# algod Configuration Settings
The `algod` process configuration parameters are shown in the table below.
-| Property| Description | Default Value |
+| Property| Description | Default Value |
|------|------|------|
-| AccountUpdatesStatsInterval | Time interval in nanoseconds for generating accountUpdates telemetry event. | 5000000000 |
-| AccountsRebuildSynchronousMode | The synchronous mode used by the ledger database while the account database is being rebuilt. This is not a typical operational usecase, and is expected to happen only on either startup ( after enabling the catchpoint interval, or on certain database upgrades ) or during fast catchup. The values specified here and their meanings are identical to the ones in LedgerSynchronousMode. | 1 |
-| AgreementIncomingBundlesQueueLength | The size of the buffer holding incoming bundles. | 7 |
-| AgreementIncomingProposalsQueueLength | The size of the buffer holding incoming proposals. | 25 |
-| AgreementIncomingVotesQueueLength | The size of the buffer holding incoming votes. | 10000 |
-| AnnounceParticipationKey | AnnounceParticipationKey specifies that this node should announce its participation key (with the largest stake) to its gossip peers. This allows peers to prioritize our connection, if necessary, in case of a DoS attack. Disabling this means that the peers will not have any additional information to allow them to prioritize our connection. | TRUE |
-| Archival | When true, the node is configured as an Archival node. Archival nodes retain a full copy of the ledger (blockchain). Non-Archival nodes will delete old blocks and only retain what's need to properly validate blockchain messages (currently the last 1000 blocks). This means non-Archival node ledgers can be significantly smaller than Archival node ledgers. Relays (nodes with a valid NetAddress) are always Archival, regardless of this setting. This may change in the future. If setting this to true for the first time, the existing ledger may need to be deleted to get the historical values stored as the setting only effects current blocks forward. To do this, shutdown the node and delete all .sqlite files within the data/testnet-version directory, except the crash.sqlite file. In most cases this will just be one file. Restart the node and wait for the node to sync. See [Node Types](../../run-a-node/setup/types.md) for more information. | FALSE |
-| BaseLoggerDebugLevel | Specifies the logging level for `algod` (node.log). The levels range from 0 (critical error / silent) to 5 (debug / verbose). The default value is 4 (‘Info’ - fairly verbose). | 4 |
-| BlockServiceCustomFallbackEndpoints | A comma delimited list of endpoints which the block service uses to redirect the http requests to in case it does not have the round. If it is not specified, will check EnableBlockServiceFallbackToArchiver. | |
-| BroadcastConnectionsLimit | BroadcastConnectionsLimit specifies the number of connections that will receive broadcast (gossip) messages from this node. If the node has more connections than this number, it will send broadcasts to the top connections by priority (outgoing connections first, then by money held by peers based on their participation key). 0 means no outgoing messages (not even transaction broadcasting to outgoing peers). -1 means unbounded (default). | -1 |
-| CadaverSizeTarget | Specifies the maximum size of the agreement.cdv file in bytes. Once full the file will be renamed to agreement.archive.log and a new agreement.cdv will be created. Specified in bytes. | 1073741824 |
-| CatchpointFileHistoryLength | CatchpointFileHistoryLength defines how many catchpoint files to store back. 0 means don't store any, -1 mean unlimited and positive number suggest the number of most recent catchpoint files. | 365 |
-| CatchpointInterval | CatchpointInterval set the interval at which catchpoint are being generated. | 10000 |
-| CatchpointTracking | Determines if catchpoints are going to be tracked. The value is interpreted as follows: A value of -1 means "don't track catchpoints". A value of 1 means "track catchpoints as long as CatchpointInterval is also set to a positive non-zero value". If CatchpointInterval <= 0, no catchpoint tracking would be performed. A value of 0 means automatic, which is the default value. In this mode, a non archival node would not track the catchpoints, and an archival node would track the catchpoints as long as CatchpointInterval > 0. Other values of CatchpointTracking would give a warning in the log file, and would behave as if the default value was provided. | 0 |
-| CatchupBlockDownloadRetryAttempts | CatchupLedgerDownloadRetryAttempts controls the number of attempt the block fetching would be attempted before giving up catching up to the provided catchpoint. | 1000 |
