# Authentication.
#
#  - none: do not perform auth checks. If you can connect to the
#          socket you are allowed. This is suitable if there are
#          restrictions on connecting to the socket (eg, UNIX
#          socket permissions), or if there is a lower layer in
#          the network providing auth (eg, TLS/x509 certificates)
#
#  - sasl: use SASL infrastructure. The actual auth scheme is then
#          controlled from /etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf. For the TCP
#          socket only GSSAPI & DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms will be used.
#          For non-TCP or TLS sockets,  any scheme is allowed.
#
#  - polkit: use PolicyKit to authenticate. This is only suitable
#            for use on the UNIX sockets. The default policy will
#            require a user to supply their own password to gain
#            full read/write access (aka sudo like), while anyone
#            is allowed read/only access.
#
# Set an authentication scheme for UNIX read-only sockets
# By default socket permissions allow anyone to connect
#
# To restrict monitoring of domains you may wish to enable
# an authentication mechanism here
#auth_unix_ro = "none"

# Set an authentication scheme for UNIX read-write sockets
# By default socket permissions only allow root. If PolicyKit
# support was compiled into libvirt, the default will be to
# use 'polkit' auth.
#
# If the unix_sock_rw_perms are changed you may wish to enable
# an authentication mechanism here
#auth_unix_rw = "none"

# Change the authentication scheme for TCP sockets.
#
# If you don't enable SASL, then all TCP traffic is cleartext.
# Don't do this outside of a dev/test scenario. For real world
# use, always enable SASL and use the GSSAPI or DIGEST-MD5
# mechanism in /etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf
#auth_tcp = "sasl"

# Change the authentication scheme for TLS sockets.
#
# TLS sockets already have encryption provided by the TLS
# layer, and limited authentication is done by certificates
#
# It is possible to make use of any SASL authentication
# mechanism as well, by using 'sasl' for this option

# The minimum limit sets the number of workers to start up

#min_workers = 5
#max_workers = 20

# Total global limit on concurrent RPC calls. Should be
# at least as large as max_workers. Beyond this, RPC requests
# will be read into memory and queued. This directly impact
# memory usage, currently each request requires 256 KB of
# memory. So by default upto 5 MB of memory is used
#
# XXX this isn't actually enforced yet, only the per-client
# limit is used so far
#max_requests = 20

# Limit on concurrent requests from a single client

# Logging controls
#

# Logging level: 4 errors, 3 warnings, 2 informations, 1 debug
# basically 1 will log everything possible
#log_level = 3

# Logging filters:
# A filter allows to select a different logging level for a given category
# of logs
# The format for a filter is:
#    x:name
#      where name is a match string e.g. remote or qemu
# the x prefix is the minimal level where matching messages should be logged
#    1: DEBUG
#    2: INFO
#    3: WARNING
#    4: ERROR
#
# Multiple filter can be defined in a single @filters, they just need to be
# separated by spaces.
#
# e.g:
# log_filters="3:remote 4:event"
# to only get warning or errors from the remote layer and only errors from
# the event layer.

# Logging outputs:
# An output is one of the places to save logging informations
# The format for an output can be:
#    x:stderr
#      output goes to stderr
#    x:syslog:name
#      use syslog for the output and use the given name as the ident
#    x:file:file_path
#      output to a file, with the given filepath
# In all case the x prefix is the minimal level, acting as a filter
#    1: DEBUG
#    2: INFO
#    3: WARNING
#    4: ERROR
#
# Multiple output can be defined, they just need to be separated by spaces.
# e.g.:
# log_outputs="3:syslog:libvirtd"
# to log all warnings and errors to syslog under the libvirtd ident
