Configure Scout

Configure the Scout server using the YAML files located in the .config directory.

Scout looks for the .config directory in two places, in the following order:

1. The same directory as the Scout executable

2. $GOPATH/src/jonoton/scout directory

Examples

The full available options for Scout configuration can be found in the example/config/full directory.

The minimum options for Scout configuration can be found in the example/config/min directory.
