## Sidecar configuration
### Setup sidecar configuration
#### Self-hosted sidecar
In self hosted mode the Dapr configuration is a configuration file, for example `config.yaml`. By default the Dapr sidecar looks in the default Dapr folder for the runtime configuration eg: `$HOME/.dapr/config.yaml` in Linux/MacOS and `%USERPROFILE%\.dapr\config.yaml` in Windows.
A Dapr sidecar can also apply a configuration by using a ```--config``` flag to the file path with ```dapr run``` CLI command.
#### Kubernetes sidecar
In Kubernetes mode the Dapr configuration is a Configuration CRD, that is applied to the cluster. For example;
```bash
kubectl apply -f myappconfig.yaml
```
You can use the Dapr CLI to list the Configuration CRDs
```bash
dapr configurations -k
```
A Dapr sidecar can apply a specific configuration by using a ```dapr.io/config``` annotation. For example:
```yml
annotations:
dapr.io/enabled: "true"
dapr.io/app-id: "nodeapp"
dapr.io/app-port: "3000"
dapr.io/config: "myappconfig"
```
Note: There are more [Kubernetes annotations]({{< ref "arguments-annotations-overview.md" >}}) available to configure the Dapr sidecar on activation by sidecar Injector system service.
### Sidecar configuration settings
The following configuration settings can be applied to Dapr application sidecars;
- [Tracing](#tracing)
- [Metrics](#metrics)
- [Middleware](#middleware)
- [Scoping secrets for secret stores](#scoping-secrets-for-secret-stores)
- [Access control allow lists for service invocation](#access-control-allow-lists-for-service-invocation)
- [Example application sidecar configuration](#example-application-sidecar-configuration)
#### Tracing
Tracing configuration turns on tracing for an application.
The `tracing` section under the `Configuration` spec contains the following properties:
```yml
tracing:
samplingRate: "1"
zipkin:
endpointAddress: "http://zipkin.default.svc.cluster.local:9411/api/v2/spans"
```
The following table lists the properties for tracing:
| Property | Type | Description |
|--------------|--------|-------------|
| `samplingRate` | string | Set sampling rate for tracing to be enabled or disabled.
| `zipkin.endpointAddress` | string | Set the Zipkin server address.
`samplingRate` is used to enable or disable the tracing. To disable the sampling rate ,
set `samplingRate : "0"` in the configuration. The valid range of samplingRate is between 0 and 1 inclusive. The sampling rate determines whether a trace span should be sampled or not based on value. `samplingRate : "1"` samples all traces. By default, the sampling rate is (0.0001) or 1 in 10,000 traces.
See [Observability distributed tracing]({{< ref "tracing-overview.md" >}}) for more information
#### Metrics
The metrics section can be used to enable or disable metrics for an application.
The `metrics` section under the `Configuration` spec contains the following properties:
```yml
metrics:
enabled: true
```
The following table lists the properties for metrics:
| Property | Type | Description |
|--------------|--------|-------------|
| `enabled` | boolean | Whether metrics should to be enabled.
See [metrics documentation]({{< ref "metrics-overview.md" >}}) for more information
#### Middleware
Middleware configuration set named Http pipeline middleware handlers
The `httpPipeline` section under the `Configuration` spec contains the following properties:
```yml
httpPipeline:
handlers:
- name: oauth2
type: middleware.http.oauth2
- name: uppercase
type: middleware.http.uppercase
```
The following table lists the properties for HTTP handlers:
| Property | Type | Description |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| name | string | Name of the middleware component
| type | string | Type of middleware component
See [Middleware pipelines]({{< ref "middleware.md" >}}) for more information
#### Scope secret store access
See the [Scoping secrets]({{< ref "secret-scope.md" >}}) guide for information and examples on how to scope secrets to an application.
#### Access Control allow lists for building block APIs
See the [selectively enable Dapr APIs on the Dapr sidecar]({{< ref "api-allowlist.md" >}}) guide for information and examples on how to set ACLs on the building block APIs lists.
#### Access Control allow lists for service invocation API
See the [Allow lists for service invocation]({{< ref "invoke-allowlist.md" >}}) guide for information and examples on how to set allow lists with ACLs which using service invocation API.
#### Turning on preview features
See the [preview features]({{< ref "preview-features.md" >}}) guide for information and examples on how to opt-in to preview features for a release. Preview feature enable new capabilities to be added that still need more time until they become generally available (GA) in the runtime.
### Example sidecar configuration
The following yaml shows an example configuration file that can be applied to an applications' Dapr sidecar.
```yml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Configuration
metadata:
name: myappconfig
namespace: default
spec:
tracing:
samplingRate: "1"
httpPipeline:
handlers:
- name: oauth2
type: middleware.http.oauth2
secrets:
scopes:
- storeName: localstore
defaultAccess: allow
deniedSecrets: ["redis-password"]
accessControl:
defaultAction: deny
trustDomain: "public"
policies:
- appId: app1
defaultAction: deny
trustDomain: 'public'
namespace: "default"
operations:
- name: /op1
httpVerb: ['POST', 'GET']
action: deny
- name: /op2/*
httpVerb: ["*"]
action: allow
```
## Control-plane configuration
There is a single configuration file called `default` installed with the Dapr control plane system services that applies global settings. This is only set up when Dapr is deployed to Kubernetes.
### Control-plane configuration settings
A Dapr control plane configuration can configure the following settings:
| Property | Type | Description |
|------------------|--------|-------------|
| enabled | bool | Set mtls to be enabled or disabled
| allowedClockSkew | string | The extra time to give for certificate expiry based on possible clock skew on a machine. Default is 15 minutes.
| workloadCertTTL | string | Time a certificate is valid for. Default is 24 hours
See the [Mutual TLS]({{< ref "mtls.md" >}}) HowTo and [security concepts]({{< ref "security-concept.md" >}}) for more information.
### Example control plane configuration
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Configuration
metadata:
name: default
namespace: default
spec:
mtls:
enabled: true
allowedClockSkew: 15m
workloadCertTTL: 24h
```
