Receptor variables

receptor_disable_signing

Controls whether signing of communications between receptor nodes is enabled or disabled. Set this variable to true to disable communication signing.

Optional

false

receptor_disable_tls

Controls whether TLS is enabled or disabled for Receptor. Set this variable to true to disable TLS.

Optional

false

receptor_firewall_zone

The firewall zone where receptor related firewall rules are applied. This controls which networks can access Receptor based on the zone's trust level.

Optional

public

receptor_log_level

Controls the verbosity of logging for Receptor. Valid options include: error, warning, info, or debug.

Optional

info

receptor_mintls13

Controls whether or not Receptor only accepts connections that use TLS 1.3 or higher. Set to true to only accept connections that use TLS 1.3 or higher.

Optional

false

receptor_peers

Used to indicate which nodes a specific host connects to. Wherever this variable is defined, an outbound connection to the specific host is established. The value must be a comma-separated list of hostnames. Do not use inventory group names. This is resolved into a set of hosts that is used to construct the receptor.conf file.

Optional

[]

receptor_port

Port number that Receptor listens on for incoming connections from other receptor nodes.

Optional

27199

receptor_protocol

Protocol that Receptor will support when handling traffic.

Optional

tcp

receptor_signing_private_key

Path to the private key used by Receptor to sign communications with other receptor nodes in the network.

Optional

receptor_signing_public_key

Path to the public key used by Receptor to sign communications with other receptor nodes in the network.

Optional

receptor_signing_remote

Denote whether the receptor signing files are local to the installation program (false) or on the remote component server (true).

Optional

false

receptor_tls_cert

Path to the TLS certificate file for Receptor.

Optional

receptor_tls_key

Path to the TLS key file for Receptor.

Optional

receptor_tls_remote

Denote whether the receptor provided certificate files are local to the installation program (false) or on the remote component server (true).

Optional

false

receptor_type

For the [automationcontroller] group the two options are:

• receptor_type=control - The node only runs project and inventory updates, but not regular jobs.
• receptor_type=hybrid - The node runs everything.

For the [execution_nodes] group the two options are:

• receptor_type=hop - The node forwards jobs to an execution node.
• receptor_type=execution - The node can run jobs.

Optional

For the [automationcontroller] group: hybrid. For the [execution_nodes] group: execution.

receptor_use_archive_compression

Controls whether archive compression is enabled or disabled for Receptor. You can control this functionality globally by using use_archive_compression.

Optional

true
