For streamlined multi-instance operation and interference-free communication, Iceoryx2 introduces global configuration settings. It enables the concurrent execution of multiple Iceoryx2 setups on the same machine or within a single process by employing distinct configurations.
The configuration is organized into two main sections:
global: Contains settings affecting the entire deployment.defaults: Specifies default settings for quality of services and behaviors.
Adjusting global settings ensures a non-interfering setup.
global.root_path_{unix|windows}- [string]: Defines the path for all Iceoryx2 files and directories.global.prefix- [string]: Prefix that is used for every file Iceoryx2 creates.global.service.directory- [string]: Specifies the path for service-related files underglobal.root_path.global.service.publisher_data_segment_suffix- [string]: Suffix added to the publisher's data segment.global.service.static_config_storage_suffix- [string]: Suffix for static service configuration files.global.service.dynamic_config_storage_suffix- [string]: Suffix for dynamic service configuration files.global.service.connection_suffix- [string]: Suffix for one-to-one connections.global.service.creation_timeout.secs&global.service.creation_timeout.nanos- [int]: Maximum time for service setup. Uncreated services after this are marked as stalled.
defaults.publish_subscribe.max_subscribers- [int]: Maximum number of subscribers.defaults.publish_subscribe.max_publishers- [int]: Maximum number of publishers.defaults.publish_subscribe.publisher_history_size- [int]: Maximum history size a subscriber can request.defaults.publish_subscribe.subscriber_buffer_size- [int]: Maximum buffer size of a subscriber.defaults.publish_subscribe.subscriber_max_borrowed_samples- [int]: Maximum samples a subscriber can hold.defaults.publish_subscribe.publisher_max_loaned_samples- [int]: Maximum samples a publisher can loan.defaults.publish_subscribe.enable_safe_overflow- [true|false]: Default overflow behavior.defaults.publish_subscribe.unable_to_deliver_strategy- [block|discard_sample]: Default strategy for non-overflowing setups when delivery fails.defaults.event.max_listeners- [int]: Maximum number of listeners.defaults.event.max_notifiers- [int]: Maximum number of notifiers.defaults.event.event_id_max_value- [int]: Greatest value an [EventId] can have.
