The following options can be defined globally: priority, penalty, autodetection_retry, update_every, but can also be defined per JOB to override the global values. Additionally, the following collapsed table contains all the options that can be configured inside a JOB definition. Every configuration JOB starts with a `job_name` value which will appear in the dashboard, unless a `name` parameter is specified. folding: title: "Config options" enabled: true list: - name: update_every description: Sets the default data collection frequency. default_value: 5 required: false - name: priority description: Controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. default_value: 60000 required: false - name: autodetection_retry description: Sets the job re-check interval in seconds. default_value: 0 required: false - name: penalty description: Indicates whether to apply penalty to update_every in case of failures. default_value: yes required: false - name: name description: Job name. This value will overwrite the `job_name` value. JOBS with the same name are mutually exclusive. Only one of them will be allowed running at any time. This allows autodetection to try several alternatives and pick the one that works. default_value: "" required: false - name: hostname description: Define a hostname where boinc is running. default_value: "localhost" required: false - name: port description: The port of boinc RPC interface. default_value: "" required: false - name: password description: Provide a password to connect to a boinc RPC interface. default_value: "" required: false examples: folding: enabled: true title: "Config" list: - name: Configuration of a remote boinc instance description: A basic JOB configuration for a remote boinc instance folding: enabled: false config: | remote: hostname: '1.2.3.4' port: 1234 password: 'some-password' - name: Multi-instance description: | > **Note**: When you define multiple jobs, their names must be unique.
