Application Settings

Application settings are configured through the UI in the Admin | Settings section, or may be manually edited using the runtime\intelligencehub-settings.json file. By default, the installation includes an example file with a .template extension. This file contains default settings, but will not be used by the runtime until it is renamed.

Application Settings are loaded on startup. Changes made through the UI page take effect immediately. Any manual edits made directly to the file will not take effect until the runtime is restarted.

By default, the runtime looks for the settings file in the appData directory. The location of the settings file can be configured when launching the runtime using a java property or environment variable. Below are examples of how to change the location of the file.

# As a java property
java -cp intelligencehub-X.X.jar:/lib* -Dhighbyte.settingsFile=/path/to/settings.json start

# As an environment variable
HIGHBYTE_SETTINGS_FILE=/path/to/settings.json java -cp intelligencehub-3.0.jar:/lib* start
