Service#
Listen address & port#
By default the application listens on all interfaces and port 9000. This is possible to specify listen address and ports with following parameters in the application.conf file:
http.address=127.0.0.1
http.port=9000
Context#
If you are using a reverse proxy, and you want to specify a location (ex: /thehive), updating the configuration of TheHive is also required
Example
play.http.context: "/thehive"
Specific configuration for streams#
If you are using a reverse proxy like Nginx, you might receive error popups with the following message: StreamSrv 504 Gateway Time-Out.
You need to change default setting for long polling refresh, Set stream.longPolling.refresh accordingly.
Example
stream.longPolling.refresh: 45 seconds
Manage content length#
Content length of text and files managed by the application are limited by default.
Before TheHive v4.1.1, the Play framework sets the HTTP body size limit to 100KB by default for textual content (json, xml, text, form data) and 10MB for file uploads.
Since TheHive v4.1.1, these values are set with default parameters:
# Max file size
play.http.parser.maxDiskBuffer: 128MB
# Max textual content length
play.http.parser.maxMemoryBuffer: 256kB
If you feel that these should be updated, edit /etc/thehive/application.conf file and update these parameters accordingly.
Tip
if you are using a NGINX reverse proxy in front of TheHive, be aware that it doesn't distinguish between text data and a file upload.
So, you should also set the client_max_body_size parameter in your NGINX server configuration to the highest value among the two: file upload and text size defined in TheHive application.conf file.
