Configuration

This document explains the configurable properties of the node. Klaytn node package ships with good defaults and requires very little configuration. If you changed any settings of a running node, you must restart the node to reflect the changes.
CN Configuration File location
kcnd.conf for configuring the Consensus Node
The configuration file is located in the conf directory, whose default location depends on whether or not the installation is from an archive distribution (tar.gz) or a package distribution (RPM).
For the archive distribution, the config directory location defaults to $INSTALL_PATH/kcn-linux-amd64/conf/.
For the package distribution, the config directory defaults to /etc/kcnd/conf/.
PN Configuration File location
kpnd.conf for configuring the Proxy Node
The configuration file is located in the conf directory, whose default location depends on whether or not the installation is from an archive distribution (tar.gz) or a package distribution (RPM).
For the archive distribution, the config directory location defaults to $INSTALL_PATH/kpn-linux-amd64/conf/.
For the package distribution, the config directory defaults to /etc/kpnd/conf/.
EN Configuration File location
kend.conf for configuring the Endpoint Node
The configuration file is located in the conf directory, whose default location depends on whether or not the installation is from an archive distribution (tar.gz) or a package distribution (RPM).
For the archive distribution, the config directory location defaults to $INSTALL_PATH/ken-linux-amd64/conf/.
For the package distribution, the config directory defaults to /etc/kend/conf/.
Configuration File Format
CN and PN have the same configuration file format and the properties.
Below is a sample configuration file for the CN that participates in the cypress network and stores the blockchain data in the default location, which is ~/kcnd_home with the archive distribution, /var/kcnd/data with the package distribution.
# Configuration file for the kcnd

# cypress, baobab is only available if you don't specify NETWORK_ID.

The recommended txpool sizes for CN are as follows.
TXPOOL_EXEC_SLOTS_ALL=16384
TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ALL=16384
TXPOOL_EXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT=16384
TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT=16384
The recommended txpool sizes for PN are as follows.
TXPOOL_EXEC_SLOTS_ALL=8192
TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ALL=8192
TXPOOL_EXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT=8192
TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT=8192
The recommended txpool sizes for EN are as follows.
TXPOOL_EXEC_SLOTS_ALL=4096
TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ALL=4096
TXPOOL_EXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT=4096
TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT=4096
Properties
The configuration file has the following configurable properties. CN and PN configuration files have the same properties except REWARDBASE.
Name
Description
NETWORK
Network name that this node will join. This value is used when NETWORK_ID is not defined. ("cypress", "baobab")
NETWORK_ID
Klaytn network ID. If you create a local private network, you will define the network ID for your own. Following IDs are reserved for pre-configured networks.

MAXCONNECTIONS
Maximum number of physical connections. All single-channel peers can have up to MAXCONNECTIONS peers. All multi-channel peers can have up to MAXCONNECTIONS/2 peers. Network connection is disabled if it is set to 0. (Default: 10)
LDBCACHESIZE
Size of in-memory cache in LevelDB (MiB). (Default : 768)

TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ALL
Maximum number of non-executable transaction slots for all accounts. (Default: 1024)
TXPOOL_EXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT
Number of executable transaction slots guaranteed per account. (Default: 16)
TXPOOL_NONEXEC_SLOTS_ACCOUNT
Maximum number of non-executable transaction slots guaranteed per account. (Default: 64)
TXPOOL_LIFE_TIME
Maximum amount of time non-executable transactions is queued. (Default : 5m)
RPC_ENABLE
Enable the HTTP-RPC server if it is set to 1.
RPC_API
Comma-separated list of APIs offered over the HTTP-RPC interface. (admin, debug, klay, miner, net, personal, rpc, txpool, web3)
RPC_PORT
HTTP-RPC server listening port. (Default: "8551")
RPC_ADDR
HTTP-RPC server listening interface. (Default: "localhost")
RPC_CORSDOMAIN
Comma-separated list of domains from which to accept cross-origin requests (browser enforced)
RPC_VHOSTS
Comma-separated list of virtual hostnames from which to accept requests (server enforced). Accepts '*' wildcard. (Default: {"localhost"})
WS_ENABLE
Enable the WS-RPC server if it is set to 1.
WS_API
APIs offered over the WS-RPC interface. (admin, debug, klay, miner, net, personal, rpc, txpool, web3)
WS_ADDR
WS-RPC server listening interface.
WS_PORT
WS-RPC server listening port. (Default : "8552")
WS_ORIGINS
Origins from which to accept websockets requests. (Default: "localhost")
AUTO_RESTART
Restart the process when the current block has not been updated for autorestart.timeout (e.g., 60s, 10m and 1h) if it is set to 1.
