+# Configuration <a id="configuration"></a>
+
+## Overview <a id="configuration-overview"></a>
+
+Apart from its web configuration capabilities, the local configuration is
+stored in `/etc/icingaweb2` by default (depending on your configuration setup).
+
+File/Directory | Description
+------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------
+[config.ini](03-Configuration.md#configuration-general) | General configuration (global, logging, themes, etc.)
+[resources.ini](04-Resources.md#resources) | Global resources (Icinga Web 2 database for preferences and authentication, Icinga 2 IDO database)
+[roles.ini](06-Security.md#security-roles) | User specific roles (e.g. `administrators`) and permissions
+[authentication.ini](05-Authentication.md) | Authentication backends (e.g. database)
+enabledModules | Symlinks to enabled modules
+modules | Directory for module specific configuration
+
+
+## General Configuration <a id="configuration-general"></a>
+
+Navigate into **Configuration > Application > General **.
+
+This configuration is stored in the `config.ini` file in `/etc/icingaweb2`.
+
+### Global Configuration <a id="configuration-general-global"></a>
+
+
+Option | Description
+-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------
+show\_stacktraces | **Optional.** Whether to show debug stacktraces. Defaults to `0`.
+module\_path | **Optional.** Specifies the directories where modules can be installed. Multiple directories must be separated with colons.
+config\_resource | **Required.** Specify a defined [resource](04-Resources.md#resources-configuration-database) name.
+
+
+Example for storing the user preferences in the database resource `icingaweb_db`:
+
+```
+[global]
+show_stacktraces = "0"
+config_resource = "icingaweb_db"
+module_path = "/usr/share/icingaweb2/modules"
+```
+
+### Logging Configuration <a id="configuration-general-logging"></a>
+
+Option | Description
+-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------
+log | **Optional.** Specifies the logging type. Can be set to `syslog`, `file`, `php` (web server's error log) or `none`.
+level | **Optional.** Specifies the logging level. Can be set to `ERROR`, `WARNING`, `INFORMATION` or `DEBUG`.
+file | **Optional.** Specifies the log file path if `log` is set to `file`.
+application | **Optional.** Specifies the application name if `log` is set to `syslog`.
+facility | **Optional.** Specifies the syslog facility if `log` is set to `syslog`. Can be set to `user`, `local0` to `local7`. Defaults to `user`.
+
+Example for more verbose debug logging into a file:
+
+```
+[logging]
+log = "file"
+level = "DEBUG"
+file = "/usr/share/icingaweb2/log/icingaweb2.log"
+```
+
+### Theme Configuration <a id="configuration-general-theme"></a>
+
+Option | Description
+-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------
+default | **Optional.** Choose the default theme. Can be set to `Icinga`, `high-contrast`, `Winter`, 'colorblind' or your own installed theme. Defaults to `Icinga`. Note that this setting is case-sensitive because it refers to the filename of the theme.
+disabled | **Optional.** Set this to `1` if users should not be allowed to change their theme. Defaults to `0`.
+
+Example:
+
+```
+[themes]
+disabled = "1"
+default = "high-contrast"
+```
