# Authentication.
#
#  - none: do not perform auth checks. If you can connect to the
#          socket you are allowed. This is suitable if there are
#          restrictions on connecting to the socket (eg, UNIX
#          socket permissions), or if there is a lower layer in
#          the network providing auth (eg, TLS/x509 certificates)
#
#  - sasl: use SASL infrastructure. The actual auth scheme is then
#          controlled from /etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf. For the TCP
#          socket only GSSAPI & DIGEST-MD5 mechanisms will be used.
#          For non-TCP or TLS sockets, any scheme is allowed.
#
#  - polkit: use PolicyKit to authenticate. This is only suitable
#            for use on the UNIX sockets. The default policy will
#            require a user to supply their own password to gain
#            full read/write access (aka sudo like), while anyone
#            is allowed read/only access.
#
# Set an authentication scheme for UNIX read-only sockets
# By default socket permissions allow anyone to connect
#
# To restrict monitoring of domains you may wish to enable
# an authentication mechanism here
#auth_unix_ro = "none"

# Set an authentication scheme for UNIX read-write sockets
# By default socket permissions only allow root. If PolicyKit
# support was compiled into libvirt, the default will be to
# use 'polkit' auth.
#
# If the unix_sock_rw_perms are changed you may wish to enable
# an authentication mechanism here
#auth_unix_rw = "none"

# Change the authentication scheme for TCP sockets.
#
# If you don't enable SASL, then all TCP traffic is cleartext.

# mechanism in /etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf
#auth_tcp = "sasl"

#
# It is possible to make use of any SASL authentication

#auth_tls = "none"


# Change the API access control scheme
#
# By default an authenticated user is allowed access

# TLS x509 certificate configuration
#

# Use of TLS requires that x509 certificates be issued. The default locations
# for the certificate files is as follows:
#
#   /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem                 - The CA master certificate
#   /etc/pki/libvirt/servercert.pem        - The server certificate signed with

#   /etc/pki/libvirt/private/serverkey.pem - The server private key
#
# It is possible to override the default locations by altering the 'key_file',
# 'cert_file', and 'ca_file' values and uncommenting them below.
#
# NB, overriding the default of one location requires uncommenting and
# possibly additionally overriding the other settings.

# Logging controls
#

# Logging level: 4 errors, 3 warnings, 2 information, 1 debug
# basically 1 will log everything possible
# Note: Journald may employ rate limiting of the messages logged
# and thus lock up the libvirt daemon. To use the debug level with
# journald you have to specify it explicitly in 'log_outputs', otherwise
# only information level messages will be logged.
#log_level = 3

# Logging filters:
# A filter allows to select a different logging level for a given category
# of logs
# The format for a filter is one of:
#    x:name
#    x:+name

#      where name is a string which is matched against the category
#      given in the VIR_LOG_INIT() at the top of each libvirt source
#      file, e.g., "remote", "qemu", or "util.json" (the name in the
#      filter can be a substring of the full category name, in order
#      to match multiple similar categories), the optional "+" prefix
#      tells libvirt to log stack trace for each message matching
#      name, and x is the minimal level where matching messages should
#      be logged:

#    1: DEBUG
#    2: INFO
#    3: WARNING
#    4: ERROR
#
# Multiple filters can be defined in a single @filters, they just need to be
# separated by spaces.
#
# e.g. to only get warning or errors from the remote layer and only errors
# from the event layer:
#log_filters="3:remote 4:event"

# Logging outputs:
# An output is one of the places to save logging information
# The format for an output can be:
#    x:stderr
#      output goes to stderr
#    x:syslog:name
#      use syslog for the output and use the given name as the ident
#    x:file:file_path
#      output to a file, with the given filepath
#    x:journald
#      output to journald logging system
# In all case the x prefix is the minimal level, acting as a filter
#    1: DEBUG
#    2: INFO
#    3: WARNING
#    4: ERROR
#
# Multiple outputs can be defined, they just need to be separated by spaces.
# e.g. to log all warnings and errors to syslog under the libvirtd ident:
#log_outputs="3:syslog:libvirtd"

#
# - 'smbios': fetch the UUID from 'dmidecode -s system-uuid'
# - 'machine-id': fetch the UUID from /etc/machine-id
#
# The host_uuid_source default is 'smbios'. If 'dmidecode' does not provide
# a valid UUID a temporary UUID will be generated.
#
# Another option is to specify host UUID in host_uuid.

# Keep the format of the example UUID below. UUID must not have all digits

# Keepalive protocol:
# This allows libvirtd to detect broken client connections or even
# dead clients.  A keepalive message is sent to a client after
# keepalive_interval seconds of inactivity to check if the client is
# still responding; keepalive_count is a maximum number of keepalive
# messages that are allowed to be sent to the client without getting
# any response before the connection is considered broken.  In other
# words, the connection is automatically closed approximately after
# keepalive_interval * (keepalive_count + 1) seconds since the last
# message received from the client.  If keepalive_interval is set to
# -1, libvirtd will never send keepalive requests; however clients
# can still send them and the daemon will send responses.  When
# keepalive_count is set to 0, connections will be automatically
# closed after keepalive_interval seconds of inactivity without
# sending any keepalive messages.
