Configuration in SmartFace Platform

Values can be defined in SmartFace.{servicename}.appsettings.json file next to binary.


For example - the appsettings configuration for service VideoDataAggregator looks like this:

"Aggregation": {
    "AggregationSimilarityThreshold": 45,
    "TrackletAggregationPeriodMs": 3000,
    "MatchRequestParallelism" : 3,
    "Export": "Standard"
}


Or via command line parameters:

Aggregation:AggregationSimilarityThreshold=45 Aggregation:TrackletAggregationPeriodMs=3000 Aggregation:MatchRequestParallelism=3 Aggregation:Export=Standard


Or by setting environment variables:

Aggregation__AggregationSimilarityThreshold
Aggregation__TrackletAggregationPeriodMs
Aggregation__MatchRequestParallelism
Aggregation__Export


Priority of configuration is as follows: Console Args → Env variables → AppSettings.


Definitions in the SmartFace.{servicename}.appsettings.json file are generated during installation process. Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost after reinstallation. Ctreate and use SmartFace.appsettings.user.json or environment variables instead
