About the System Configuration File Commands

The command-line configuration editor will not provide an interactive editing experience. For interactive editing, the FMOS Control Panel UI should be used.

All customizable options are configured in /etc/firemon/config.yml. This file contains a mapping of settings in YAML syntax, the native variable definition language used by Ansible. For a basic overview of this language, see the YAML Syntax section of the Ansible documentation which is available online at https://docs.ansible.com.

To view a list of available commands, at the command prompt type: fmos -help.

For a list of customizable operating system options, see Configuration Variables.

Caution! The /etc/firemon/config.yml can contain sensitive information such as passwords. When editing this file, ensure that the permissions stay secure. It should be owned by root:root with a mode of 0600 or 0400.
