Configuring appSettings

The Orchestrator configuration consists of an array of Kubernetes config maps and secrets that are loaded in a specific order, and placed in the appSettings section of config maps.

The latest configuration is loaded from the orchestrator-customconfig config map. Any newly loaded configuration overwrites all existing settings that have the same key.

To display the current custom Orchestrator configuration, use the config orchestrator get-config uipathctl command:

uipathctl config orchestrator get-config --app-settings
{
  "key":"value"
}
uipathctl config orchestrator get-config --app-settings
{
  "key":"value"
}

The uipathctl commands needed for configuring appSettings are:

uipathctl config orchestrator get-config --app-settings - Exports the current configuration in a key-value pair json file, ready for editing. For details, refer to the uipathctl config orchestrator get-config section.
uipathctl config orchestrator update-config --app-settings appsettings.json - Updates the configuration with your changes. For details, refer to the uipathctl config orchestrator update-config section.

Export the current custom appSettings configuration to a json file using this command:

uipathctl config orchestrator get-config --app-settings > appsettings.json
uipathctl config orchestrator get-config --app-settings > appsettings.json

Edit the exported appsettings.json file as needed. You can add, remove, or change any of its settings, as shown in the following example:
```
{
    "Triggers.DisableWhenFailedCount": "20",
    "Triggers.JobsCountStrategy": "NoLimit"
}
{
    "Triggers.DisableWhenFailedCount": "20",
    "Triggers.JobsCountStrategy": "NoLimit"
}
```
Note:
You must export the file again every time you need to make a change, since the update overwrites all settings.

Update the appSettings configuration using this command:

uipathctl config orchestrator update-config --app-settings appsettings.json
orchestrator config updated
uipathctl config orchestrator update-config --app-settings appsettings.json
orchestrator config updated
