The other parameters used for the conf files are
data_dir : Path to the directory where Odoo stores session and file data.
db_name: Name of the database to connect to (leave empty to allow multiple).
db_filter: Filters accessible databases by pattern (useful in multi-tenant setups).
http_port: Port number for the HTTP server.
proxy_mode: Enable if Odoo is behind a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx).
transient_age_limit: This parameter controls the time (in seconds) after which transient
models (models inheriting from TransientModel) are automatically cleaned up.
translate_modules: Specifies modules to export. It is used in combination with --i18n-
export. Default value is [all].
unaccent: This tries to enable the unaccent extension when creating new databases. The
default value is False.
upgrade_path: Used to specify an additional upgrade path.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/analysisofconffileparametersintheodoo18-250407050706-5e705ba9/85/Analysis-of-Conf-File-Parameters-in-the-Odoo-18-5-320.jpg)

Analysis of Conf File Parameters in the Odoo 18
- 1. Analysis of Conf File Parameters in the Odoo 18 Enterprise
- 2. Enterprise Introduction In Odoo, the configuration file (commonly named odoo.conf) is a critical file that allows administrators to define various parameters to control the behavior of the Odoo server. These parameters include settings for database connections, server performance, logging, and other operational configurations. Lets discuss the various parameters used in setting the configuration file for Odoo 18 in the coming slides.
- 3. Enterprise Basically, Odoo is installed and set up for the development and working by keeping only the necessary parameters for conf file. They are admin_passwd = password db_host = localhost db_port = 5432 db_user = odoo16 db_password = password addons_path = addons_path xmlrpc_port = 8061 admin_passwd is the Master password for database management. This password is used to create, delete or restore the database used for the Odoo server. This master password can be reset from the UI with the server url followed by /web/database/manager with the button Set Master password. Also this can be edited from the backend through code using the conf file. Inside conf file, this can be seen in encrypted form.
- 4. Enterprise db_host: Specifies the host of the PostgreSQL database server. We can use localhost or an IP address. By default, it will be localhost. We can modify it to specify which server it should connect to for PostgreSQL. db_port: Port number for the database server (default is 5432). db_user: PostgreSQL database user. db_password: Password for the database user. addons_path: Path to the directory containing Odoo addons (comma-separated for multiple paths). xmlrpc_port: This is used to define on which port odoo should run. We give the link to run Odoo as db_host: xmlrpc_port.
- 5. Enterprise The other parameters used for the conf files are data_dir : Path to the directory where Odoo stores session and file data. db_name: Name of the database to connect to (leave empty to allow multiple). db_filter: Filters accessible databases by pattern (useful in multi-tenant setups). http_port: Port number for the HTTP server. proxy_mode: Enable if Odoo is behind a reverse proxy (e.g., Nginx). transient_age_limit: This parameter controls the time (in seconds) after which transient models (models inheriting from TransientModel) are automatically cleaned up. translate_modules: Specifies modules to export. It is used in combination with --i18n- export. Default value is [all]. unaccent: This tries to enable the unaccent extension when creating new databases. The default value is False. upgrade_path: Used to specify an additional upgrade path.
- 6. Enterprise without_demo: This parameter decides whether to disable loading demo data for modules to be installed. We can specify the modules by separating them by commas or use all to apply for all modules. Default value is False. workers: Specifies the number of workers. The default is set to 0. Some parameters are used for the performance tuning purposes. They are workers: Number of worker processes for handling requests (enable for production). max_cron_threads: Number of threads for processing scheduled actions (default is 2). limit_memory_soft: Soft memory limit per worker in bytes. limit_memory_hard: Hard memory limit per worker in bytes. limit_time_cpu: Maximum CPU time in seconds for a request. limit_time_real: Maximum real time in seconds for a request.
- 7. Enterprise The conf parameters used for keeping track of the logging information are log_db_level: This specifies the level of logging for the database. By default, the level will be warning and the remaining are info, debug, warn, error. The warning logs messages with the level WARNING on this logger. log_level: This is for Logging verbosity, ie the level of logging. The default value is info. Other logging levels are 'debug_rpc', 'warn', 'test', 'critical', 'runbot', 'debug_sql', 'error', 'debug', 'debug_rpc_answer' and 'notset'. logfile: Path to the log file (leave empty to log to stdout) logrotate: Enables log rotation (set to True). log_request: Logs incoming HTTP requests. log_db: Logs database queries. The default value is set to False. In case, we want to specify the database to be logged into, we give the name of the database.
- 8. Enterprise log_handler parameter is used to set up a handler at LEVEL for a given PREFIX. An empty PREFIX indicates the root logger. The default log_handler parameter is INFO. For the conf file, the following parameters are used for the security concerns. limit_request: It limits the number of concurrent HTTP requests (default is 8192). csv_internal_sep: CSV file field separator (default is ,) For the purpose of Email Configuration smtp_server: SMTP server address for sending emails. smtp_port: Port for the SMTP server (default is 25 or 587 for TLS).
- 9. Enterprise smtp_user: Email username for authentication. If given, the SMTP username will be set. The default value is False. smtp_password: Email password for authentication. The default value is False. We can change the default value and set up an SMTP password if needed. smtp_ssl: Specifies whether the SMTP connections should be encrypted or not. The default value is False. If True, SMTP connections will be encrypted with SSL (STARTTLS). smtp_ssl_certificate_filename: Specifies the SSL certificate used for authentication. The default value is False. smtp_ssl_private_key_filename: Specifies the SSL private key used for authentication. The default value is False.
- 10. Enterprise For testing and development, we use the conf parameters db_template: Template database for new databases. dev_mode: Enables development mode for enhanced debugging. test_enable: Activates the testing mode in Odoo. When enabled, Odoo will detect and execute tests defined in the modules being loaded. test_file: Allows you to specify a particular test file to be executed. This is useful when you want to run a specific set of tests rather than all tests in a module. test_tags: Enables developers to selectively execute tests matching these tags. This is particularly useful for large projects where running all tests can be time-consuming.