-| CatchupBlockValidateMode | A development and testing configuration used by the catchup service. It can be used to omit certain validations to speed up the catchup process, or to apply extra validations which are redundant in normal operation. This field is a bit-field with: bit 0: (default 0) 0: verify the block certificate; 1: skip this validation. bit 1: (default 0) 0: verify payset committed hash in block header matches payset hash; 1: skip this validation. bit 2: (default 0) 0: don't verify the transaction signatures on the block are valid; 1: verify the transaction signatures on block. bit 3: (default 0) 0: don't verify that the hash of the recomputed payset matches the hash of the payset committed in the block header; 1: do perform the above verification. Note: not all permutations of the above bitset are currently functional. In particular, the ones that are functional are: 0 : default behavior. 3 : speed up catchup by skipping necessary validations 12 : perform all validation methods (normal and additional). These extra tests helps to verify the integrity of the compiled executable against previously used executabled, and would not provide any additional security guarantees. | 0 |
-| CatchupFailurePeerRefreshRate | Maximum number of retries a node will attempt to sync. | 10 |
-| CatchupGossipBlockFetchTimeoutSec | Controls how long the gossip query for fetching a block from a relay would take before giving up and trying another relay. | 4 |
-| CatchupHTTPBlockFetchTimeoutSec | Controls how long the http query for fetching a block from a relay would take before giving up and trying another relay. | 4 |
-| CatchupLedgerDownloadRetryAttempts | Controls the number of attempt the ledger fetching would be attempted before giving up catching up to the provided catchpoint. | 50 |
-| CatchupParallelBlocks | The maximal number of blocks that catchup will fetch in parallel. If less than Protocol.SeedLookback, then Protocol.SeedLookback will be used as to limit the catchup. | 16 |
-| ConnectionsRateLimitingCount | ConnectionsRateLimitingCount is being used along with ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds to determine if a connection request should be accepted or not. The gossip network examine all the incoming requests in the past ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds seconds that share the same origin. If the total count exceed the ConnectionsRateLimitingCount value, the connection is refused. | 60 |
-| ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds | ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds is being used in conjunction with ConnectionsRateLimitingCount; see ConnectionsRateLimitingCount description for further information. Providing a zero value in this variable disables the connection rate limiting | 1 |
-| DNSBootstrapID | Specifies the name of a set of DNS SRV records that identify the set of nodes available to connect to. <network> will be replaced by the genesis block’s network name. | <network>.algorand.network | |
-| DNSSecurityFlags | DNSSecurityFlags instructs `algod` validating DNS responses. Possible flag values 0 - disabled, 1 (dnssecSRV) - validate SRV response, 2 (dnssecRelayAddr) - validate relays' names to addresses resolution, 4 (dnssecTelemetryAddr) - validate telemetry and metrics names to addresses resolution. | 1 |
-| DeadlockDetection | Control enabling / disabling deadlock detection. Negative (-1) to disable, positive (1) to enable, 0 for default. | 0 |
-| DeadlockDetectionThreshold | The threshold used for deadlock detection, in seconds. | 30 |
-| DisableLocalhostConnectionRateLimit | Controls whether the incoming connection rate limit would apply for connections that are originating from the local machine. Setting this to "true", allow to create large local-machine networks that won't trip the incoming connection limit observed by relays. | True |
-| DisableNetworking | Disables all the incoming and outgoing communication a node would perform. This is useful when we have a single-node private network, where there is no other nodes that need to be communicated with features like catchpoint catchup would be rendered completly non-operational, and many of the node inner working would be completly dis-functional. | False |

-| EnableAgreementReporting | Enable agreement reporting flag. Currently only prints additional period events. | FALSE |
-| EnableAgreementTimeMetrics | Enable agreement timing metrics flag | FALSE |
-| EnableAssembleStats | Generate AssembleBlockMetrics telemetry event | FALSE |
-| EnableBlockService | EnableBlockService enables the block serving service. The functionality of this depends on NetAddress, which must also be provided. This functionality is required for the catchup. | FALSE |
