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 on setting the configuration, see Setting Configuration Options
