggle Off When enabled, verified tasks can be edited in the task manager
Maximum task duration default.timeout Number 0 Maximum minutes any single task may run, whatever its run allows. Set to 0 to let tasks inherit the run's timeout.
Note: Applies when a run is queued: a run already queued keeps the value it was queued with.
