+# pktvisor Config
+
+## Status
+**Experimental**: implemented and available for beta testing but the interface may still change
+
+## Summary
+
+Pktvisord binary allows multiple [command line arguments](https://github.com/ns1labs/pktvisor#agent-usage) on its start up. Almost all the parameters can be passed to pktvisord 
+via yaml configuration file. Config file can also be combined with command line arguments.
+
+Moreover, the config file has a feature to allow setup of global configuration for specific handlers (`global_handler_config`). 
+The configuration set for a specific handler in this tag will be applied to every handler created in this agent which has the same specified type.
+
+
+`config.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+version: "1.0"
+
+visor:
+  # visor/config supports almost all pktvisord command line arguments 
+  config:
+    verbose: true
+    daemon: false
+    no_track: true
+    max_deep_sample: 50
+    periods: 3
+    syslog: false
+    log_file: "/path/to/logfile"
+    prometheus: false
+    prom_instance: "prom-ID"
+    geo_city: "/path/to/geoCityDB"
+    geo_asn: "/path/to/geoASNDB"
+    admin_api: true
+    tls: false
+    port: 10853
+    host: localhost
+    tls_cert: "/path/to/tlsCert"
+    tls_key: "/path/to/tlsKey"
+    module_list: false
+    module_dir: "/path/to/moduleDir"
+    cp_disable: true
+    cp_token: "crashpadToken"
+    cp_url: "crashpadURL"
+    cp_path: "/path/to/crashpad/executable"
+  #configuration inserted here will be applied to every specified handler in the agent provisioned with this config file 
+  global_handler_config:
+    #specifies a global configuration for DNS handlers 
+    dns:
+      #if a policy with a DNS handler specifies different value for 'only_rcode', this global config will be overwritten
+      only_rcode: 2
+
+```
+
+## REST API
+
+Config setup is only allowed at start up. Therefore, it is not supported on the REST API.
+
+## Standalone Command Line Example
+
+```shell
+$ pktvisord --config config.yaml
+```
