# Using configuration files

- AEN configuration keys
- Checking configuration file syntax

The default locations for each component’s configuration files are:

- Server—`/opt/wakari/wakari-server/etc/wakari/config.json`.
- Gateway—`/opt/wakari/wakari-gateway/etc/wakari/config.json`.
- Compute—`/opt/wakari/wakari-compute/etc/wakari/config.json`.

Additionally, service-specific configuration files may also be present in the following locations:

- Server—`/opt/wakari/wakari-server/etc/wakari/wk-server-config.json`.
- Gateway—`/opt/wakari/wakari-gateway/etc/wakari/wk-gateway-config.json`.
- Compute—`/opt/wakari/wakari-compute/etc/wakari/wk-compute-config.json`.

Each service loads each of the configuration files in the following order and updates the AEN configuration at each step:

1. `/etc/wakari/config.json`.
2. `/etc/wakari/wk-gateway-config.json`.
3. `/opt/wakari/wakari-SERVICE/etc/wakari/config.json`.
4. `/opt/wakari/wakari-SERVICE/etc/wakari/wk-SERVICE-config.json`.
5. `./config.json`.
6. `./wk-gateway-config.json`.

## AEN configuration keys

The following is a list of AEN supported configuration keys:

## Checking configuration file syntax

To verify that the configuration file contains valid JSON, run:

    root@server  # python -m json.tool /opt/wakari/wakari-server/etc/wakari/*.json
    root@gateway # python -m json.tool /opt/wakari/wakari-gateway/etc/wakari/*.json
    root@compute # python -m json.tool /opt/wakari/wakari-compute/etc/wakari/*.json

If the file is correct, the contents are displayed.

If there is a syntax error in the file, a “No JSON object could be decoded” message is displayed instead.

To fix any errors, edit the configuration file and verify that it contains the correct JSON syntax.
