Chapter 10. Using Collector runtime configuration

You can use the Collector runtime configuration to modify some collector behaviors without restarting Collector. Set the Collector runtime configuration by using a ConfigMap object called collector-config. When you create or update the ConfigMap object, Collector refreshes the runtime configuration. When you delete the ConfigMap object, the settings revert to the default runtime configuration values.

You can control the following settings using the Collector runtime configuration:

The following example enables the visualizing external entities for outgoing connections only and sets maxConnectionsPerMinute to 2048.

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: collector-config
  namespace: stackrox
data:
  runtime_config.yaml: |
    networking:
      externalIps:
        enabled: ENABLED
        direction: EGRESS
      maxConnectionsPerMinute: 2048