-| EnableBlockServiceFallbackToArchiver | Controls whether the block service redirects the http requests to an archiver or return StatusNotFound (404) when in does not have the requested round, and BlockServiceCustomFallbackEndpoints is empty. The archiver is randomly selected, if none is available, will return StatusNotFound (404). | True |
-| EnableCatchupFromArchiveServers | Controls which peers the catchup service would use in order to catchup. When enabled, the catchup service would use the archive servers before falling back to the relays. On networks that doesn't have archive servers, this becomes a no-op, as the catchup service would have no archive server to pick from, and therefore automatically selects one of the relay nodes. | False |
-| EnableDeveloperAPI | EnableDeveloperAPI enables teal/compile, teal/dryrun API endpoints. This functionality is disabled by default. | FALSE |
-| EnableGossipBlockService | EnableGossipBlockService enables the block serving service over the gossip network. The functionality of this depends on NetAddress, which must also be provided. This functionality is required for the relays to perform catchup from nodes. | TRUE |
-| EnableIncomingMessageFilter | Enable the filtering of incoming messages. | FALSE |
-| EnableLedgerService | EnableLedgerService enables the ledger serving service. The functionality of this depends on NetAddress, which must also be provided. This functionality is required for the catchpoint catchup. | FALSE |
-| EnableMetricReporting | Determines if the metrics service for a node is to be enabled. This setting controls metrics being collected from this specific instance of `algod`. If any instance has metrics enabled, machine-wide metrics are also collected. | FALSE |
-| EnableOutgoingNetworkMessageFiltering | Enable the filtering of outgoing messages. | TRUE |
-| EnablePingHandler | EnablePingHandler controls whether the gossip node would respond to ping messages with a pong message. | TRUE |
-| EnableProcessBlockStats | Generate ProcessBlockMetrics telemetry event. | FALSE |
-| EnableProfiler | EnableProfiler enables the go pprof endpoints, should be false if, the `algod` api will be exposed to untrusted individuals. | FALSE |
-| EnableRequestLogger | EnableRequestLogger enabled the logging of the incoming requests to the telemetry server. | FALSE |
-| EnableRuntimeMetrics | EnableRuntimeMetrics exposes Go runtime metrics in /metrics and via node_exporter. | FALSE |
-| EnableTopAccountsReporting | Enables tracking the accounts with the highest balances and generating a telemetry event after each block. Should be disabled. | FALSE |
-| EnableVerbosedTransactionSyncLogging | The transaction sync to write extensive message exchange information to the log file. This option is disabled by default, so that the log files would not grow too rapidly. | False |
-| EndpointAddress | Configures the address the node listens to for REST API calls. Specify an IP and port or just port. For example, 127.0.0.1:0 will listen on a random port on the localhost (preferring 8080) | 127.0.0.1:0 |
-| FallbackDNSResolverAddress | The fallback DNS resolver address that would be used if the system resolver would fail to retrieve SRV records. | |
-| ForceFetchTransactions | Explicitly configure a node to retrieve all the transactions into it's transaction pool, even if those would not be required as the node doesn't participate in the consensus or used to relay transactions. | False |
-| ForceRelayMessages | ForceRelayMessages indicates whether the network library relay messages even in the case that no NetAddress was specified. | FALSE |
-| GossipFanout | The GossipFanout setting sets the maximum number of peers the node will connect to with outgoing connections. If the list of peers is less than this setting, fewer connections will be made. The node will not connect to the same peer multiple times (with outgoing connections). | 4 |
-| IncomingConnectionsLimit | Limits the number of incoming connections and is meant for relays. Normal nodes should not use this setting. | 800 |
-| IncomingMessageFilterBucketCount | The number of incoming message hashes buckets. | 5 |
-| IncomingMessageFilterBucketSize | The size of each incoming message hash bucket. | 512 |
-| IsIndexerActive | This setting works in conjunction with the Archival setting. If Archival is set to false this setting does nothing. If it set to true, the node tracks all transactions stored on the node in an indexer and allows two additional REST calls for fast transaction searches. See [Node Types](../../run-a-node/setup/types.md) for more information. | FALSE |
