Managing configuration settings
===============================

Postgres Enterprise Manager reads multiple configuration files at
startup:

-  ``config.py`` — This is the main configuration file. Don’t modify it.
   You can use it as a reference for configuration settings that one of
   the following files might be override.

-  ``config_distro.py`` — This file is read after ``config.py`` and is
   intended for packagers to change any settings that are required for
   their Postgres Enterprise Manager distribution. This typically
   includes certain paths and file locations. This file is optional.
   Packagers can create it in the same directory as ``config.py`` if
   it’s needed.

-  ``config_local.py`` — This file is read after ``config_distro.py``
   and is intended for end users to change any default or packaging
   specific settings that they want to adjust to meet local preferences
   or standards. This file is optional. Create it in the same directory
   as ``config.py`` if it’s needed.

A copy of the default ``config.py`` file is included in the PEM online
help for reference.
