`readahead 8192`

#### cache\_coroutine *integer*

Guard page is used to track stack overflows. Stack by default is set to 16KB.

`coroutine_stack_size 4`

Comment 'client_max' to disable the limit. On client limit reach, Odyssey will
reply with 'too many connections'.

### Listen

Listen section defines listening servers used for accepting
incoming client connections.

It is possible to define several Listen sections. Odyssey will listen on
every specified address.

Odyssey will fail in case it could not bind on any resolved address.

`unix_socket_dir` is set.

`host "*"`

"verify_full" - require valid client ceritifcate
```

#### example

```
listen
{
	host "*"
	port 6432
	backlog 128
#	tls "disable"
#	tls_cert_file ""
#	tls_key_file ""
#	tls_ca_file ""
#	tls_protocols ""
}
```

### Routing rules

Odyssey allows to define client routing rules by specifying
`database`, `user` and `storage` sections.

On client accept appropriate route is assigned by matching `database` and
`user` sections, all requests then forwarded to a `storage`
(which is referenced from the `user` section).

### Storage

Defines server used as a data storage or admin console operations.

`storage <name> { options }`

#### type *string*

Set storage type to use. Supported types:

```
"remote" - PostgreSQL server
"local"  - Odyssey (admin console)
```

`type "remote"`

#### Local console
Local console supports RELOAD, SHOW and KILL_CLIENT commands.

#### host *string*

Remote server address.

If host is not set, Odyssey will try to connect using UNIX socket if
`unix_socket_dir` is set.

#### port *integer*

Remote server port.

#### bindwith_reuseport *yes|no*

If specified, odyssey will bind socket with SO_REUSEPORT option.

##### graceful_die_on_errors *yes|no*

If specified, after receiving the singal SIGUSR2, 
Odyssey will shutdown the socket for receptions and continue working only with old connections

#### tls *string*

Supported TLS modes:

```
"disable"     - disable TLS protocol
"allow"       - switch to TLS protocol on request
"require"     - TLS required
"verify_ca"   - require valid certificate
"verify_full" - require valid ceritifcate
```

#### example

```
storage "postgres_server" {
	type "remote"
	host "127.0.0.1"
	port 5432
#	tls "disable"
#	tls_ca_file ""
#	tls_key_file ""
#	tls_cert_file ""
#	tls_protocols ""
}
```

### Database and User

`database <name> | default { users }`

Defines database name requested by client. Each `database` section structure
consist of a `user` subsections.

A special `database default` is used, in case when no database is matched.

`user <name> | default { options }`

Defines authentication, pooling and storage settings for
requested route.

A special `user default` is used, in case when no user is matched.

#### authentication *string*

Set route authentication method. Supported:

```
"none"       	- authentication turned off
"block"      	- block this user
"clear_text" 	- PostgreSQL clear text authentication
"md5"        	- PostgreSQL md5 authentication
"scram-sha-256" - PostgreSQL scram-sha-256 authentication
"cert"       	- Compare client certificate Common Name against auth_common_name's
```

`authentication "none"`

#### password *string*

Set route authentication password. Depending on selected method, password can be
in plain text, md5 hash or SCRAM secret.

To generate SCRAM secret you can use [this](https://github.com/DenisMedeirosBBD/PostgresSCRAM256PasswordGenerator) tool.

`password "test"`

#### auth\_common\_name default|*string*

Specify common names to check for "cert" authentication method.
If there are more then one common name is defined, all of them
will be checked until match.

Set 'default' to check for current user.

```
auth_common_name default
auth_common_name "test"
```

#### auth\_query *string*

Enable remote route authentication. Use some other route to authenticate clients
following this logic:

Use selected 'auth\_query_db' and 'auth\_query\_user' to match a route.
Use matched route server to send 'auth\_query' to get username and password needed
to authenticate a client.

```
auth_query "select username, pass from auth where username='%u'"
auth_query_db ""
auth_query_user ""
```

Disabled by default.


#### auth\_pam\_service

Enables PAM(Pluggable Authentication Modules) as the authentication mechanism.
It is incompatible to use it with auth query method. Password must be passed in plain text form, as
standard postgreSQL requires to.

```
auth_pam_service "name desired pam service"
```

#### client\_max *integer*

Set client connections limit for this route.

Comment 'client\_max' to disable the limit. On client limit reach, Odyssey will
reply with 'too many connections'.

`client_max 100`

#### storage *string*

Set remote server to use.

By default route database and user names are used as connection
parameters to remote server. It is possible to override this values
by specifying 'storage_db' and 'storage_user'. Remote server password
can be set using 'storage_password' field.

```
storage "postgres_server"
#storage_db "database"
#storage_user "test"
#storage_password "test"
```

#### pool *string*

Set route server pool mode.

Supported modes:

```
"session"     - assign server connection to a client until it disconnects
"transaction" - assign server connection to a client for a transaction processing
```

`pool "transaction"`

#### pool\_size *integer*

Server pool size.

Keep the number of servers in the pool as much as 'pool\_size'.
Clients are put in a wait queue, when all servers are busy.

Set to zero to disable the limit.

`pool_size 100`

#### pool\_timeout *integer*

Server pool wait timeout.

Time to wait in milliseconds for an available server.
Disconnect client on timeout reach.

Set to zero to disable.

`pool_timeout 4000`

#### pool\_ttl *integer*

Server pool idle timeout.

Close an server connection when it becomes idle for 'pool\_ttl' seconds.

Set to zero to disable.

`pool\_ttl 60`

#### pool\_discard *yes|no*

Server pool parameters discard.

Execute `DISCARD ALL` and reset client parameters before using server
from the pool.

`pool_discard no`

#### pool\_cancel *yes|no*

Server pool auto-cancel.

Start additional Cancel connection in case if server left with
executing query. Close connection otherwise.

`pool_cancel no`

#### pool\_rollback *yes|no*

Execute 'ROLLBACK' if server left in active transaction.
Close connection otherwise.

`pool_rollback yes`

#### client\_fwd\_error *yes|no*