-| LedgerSynchronousMode | The synchronous mode used by the ledger database. The supported options are: 0 - SQLite continues without syncing as soon as it has handed data off to the operating system. 1 - SQLite database engine will still sync at the most critical moments, but less often than in FULL mode. 2 - SQLite database engine will use the xSync method of the VFS to ensure that all content is safely written to the disk surface prior to continuing. On Mac OS, the data is additionally syncronized via fullfsync. 3 - In addition to what being done in 2, it provides additional durability if the commit is followed closely by a power loss. for further information see the description of SynchronousMode in dbutil.go | 2 |

-| MaxAcctLookback | MaxAcctLookback sets the maximum lookback range for account states, i.e. the ledger can answer account states questions for the range Latest-MaxAcctLookback...Latest | 8 |
-| MaxCatchpointDownloadDuration | The maximum duration a client will be keeping the outgoing connection of a catchpoint download request open for processing before shutting it down. Networks that have large catchpoint files, slow connection or slow storage could be a good reason to increase this value. Note that this is a client-side only configuration value, and it's independent of the actual catchpoint file size. | 7200000000000 |
-| MaxConnectionsPerIP | Maximum connections per IP address. | 30 |
-| MinCatchpointFileDownloadBytesPerSecond | The minimal download speed that would be considered to be "acceptable" by the catchpoint file fetcher, measured in bytes per seconds. If the provided stream speed drops below this threshold, the connection would be recycled. Note that this field is evaluated per catchpoint "chunk" and not on it's own. If this field is zero, the default of 20480 would be used. | 20480 |
-| NetAddress | The address and/or port on which the relay node listens for incoming connections, or blank to ignore incoming connections. Specify an IP and port or just a port. For example, 127.0.0.1:0 will listen on a random port on the localhost. | |
-| NetworkMessageTraceServer | TraceServer is a host:port to report graph propagation trace info to. | |
-| NetworkProtocolVersion | NetworkProtocolVersion overrides network protocol version ( if present ). | |
-| NodeExporterListenAddress | Used to set the specific address for publishing metrics; the Prometheus server connects to this incoming port to retrieve metrics. | :9100 |
-| NodeExporterPath | Specifies the path for the node_exporter binary; this binary is responsible for collecting metrics from the machine and each node instance with metrics enabled. | ./node_exporter |

-| ReconnectTime | Interval between RPC calls to a random peer to sync from their transactions. Specified in nanoseconds. | 60000000000 |
-| ReservedFDs | To make sure the `algod` process does not run out of FDs, `algod` ensures that RLIMIT_NOFILE exceeds the max number of incoming connections (i.e., IncomingConnectionsLimit) by at least ReservedFDs. ReservedFDs are meant to leave room for short-lived FDs like DNS queries, SQLite files, etc. | 256 |
-| RestConnectionsHardLimit | The http server does not accept new connections as long we have this many (hard limit) connections already. | 2048 |
-| RestConnectionsSoftLimit | When the number of http connections to the REST layer exceeds the soft limit, we start returning http code 429 Too Many Requests. | 1024 |

-| TxSyncTimeoutSeconds | Time to wait for a Transaction Sync RPC call to return. Specified in seconds. | 30 |
-| UseXForwardedForAddressField | Indicates whether or not the node should use the X-Forwarded-For HTTP Header when determining the source of a connection. If used, it should be set to the string "X-Forwarded-For", unless the proxy vendor provides another header field. In the case of CloudFlare proxy, the "CF-Connecting-IP" header field can be used. | |
-| VerifiedTranscationsCacheSize | The number of transactions that the verified transactions cache would hold before cycling the cache storage in a round-robin fashion. | 30000 |
+| Version | Version tracks the current version of the defaults so we can migrate old -> new
This is specifically important whenever we decide to change the default value
for an existing parameter. This field tag must be updated any time we add a new version. | 30 |
+| Archival | environmental (may be overridden)

+| TLSCertFile | for https serving | |
+| BaseLoggerDebugLevel | Logging | 4 |
+| CadaverSizeTarget | if this is 0, do not produce agreement.cadaver | 0 |
+| IncomingConnectionsLimit | IncomingConnectionsLimit specifies the max number of long-lived incoming
connections. 0 means no connections allowed. Must be non-negative.
