Configuration Levels

Configurations: Structured & Adaptive

Systemiq configurations follow a hierarchical structure, where more specific settings override broader ones. This ensures flexibility while avoiding redundant configurations.

  • Client-Level (Global): Default settings that apply across the entire organization.
  • Stack-Level (System, Tool or Element): More focused overrides, allowing different configurations for distinct business areas (e.g., different QA thresholds per product line).
  • Agent-Specific: The most granular level, fine-tuning how each agent processes data or triggers actions.

Hierarchical Overwriting

Configurations cascade down from global → stack: (system, tool or element) → agent, with each level inheriting from the one above unless explicitly overridden. This approach minimizes redundancy while allowing targeted adjustments when necessary.
