NAME

Configd::Language::redis - redis.conf, which has no conf.d and a handful of directives you say more than once.

VERSION

version 0.002

SYNOPSIS

use Configd();

Configd->adopt('redis');
Configd->build('redis');

DESCRIPTION

Redis has an include directive, which is not the same thing as a conf.d: the included file has to be named from the file doing the including, so adding one still means editing redis.conf. Include order also decides precedence in a way that surprises people -- a directive in the main file after an include wins over the included one.

So redis.conf becomes generated, and a fragment is a file rather than a file plus an edit.

NAME

Configd::Language::redis - redis.conf, which has no conf.d and a handful of directives you say more than once.

REPEATED DIRECTIVES

Most of redis.conf is one value per directive: a second maxmemory replaces the first. A few are not, and mean every occurrence:

  • save -- one line per snapshot point, save 900 1 and save 300 10 being two conditions rather than one overriding the other.

  • client-output-buffer-limit -- one line per client class.

  • rename-command, module, include, bind when written as several lines.

Those are matched on everything they say, so two fragments both asking for save 900 1 get one line and two asking for different snapshot points get both. That is what lets a fragment be written without checking whether somebody else already asked for the same thing.

METHODS

files()

/etc/redis/redis.conf, 0640 root:redis if it has to be created.

units()

redis-server.service.

repeats($key)

True for the directives listed above, each occurrence of which means something of its own.