Estimating 1.5MB per incoming connection, 1.5MB*2400 = 3.6GB | 2400 |

will receive broadcast (gossip) messages from this node. If the
node has more connections than this number, it will send broadcasts
to the top connections by priority (outgoing connections first, then
by money held by peers based on their participation key). 0 means
no outgoing messages (not even transaction broadcasting to outgoing
peers). -1 means unbounded (default). | -1 |
+| AnnounceParticipationKey | AnnounceParticipationKey specifies that this node should announce its
participation key (with the largest stake) to its gossip peers. This
allows peers to prioritize our connection, if necessary, in case of a
DoS attack. Disabling this means that the peers will not have any
additional information to allow them to prioritize our connection. | true |
+| PriorityPeers | PriorityPeers specifies peer IP addresses that should always get
outgoing broadcast messages from this node. | |
+| ReservedFDs | To make sure the algod process does not run out of FDs, algod ensures
that RLIMIT_NOFILE >= IncomingConnectionsLimit + RestConnectionsHardLimit +
ReservedFDs. ReservedFDs are meant to leave room for short-lived FDs like
DNS queries, SQLite files, etc. This parameter shouldn't be changed.
If RLIMIT_NOFILE < IncomingConnectionsLimit + RestConnectionsHardLimit + ReservedFDs
then either RestConnectionsHardLimit or IncomingConnectionsLimit decreased. | 256 |

+| UseXForwardedForAddressField | UseXForwardedForAddress indicates whether or not the node should use the X-Forwarded-For HTTP Header when
determining the source of a connection. If used, it should be set to the string "X-Forwarded-For", unless the
proxy vendor provides another header field. In the case of CloudFlare proxy, the "CF-Connecting-IP" header
field can be used. | |
+| ForceRelayMessages | ForceRelayMessages indicates whether the network library relay messages even in the case that no NetAddress was specified. | false |
+| ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds | ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds is being used in conjunction with ConnectionsRateLimitingCount;
see ConnectionsRateLimitingCount description for further information. Providing a zero value
in this variable disables the connection rate limiting. | 1 |
+| ConnectionsRateLimitingCount | ConnectionsRateLimitingCount is being used along with ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds to determine if
a connection request should be accepted or not. The gossip network examine all the incoming requests in the past
ConnectionsRateLimitingWindowSeconds seconds that share the same origin. If the total count exceed the ConnectionsRateLimitingCount
value, the connection is refused. | 60 |
+| EnableRequestLogger | EnableRequestLogger enabled the logging of the incoming requests to the telemetry server. | false |
+| PeerConnectionsUpdateInterval | PeerConnectionsUpdateInterval defines the interval at which the peer connections information is being sent to the
telemetry ( when enabled ). Defined in seconds. | 3600 |
+| HeartbeatUpdateInterval | HeartbeatUpdateInterval defines the interval at which the heartbeat information is being sent to the
telemetry ( when enabled ). Defined in seconds. Minimum value is 60. | 600 |

... | 1 |
+| EnablePingHandler | EnablePingHandler controls whether the gossip node would respond to ping messages with a pong message. | true |
+| DisableOutgoingConnectionThrottling | DisableOutgoingConnectionThrottling disables the connection throttling of the network library, which
allow the network library to continuesly disconnect relays based on their relative ( and absolute ) performance. | false |
+| NetworkProtocolVersion | NetworkProtocolVersion overrides network protocol version ( if present ) | |
+| CatchpointInterval | CatchpointInterval sets the interval at which catchpoint are being generated. Setting this to 0 disables the catchpoint from being generated.
See CatchpointTracking for more details. | 10000 |
+| CatchpointFileHistoryLength | CatchpointFileHistoryLength defines how many catchpoint files we want to store back.
0 means don't store any, -1 mean unlimited and positive number suggest the number of most recent catchpoint files. | 365 |
+| EnableLedgerService | EnableLedgerService enables the ledger serving service. The functionality of this depends on NetAddress, which must also be provided.
