Configuration​

A default configuration is automatically generated if it does not exist. It is located at ~/.preq/config.yaml

cat ~/.preq/config.yaml
config.yaml
timestamps:
  - format: epochany
    pattern: |
      "time":(\d{16,19})
  - format: rfc3339
    pattern:
      (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(?:\.\d+)?(?:Z|[+\-]\d{2}:\d{2}))

Custom Timestamp Formats​

See custom timestamp formats. for more information.

Rules​

By default, preq will run up-to-date community CREs against input data sources. You can also provide preq with additional custom rules in development.

In the configuration, you can add one or more rule file.

~/.preq/config.yaml
rules:
  paths:
    - /path/to/custom/rules1.yaml
    - /path/to/more/custom/rules2.yaml

These rules will run in addition to community CREs. You can disable community rules on the command line with -d or in configuration.

~/.preq/config.yaml
rules:
  disable_community_rules: true

Data Sources​

You can specify one or more input data sources to detect CREs.

~/.preq/config.yaml
data_sources: /path/to/sources.yaml
rules:
  paths:
    - /path/to/custom/rules1.yaml
    - /path/to/more/custom/rules2.yaml

Updates​

You can automatically accept updates in configuration.

~/.preq/config.yaml
accept_updates: true
