Creating a control-flow configuration file

Many extensions, such as Control flow module, are managed using a configuration file.

To create a controlflow.properties file:

  1. Use Resource Browser to select the root / folder in the resource tree.

    This can be tricky as the label is not very long.

      # don't allow the execution of more than 100 requests total in parallel
      ows.global=100

      user=6
      
      # don't allow the execution of more than 16 tile requests in parallel
      # (assuming a server with 4 cores, GWC empirical tests show that throughput
      # peaks up at 4 x number of cores. Adjust as appropriate to your system)