This functionality is required for the catchpoint catchup. | false |
+| EnableBlockService | EnableBlockService enables the block serving service. The functionality of this depends on NetAddress, which must also be provided.
This functionality is required for the catchup. | false |
+| EnableGossipBlockService | EnableGossipBlockService enables the block serving service over the gossip network. The functionality of this depends on NetAddress, which must also be provided.
This functionality is required for the relays to perform catchup from nodes. | true |
+| CatchupHTTPBlockFetchTimeoutSec | CatchupHTTPBlockFetchTimeoutSec controls how long the http query for fetching a block from a relay would take before giving up and trying another relay. | 4 |
+| CatchupGossipBlockFetchTimeoutSec | CatchupGossipBlockFetchTimeoutSec controls how long the gossip query for fetching a block from a relay would take before giving up and trying another relay. | 4 |
+| CatchupLedgerDownloadRetryAttempts | CatchupLedgerDownloadRetryAttempts controls the number of attempt the ledger fetching would be attempted before giving up catching up to the provided catchpoint. | 50 |
+| CatchupBlockDownloadRetryAttempts | CatchupLedgerDownloadRetryAttempts controls the number of attempt the block fetching would be attempted before giving up catching up to the provided catchpoint. | 1000 |
+| EnableDeveloperAPI | EnableDeveloperAPI enables teal/compile, teal/dryrun API endpoints.
This functionality is disabled by default. | false |
+| OptimizeAccountsDatabaseOnStartup | OptimizeAccountsDatabaseOnStartup controls whether the accounts database would be optimized
on algod startup. | false |
+| CatchpointTracking | CatchpointTracking determines if catchpoints are going to be tracked. The value is interpreted as follows:
A value of -1 means "don't track catchpoints".
A value of 1 means "track catchpoints as long as CatchpointInterval > 0".
A value of 2 means "track catchpoints and always generate catchpoint files as long as CatchpointInterval > 0".
A value of 0 means automatic, which is the default value. In this mode, a non archival node would not track the catchpoints, and an archival node would track the catchpoints as long as CatchpointInterval > 0.
Other values of CatchpointTracking would give a warning in the log file, and would behave as if the default value was provided. | 0 |
+| LedgerSynchronousMode | LedgerSynchronousMode defines the synchronous mode used by the ledger database. The supported options are:
0 - SQLite continues without syncing as soon as it has handed data off to the operating system.
1 - SQLite database engine will still sync at the most critical moments, but less often than in FULL mode.
2 - SQLite database engine will use the xSync method of the VFS to ensure that all content is safely written to the disk surface prior to continuing. On Mac OS, the data is additionally syncronized via fullfsync.
3 - In addition to what being done in 2, it provides additional durability if the commit is followed closely by a power loss.
for further information see the description of SynchronousMode in dbutil.go | 2 |
+| AccountsRebuildSynchronousMode | AccountsRebuildSynchronousMode defines the synchronous mode used by the ledger database while the account database is being rebuilt. This is not a typical operational usecase,
and is expected to happen only on either startup ( after enabling the catchpoint interval, or on certain database upgrades ) or during fast catchup. The values specified here
and their meanings are identical to the ones in LedgerSynchronousMode. | 1 |
+| MaxCatchpointDownloadDuration | MaxCatchpointDownloadDuration defines the maximum duration a client will be keeping the outgoing connection of a catchpoint download request open for processing before
shutting it down. Networks that have large catchpoint files, slow connection or slow storage could be a good reason to increase this value. Note that this is a client-side only
configuration value, and it's independent of the actual catchpoint file size. | 43200000000000 |
+| MinCatchpointFileDownloadBytesPerSecond | MinCatchpointFileDownloadBytesPerSecond defines the minimal download speed that would be considered to be "acceptable" by the catchpoint file fetcher, measured in bytes per seconds. If the
provided stream speed drops below this threshold, the connection would be recycled. Note that this field is evaluated per catchpoint "chunk" and not on it's own. If this field is zero,
the default of 20480 would be used. | 20480 |
+| NetworkMessageTraceServer | TraceServer is a host:port to report graph propagation trace info to. | |
+| VerifiedTranscationsCacheSize | VerifiedTranscationsCacheSize defines the number of transactions that the verified transactions cache would hold before cycling the cache storage in a round-robin fashion. | 150000 |
+| EnableCatchupFromArchiveServers | EnableCatchupFromArchiveServers controls which peers the catchup service would use in order to catchup.
