Configuration

providers:
  ns1:
    class: octodns_ns1.Ns1Provider
    api_key: env/NS1_API_KEY
    # Only required if using dynamic records
    monitor_regions:
      - lga
    # Optional. Default: false. true is Recommended, but not the default
    # for backwards compatibility reasons. If true, all NS1 monitors will
    # use a shared notify list rather than one per record & value
    # combination. See CHANGELOG,
    # https://github.com/octodns/octodns/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md, for more
    # information before enabling this behavior.
    shared_notifylist: false
    # Optional. Default: None. If set, back off in advance to avoid 429s
    # from rate-limiting. Generally this should be set to the number
    # of processes or workers hitting the API, e.g. the value of
    # `max_workers`.
    parallelism: 11
    # Optional. Default: 4. Number of times to retry if a 429 response
    # is received.
    retry_count: 4
    # Optional. Default: None. Additional options or overrides passed to
    # the NS1 SDK config, as key-value pairs.
    client_config:
        endpoint: my.nsone.endpoint # Default: api.nsone.net
        ignore-ssl-errors: true     # Default: false
        follow_pagination: false    # Default: true
    # Optional. Default: HTTP/1.0 . Default HTTP protocol to use when 
    # health-checking dynamic record endpoints. See "Health Check Options" 
    # README section below to override per dynamic record.
    default_healthcheck_http_version: HTTP/1.0

Development

See the /script/ directory for some tools to help with the development process. They generally follow the Script to rule them all pattern. Most useful is ./script/bootstrap which will create a venv and install both the runtime and development related requirements. It will also hook up a pre-commit hook that covers most of what's run by CI.
