3. Edit /etc/disbatch/config.json
   1. Change mongohost to the URI of your MongoDB servers
   2. Change database to the MongoDB database name you are using for Disbatch
   3. Ensure proper SSL settings in attributes, or remove it if not using SSL
   4. Change passwords in auth for the respective MongoDB users, or delete the field or set its value to null if not using MongoDB authentication
   5. Set plugins to the name(s) of the plugins you want accessible for queue creation
   6. Set monitoring to false if you want GET /monitoring to ignore checks
   7. Set balance.enabled to true if using QueueBalance

Create MongoDB users for Disbatch if using authentication

• Configure the permissions your plugin needs in /etc/disbatch/plugin-permissions.json.

• If your MongoDB root user has a different name, passs that to --root_user. If no users exist yet, also pass --create_root. See the perldoc for more info.

    disbatch-create-users --config /etc/disbatch/config.json --root_user root