When enabled, the catchup service would use the archive servers before falling back to the relays.
On networks that doesn't have archive servers, this becomes a no-op, as the catchup service would have no
archive server to pick from, and therefore automatically selects one of the relay nodes. | false |
+| DisableLocalhostConnectionRateLimit | DisableLocalhostConnectionRateLimit controls whether the incoming connection rate limit would apply for
connections that are originating from the local machine. Setting this to "true", allow to create large
local-machine networks that won't trip the incoming connection limit observed by relays. | true |
+| BlockServiceCustomFallbackEndpoints | BlockServiceCustomFallbackEndpoints is a comma delimited list of endpoints which the block service uses to
redirect the http requests to in case it does not have the round. If it is not specified, will check
EnableBlockServiceFallbackToArchiver. | |
+| EnableBlockServiceFallbackToArchiver | EnableBlockServiceFallbackToArchiver controls whether the block service redirects the http requests to
an archiver or return StatusNotFound (404) when in does not have the requested round, and
BlockServiceCustomFallbackEndpoints is empty.
The archiver is randomly selected, if none is available, will return StatusNotFound (404). | true |
+| CatchupBlockValidateMode | CatchupBlockValidateMode is a development and testing configuration used by the catchup service.
It can be used to omit certain validations to speed up the catchup process, or to apply extra validations which are redundant in normal operation.
This field is a bit-field with:
bit 0: (default 0) 0: verify the block certificate; 1: skip this validation
bit 1: (default 0) 0: verify payset committed hash in block header matches payset hash; 1: skip this validation
bit 2: (default 0) 0: don't verify the transaction signatures on the block are valid; 1: verify the transaction signatures on block
bit 3: (default 0) 0: don't verify that the hash of the recomputed payset matches the hash of the payset committed in the block header; 1: do perform the above verification
Note: not all permutations of the above bitset are currently functional. In particular, the ones that are functional are:
0 : default behavior.
3 : speed up catchup by skipping necessary validations
12 : perform all validation methods (normal and additional). These extra tests helps to verify the integrity of the compiled executable against
previously used executabled, and would not provide any additional security guarantees. | 0 |
+| EnableAccountUpdatesStats | Generate AccountUpdates telemetry event | false |
+| AccountUpdatesStatsInterval | Time interval in nanoseconds for generating accountUpdates telemetry event | 5000000000 |
+| ParticipationKeysRefreshInterval | ParticipationKeysRefreshInterval is the duration between two consecutive checks to see if new participation
keys have been placed on the genesis directory. | 60000000000 |
+| DisableNetworking | DisableNetworking disables all the incoming and outgoing communication a node would perform. This is useful
when we have a single-node private network, where there is no other nodes that need to be communicated with.
