Query and set / update Zammad settings

Note

Please note that this is not a full command list, if you’re missing commands, feel free to ask over at the Community.

ticket_hook setting

This will give you the ticket hook that you’ll find inside the [] in front of the ticket number. By default this will be Ticket# - you shouldn’t change this setting in a productive system.

>> Setting.get('ticket_hook')

FQDN setting

Get the current FQDN setting of Zammad and, if needed, adjust it.

Note

This setting has no effect on SSL certificates or any web server configurations.

>> Setting.get('fqdn')                    # Get current FQDN
>> Setting.set('fqdn', 'new.domain.tld')  # Set a new FQDN

HTTP(s) setting

This setting indirectly belongs to your FQDN setting and is relevant for variable based URLs (e.g. in notifications) Zammad generated.

Warning

This setting also affects Zammad’s CSRF token behavior. If you set this setting to e.g. HTTPs but you’re using HTTP, logging in will fail!

Note

This setting has no effect on SSL certificates or any web server configurations.

>> Setting.get('http_type')            # Get the current http type
>> Setting.set('http_type', 'https')   # Change the http type to HTTPs

Storage provider setting

The storage provider setting is set to DB on default installations. However, if you receive a lot of attachments or have a fairly busy installation, using the database to store attachments is not the best approach.

Use the following command

>> Setting.get('storage_provider')        # get the current Attachment-Storage
>> Setting.set('storage_provider', 'DB')  # Change Attachment-Storage to database

Tip

The following settings are available in a default installation:

• DB (database)

• File (Filesystem (/opt/zammad/storage/))

Configuring Elasticsearch

If your Elasticsearch installation changes, you can use the following commands to ensure that Zammad still can access Elasticsearch.

>> Setting.set('es_url', 'http://127.0.0.1:9200')           # Change elasticsearch URL to poll
>> Setting.set('es_user', 'elasticsearch')                  # Change elasticsearch user (e.g. for authentication)
>> Setting.set('es_password', 'zammad')                     # Change the elasticsearch password for authentication
>> Setting.set('es_index', Socket.gethostname + '_zammad')  # Change the index name
>> Setting.set('es_attachment_ignore', %w[.png .jpg .jpeg .mpeg .mpg .mov .bin .exe .box .mbox])  # A list of ignored file extensions (they will not be indexed)
>> Setting.set('es_attachment_max_size_in_mb', 50)          # Limit the Attachment-Size to push to your elasticsearch index

Enable proxy

Zammad needs to use a proxy for network communication? Set it here.

>> Setting.set('proxy', 'proxy.example.com:3128')
>> Setting.set('proxy_username', 'some user')
>> Setting.set('proxy_password', 'some pass')
