Overview
The general configuration category captures simple configuration items that do not justify a category of their own.
base url
The base url used to access pulse™. This value is used to form links to the host in notifications (for example, the link to the build result in a build notification email). Your pulse™ server will try to guess an appropriate value when it is set up, however it may be necessary to configure this setting manually so that the generated links work from all computers in your network.
Note that you should specify a valid url, including the protocol (eg: http://)
Examples
For a server running on a host named "ronnie" in your internal network:
A public host running on custom port "1234" at "build.example.com":
If your server is running behind an apache proxy that proxies requests to pulse™ from http: //www.company.com/build
help base url
This value is the base of all URLs generated to point to online documentation. By default, it will point to the online copy at the Zutubi website. If you are unable to access this URL conveniently, you may wish to download a copy of the documentation to a local host and point this URL to that local copy.
Examples
The default location:
Pointing to a local copy on a host named "ronnie", unpacked into a directory named "pulse" under the web server's root directory:
rss enabled
This value indicates whether or not RSS feeds are enabled within pulse™. By default, feeds are enabled. There is currently no user authentication for the RSS feeds, so if you want to prevent anonymous users subscribing to feeds, you will need to turn them off.
allow anonymous access
If this box is checked, anonymous users will be able to view the projects and server information for your pulse™ server. By default, access is disabled. In this case user's that have not been authenticated are always redirected to the login page. When anonymous access is enabled, a user that has not logged in will be taken directly to the full list of projects, where they can browse project details and build results. To log in, users can click the "login" link in the top right-hand corner of the page.
allow anonymous signup
If checked, users will be able to register for pulse™ accounts themselves. Users signed up in this way will have read-only access to projects, and will have their own dashboard and notification preferences. Any additional privileges must be granted by an administrator.
SCM polling interval
The default polling interval for detecting SCM changes, in minutes. Defines how regularly SCMs will be checked for new changelists. This value my be overriden for specific projects where required.
enable recipe request timeout
If checked, requests in the recipe queue may time out if no agent capable of executing the recipe is online for a defined period.
recipe requests timeout
Defines the time period in minutes that must elapse with no capable agent online before a recipe request is timed out.
