Change your defaults

Set pace, excluded profiles, dry-run default, notifications and logs, in the app or the config file.

Change your defaults

Set the defaults every run starts from: pace, excluded profiles, dry-run, notifications and logs. Change them in the app's Settings, or with blowhorn config set for the whole checkout.

See what is in effect

blowhorn config show
blowhorn config show --json

Change a default

blowhorn config set defaults.pace slow
blowhorn config set defaults.exclude ada,kate
blowhorn config set defaults.dry_run true

A flag beats an environment variable, which beats .blowhorn.yaml in the directory you run from, which beats the built-in. Every option and its environment variable is listed in the configuration reference.

To read one option and learn which document holds it:

blowhorn config get defaults.profile
blowhorn config get store.password        # set / not set, never the value

The store connection is configured the same way, but its store.* keys live in a private file, never in .blowhorn.yaml. During early access your Blowhorn administrator sets them up.

Choose where output is written

blowhorn post --profile ada --log-dir ./logs      # this run only
export BLOWHORN_LOG_DIR=./logs                    # this shell
blowhorn config set defaults.logs.directory ./logs

Choose how long the daily logs are kept

blowhorn config set defaults.logs.retention_days 7     # keep a week
blowhorn config set defaults.logs.retention_days 0     # keep every daily log
export BLOWHORN_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS=7                   # this shell

Every run deletes daily logs older than that (30 days if you set nothing), judged by the date in the file name. Nothing else in the directory is pruned.
