## Configuration

Edit the `python.d/rethinkdbs.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the
Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically
at `/etc/netdata`.

```bash
cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/rethinkdbs.conf
```

```yaml
localhost:
  name: 'local'
  host: '127.0.0.1'
  port: 28015
  user: "user"
  password: "pass"
```

When no configuration file is found, module tries to connect to `127.0.0.1:28015`.
