Configuration Reference¶

This page contains the list of all the available Airflow configurations that you can set in airflow.cfg file or using environment variables.

Use the same configuration across all the Airflow components. While each component does not require all, some configurations need to be same otherwise they would not work as expected. A good example for that is secret_key which should be same on the Webserver and Worker to allow Webserver to fetch logs from Worker.

The webserver key is also used to authorize requests to Celery workers when logs are retrieved. The token generated using the secret key has a short expiry time though - make sure that time on ALL the machines that you run airflow components on is synchronized (for example using ntpd) otherwise you might get “forbidden” errors when the logs are accessed.

Note

For more information see Setting Configuration Options.

Provider-specific configuration options¶

Some of the providers have their own configuration options, you will find details of their configuration in the provider’s documentation.

You can find all the provider configuration in configurations specific for provider packages

Whether to load the default connections that ship with Airflow when airflow db init is called. It’s good to get started, but you probably want to set this to False in a production environment.

Deprecated since version 2.7.0: This option is only used by the deprecated “airflow db init” command. This option has been used in previous versions of Airflow to determine if loading of the default connections is done with the airflow db init command. This command has been deprecated and replaced by two separate commands airflow db migrate and airflow connections create-default-connections and load_default_connections is not used anymore by those commands.

Type: string
Default: True
Environment Variable: AIRFLOW__DATABASE__LOAD_DEFAULT_CONNECTIONS

max_db_retries¶

New in version 2.3.0.

Number of times the code should be retried in case of DB Operational Errors. Not all transactions will be retried as it can cause undesired state. Currently it is only used in DagFileProcessor.process_file to retry dagbag.sync_to_db.

sql_alchemy_connect_args¶

New in version 2.3.0.

Import path for connect args in SQLAlchemy. Defaults to an empty dict. This is useful when you want to configure db engine args that SQLAlchemy won’t parse in connection string. This can be set by passing a dictionary containing the create engine parameters. For more details about passing create engine parameters (keepalives variables, timeout etc) in Postgres DB Backend see Setting up a PostgreSQL Database e.g connect_args={"timeout":30} can be defined in airflow_local_settings.py and can be imported as shown below

sql_alchemy_max_overflow¶

New in version 2.3.0.

The maximum overflow size of the pool. When the number of checked-out connections reaches the size set in pool_size, additional connections will be returned up to this limit. When those additional connections are returned to the pool, they are disconnected and discarded. It follows then that the total number of simultaneous connections the pool will allow is pool_size + max_overflow, and the total number of “sleeping” connections the pool will allow is pool_size. max_overflow can be set to -1 to indicate no overflow limit; no limit will be placed on the total number of concurrent connections. Defaults to 10.

ssl_context¶

New in version 2.7.0.

ssl context to use when using SMTP and IMAP SSL connections. By default, the context is “default” which sets it to ssl.create_default_context() which provides the right balance between compatibility and security, it however requires that certificates in your operating system are updated and that SMTP/IMAP servers of yours have valid certificates that have corresponding public keys installed on your machines. You can switch it to “none” if you want to disable checking of the certificates, but it is not recommended as it allows MITM (man-in-the-middle) attacks if your infrastructure is not sufficiently secured. It should only be set temporarily while you are fixing your certificate configuration. This can be typically done by upgrading to newer version of the operating system you run Airflow components on,by upgrading/refreshing proper certificates in the OS or by updating certificates for your mail servers.

stale_dag_threshold¶

New in version 2.6.0.

How long (in seconds) to wait after we have re-parsed a DAG file before deactivating stale DAGs (DAGs which are no longer present in the expected files). The reason why we need this threshold is to account for the time between when the file is parsed and when the DAG is loaded. The absolute maximum that this could take is [core] dag_file_processor_timeout, but when you have a long timeout configured, it results in a significant delay in the deactivation of stale dags.

secret_key¶

Secret key used to run your flask app. It should be as random as possible. However, when running more than 1 instances of webserver, make sure all of them use the same secret_key otherwise one of them will error with “CSRF session token is missing”. The webserver key is also used to authorize requests to Celery workers when logs are retrieved. The token generated using the secret key has a short expiry time though - make sure that time on ALL the machines that you run airflow components on is synchronized (for example using ntpd) otherwise you might get “forbidden” errors when the logs are accessed.

Type

string

Default

{SECRET_KEY}

Environment Variables

AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__SECRET_KEY

AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__SECRET_KEY_CMD

AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__SECRET_KEY_SECRET

session_backend¶

New in version 2.2.4.

The type of backend used to store web session data, can be database or securecookie. For the database backend, sessions are store in the database and they can be managed there (for example when you reset password of the user, all sessions for that user are deleted). For the securecookie backend, sessions are stored in encrypted cookies on the client side. The securecookie mechanism is ‘lighter’ than database backend, but sessions are not deleted when you reset password of the user, which means that other than waiting for expiry time, the only way to invalidate all sessions for a user is to change secret_key and restart webserver (which also invalidates and logs out all other user’s sessions).

When you are using database backend, make sure to keep your database session table small by periodically running airflow db clean --table session command, especially if you have automated API calls that will create a new session for each call rather than reuse the sessions stored in browser cookies.

Type: string
Default: database
Environment Variable: AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__SESSION_BACKEND
Example: securecookie

worker_class¶

The worker class gunicorn should use. Choices include sync (default), eventlet, gevent.

Warning

When using gevent you might also want to set the _AIRFLOW_PATCH_GEVENT environment variable to "1" to make sure gevent patching is done as early as possible.

Be careful to set _AIRFLOW_PATCH_GEVENT only on the web server as gevent patching may affect the scheduler behavior via the multiprocessing sockets module and cause crash.
