Configuration

GPT-Load adopts a powerful and flexible three-tier configuration system to meet configuration needs in different scenarios

Three-Tier Configuration System Architecture

Configuration Priority

Group Configuration
Highest Priority
System Settings
Medium Priority
Environment Variables
Base Priority

The configuration system uses SystemSettingsManagerto manage configuration loading, merging, and hot updates

Configuration Features

  • • Three-Tier Architecture: Environment, system, group
  • • Priority Override: Upper layer overrides lower layer
  • • Hot Update Support: Runtime dynamic effect
  • • Configuration Validation: Strict data validation

Use Cases

  • • Environment Configuration: Basic service parameters
  • • System Configuration: Global business settings
  • • Group Configuration: Specific group customization
  • • Dynamic Tuning: Real-time performance optimization

Management Methods

  • • Environment Variables: .env files or system environment
  • • Web Management: Online configuration interface
  • • API Interface: Programmatic configuration management
  • • Configuration Files: JSON format import/export

Best Practices

Configuration Management Recommendations

  • • Unified Management: Recommend using the platform's Web interface for centralized management to ensure consistency.
  • • Regular Audits: Regularly review configurations, remove unused parameters to keep the system clean.
  • • Version Control: For important configuration changes, recommend recording in version control system for tracking and rollback.

Precautions

  • • Sensitive Information: Never store passwords, API keys and other sensitive information in project configuration, use environment variables instead.
  • • Careful Hot Updates: Hot update feature is powerful but should be used carefully to avoid unexpected behavior in production environment.
  • • Performance Impact: Frequent configuration changes may have slight impact on system performance, recommend operating during off-peak hours.
