Each non-empty line specifies a variable name and its value separated by the equal sign ('='). The following variables are available:

VERBOSE

Set logging verbosity level. The default value is: 3.

LOG_SPEC

Set verbosity mask on a per category basis. The format of this value is described in vela-zone-helper(8). The default value is: core.accounting:4.

NO_SYSLOG

Send log messages to the standard output instead of syslog. The default value is: 0 (False).

  • 2 = Filter loopback address ranges ('127.0.0.0/8', '::1/128')

  • 3 = Filtering of private address ranges ('192.168.0.0/16', '10.0.0.0/8', '172.16. 0.0/12', 'fc00::/7'), link-local address ranges ('169.254.0.0/16', 'fe80::/10') and multicast ranges (224.0.0.0/4 , 'ff00::/8')

RESOLVER_THREADS

Set the maximum number of DNS resolver threads. To perform non-threaded resolving operations, set the value to 0. The default value is 8.
