Runtime settings

The server accepts a few command line arguments to configure its runtime behavior. A fully configured command line looks like this:

jitar start --service=services/standalone.json --env-file=.env --log-level=info --http-body-limit=204800

Service file

The --service argument must be specified to point to the server configuration file. More information regarding the configuration file can be found in the runtime services section.

Environment file

The --env-file argument can be used to specify a file that contains environment variables. This is an optional argument without a default value.

Log level

To control the level of logging, the optional --log-level argument can be used. The default for this value is info. A more elaborate description of the log levels can be found in the logging section.

Body limit

To control the maximum json body size of incoming requests, the --http-body-limit argument can be used. This is an optional argument and the body size limit defaults to 200KB if no value is provided. The value can only be set in bytes using a numeric value, e.g. --http-body-limit=1048576 for 1MB.
