# Pulse Sensor Proxy Configuration
# This file is optional. If not provided, the proxy will use sensible defaults.
# This file is optional. Defaults are safe for most installs; use it when you
# need to override CIDR allow lists, HTTP settings, or rate limits.
# Network Configuration
# Specify which networks are allowed to connect to the proxy
# If not specified, the proxy will auto-detect host IP addresses
# Network configuration
# The installer auto-detects host CIDRs if this is empty.

# Rate Limiting (Optional)
# Control how frequently peers can make requests to prevent abuse
# Adjust these values based on your deployment size:
# - Small (1-3 nodes): Use defaults (1000ms, burst 5)
# - Medium (4-10 nodes): 500ms, burst 10
# - Large (10-20 nodes): 250ms, burst 20
# - Very Large (30+ nodes): 100ms, burst 30-50
#
# Formula: To poll all nodes in one cycle, set burst >= node_count
# For optimal performance: per_peer_interval_ms = (polling_interval_ms / node_count)
# Example: 10 second polling with 30 nodes = 10000ms / 30 ≈ 300ms interval
# Rate limiting (per calling UID)
rate_limit:
per_peer_interval_ms: 1000 # Minimum milliseconds between requests per peer (1000ms = 1 qps = 60 requests/min)
per_peer_burst: 5 # Number of requests allowed in a burst (supports up to 5 simultaneous requests)
per_peer_interval_ms: 1000 # 1 request per second
per_peer_burst: 5 # Allow burst of 5
# Default values if not specified:
# per_peer_interval_ms: 1000 (1 second = 1 qps = 60 requests/min)
# per_peer_burst: 5
#
# Security note: Lower intervals increase throughput but also increase exposure
# to potential abuse. For production, keep interval >= 100ms unless necessary.
