Configuration

Configuration options can be changed in /etc/sysflow. The Processor configuration is located in /etc/sysflow/pipelines/pipeline.local.json and can be used to change the processor configuration from its default settings. The Collector and systemd service configurations are located in /etc/sysflow/conf/sysflow.env.