features like catchpoint catchup would be rendered completly non-operational, and many of the node inner
working would be completly dis-functional. | false |
+| ForceFetchTransactions | ForceFetchTransactions allows to explicitly configure a node to retrieve all the transactions
into it's transaction pool, even if those would not be required as the node doesn't
participate in the consensus or used to relay transactions. | false |
+| EnableVerbosedTransactionSyncLogging | EnableVerbosedTransactionSyncLogging enables the transaction sync to write extensive
message exchange information to the log file. This option is disabled by default,
so that the log files would not grow too rapidly. | false |
+| TransactionSyncDataExchangeRate | TransactionSyncDataExchangeRate overrides the auto-calculated data exchange rate between each
two peers. The unit of the data exchange rate is in bytes per second. Setting the value to
zero implies allowing the transaction sync to dynamically calculate the value. | 0 |
+| TransactionSyncSignificantMessageThreshold | TransactionSyncSignificantMessageThreshold define the threshold used for a transaction sync
message before it can be used for calculating the data exchange rate. Setting this to zero
would use the default values. The threshold is defined in units of bytes. | 0 |
+| ProposalAssemblyTime | ProposalAssemblyTime is the max amount of time to spend on generating a proposal block. | 500000000 |
+| RestConnectionsSoftLimit | When the number of http connections to the REST layer exceeds the soft limit,
we start returning http code 429 Too Many Requests. | 1024 |
+| RestConnectionsHardLimit | The http server does not accept new connections as long we have this many
(hard limit) connections already. | 2048 |
+| MaxAPIResourcesPerAccount | MaxAPIResourcesPerAccount sets the maximum total number of resources (created assets, created apps,
asset holdings, and application local state) per account that will be allowed in AccountInformation
REST API responses before returning a 400 Bad Request. Set zero for no limit. | 100000 |
+| AgreementIncomingVotesQueueLength | AgreementIncomingVotesQueueLength sets the size of the buffer holding incoming votes. | 20000 |
+| AgreementIncomingProposalsQueueLength | AgreementIncomingProposalsQueueLength sets the size of the buffer holding incoming proposals. | 50 |
+| AgreementIncomingBundlesQueueLength | AgreementIncomingBundlesQueueLength sets the size of the buffer holding incoming bundles. | 15 |
+| MaxAcctLookback | MaxAcctLookback sets the maximum lookback range for account states,
i.e. the ledger can answer account states questions for the range Latest-MaxAcctLookback...Latest | 4 |
+| EnableUsageLog | EnableUsageLog enables 10Hz log of CPU and RAM usage.
Also adds 'algod_ram_usage` (number of bytes in use) to /metrics | false |
+| MaxAPIBoxPerApplication | MaxAPIBoxPerApplication defines the maximum total number of boxes per application that will be returned
in GetApplicationBoxes REST API responses. | 100000 |
+| TxIncomingFilteringFlags | TxIncomingFilteringFlags instructs algod filtering incoming tx messages
Flag values:
0x00 - disabled
0x01 (txFilterRawMsg) - check for raw tx message duplicates
0x02 (txFilterCanonical) - check for canonical tx group duplicates | 1 |
+| EnableExperimentalAPI | EnableExperimentalAPI enables experimental API endpoint. Note that these endpoints have no
guarantees in terms of functionality or future support. | false |
+| DisableLedgerLRUCache | DisableLedgerLRUCache disables LRU caches in ledger.
Setting it to TRUE might result in significant performance degradation
and SHOULD NOT be used for other reasons than testing. | false |
+| EnableFollowMode | EnableFollowMode launches the node in "follower" mode. This turns off the agreement service,
and APIs related to broadcasting transactions, and enables APIs which can retrieve detailed information
from ledger caches and can control the ledger round. | false |
+| EnableTxnEvalTracer | EnableTxnEvalTracer turns on features in the BlockEvaluator which collect data on transactions, exposing them via algod APIs.
It will store txn deltas created during block evaluation, potentially consuming much larger amounts of memory, | false |
+| StorageEngine | StorageEngine allows to control which type of storage to use for the ledger.
Available options are:
- sqlite (default)
- pebbledb (experimental, in development) | sqlite |
+| TxIncomingFilterMaxSize | TxIncomingFilterMaxSize sets the maximum size for the de-duplication cache used by the incoming tx filter
only relevant if TxIncomingFilteringFlags is non-zero | 500000 |
+| BlockServiceMemCap | BlockServiceMemCap is the memory capacity in bytes which is allowed for the block service to use for HTTP block requests.
When it exceeds this capacity, it redirects the block requests to a different node | 500000000 |
+| P2PEnable | P2PEnable turns on the peer to peer network | false |
+| P2PPersistPeerID | P2PPersistPeerID will write the private key used for the node's PeerID to the P2PPrivateKeyLocation.
This is only used when P2PEnable is true. If P2PPrivateKey is not specified, it uses the default location. | true |
+| P2PPrivateKeyLocation | P2PPrivateKeyLocation allows the user to specify a custom path to the private key used for the node's PeerID.
The private key provided must be an ed25519 private key.
This is only used when P2PEnable is true. If the parameter is not set, it uses the default location. | |
+| DisableAPIAuth | DisableAPIAuth turns off authentication for public (non-admin) API endpoints. | false |
+
