Environment Variables

Sourcing environment variables from an env file

By default, PyNinja will look for a .env file in the current working directory.

Basic API

• APIKEY - API Key for authentication.
• SWAGGER_UI_PARAMETERS - Dictionary of parameters to be included in the Swagger UI.
• NINJA_HOST - Hostname for the API server.
• NINJA_PORT - Port number for the API server.

Functional improvements

• RATE_LIMIT - List of dictionaries with max_requests and seconds to apply as rate limit.
• LOG_CONFIG - Logging configuration file path.

Remote execution and FileIO

• REMOTE_EXECUTION - Boolean flag to enable remote execution.
• API_SECRET - Secret access key for running commands on server remotely.
• DATABASE - FilePath to store the auth database that handles the authentication errors.

⚠️ Enabling remote execution can be extremely risky and poses a major security threat. So use caution and set the API_SECRET to a strong value.

Monitoring UI

• MONITOR_USERNAME - Username to authenticate the monitoring page.
• MONITOR_PASSWORD - Password to authenticate the monitoring page.
• MONITOR_SESSION - Session timeout for the monitoring page.
• DISK_REPORT - Boolean flag to enable disk report feature using PyUdisk.
• MAX_CONNECTIONS - Maximum number of monitoring sessions allowed in parallel.
• NO_AUTH - Boolean flag to disable authentication for monitoring page.
• PROCESSES - List of process names to include in the monitor page.
• SERVICES - List of service names to include in the monitor page.
• SERVICE_LIB - Library path to retrieve service info.
• SMART_LIB - Library path for S.M.A.R.T metrics using PyUdisk.
• GPU_LIB - Library path to retrieve GPU names using PyArchitecture.
• DISK_LIB - Library path to retrieve disk info using PyArchitecture.
• PROCESSOR_LIB - Library path to retrieve processor name using PyArchitecture.

Certain environment variables like SERVICES and PROCESSS are case-sensitive

Refer samples directory for examples.
