Configuring =========== Riemann-dash takes an optional config file, which you can specify as the first command-line argument. If none is given, it looks for a file in the local directory: config.rb.

You'll find a few usage +examples in "example/config.rb". ``` ruby set :port, 6000 # HTTP server on port 6000 set :bind, "1.2.3.4" # Bind to a different interface config[:ws_config] = 'custom/config.json' # Specify custom workspace config ``` +Putting in production +===================== +If you expect more than a couple of simultaneous users, you should consider +running Riemann-dash in a proper application server. The easiest way is to +install thin or puma. Riemann-dash will automatically use one of them if they +are present.
