# Configuration
monitor-mcp loads its configuration from `~/.monitor-mcp.json` (or the path set in `MONITOR_MCP_CONFIG` environment variable).
## Config File Location
| Method | Path |
|--------|------|
| Default | `~/.monitor-mcp.json` |
| Environment variable | `MONITOR_MCP_CONFIG=/path/to/config.json` |
## Config File Structure
```json
{
"defaultConnection": "production",
"connections": {
"production": {
"host": "server.example.com",
"port": 22,
"username": "deploy",
"keyPath": "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
},
"staging": {
"host": "staging.example.com",
"username": "deploy",
"keyPath": "~/.ssh/id_ed25519"
}
},
"grafana": {
"baseUrl": "https://grafana.example.com",
"apiKey": "glsa_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
},
"sitesJsonPath": "/path/to/sites.json"
}
```
## Top-Level Fields
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `connections` | `Record<string, MonitorConnection>` | Yes | Named SSH server connections |
| `defaultConnection` | `string` | No | Default connection name. Falls back to the first key in `connections` |
| `grafana` | `GrafanaConfig` | No | Grafana instance configuration |
| `sitesJsonPath` | `string` | No | Path to a `sites.json` file for site inventory management |
## Connection Fields
Each entry in `connections` defines an SSH target server.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `host` | `string` | Yes | — | Hostname or IP address |
| `port` | `number` | No | `22` | SSH port |
| `username` | `string` | Yes | — | SSH login user |
| `keyPath` | `string` | No | — | Path to SSH private key file |
## Grafana Fields
The `grafana` block enables Grafana monitoring tools (`grafana_health`, `grafana_dashboards`, `grafana_alerts`, etc.).
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `baseUrl` | `string` | Yes | Grafana instance URL (e.g. `https://grafana.example.com`) |
| `apiKey` | `string` | Yes | Grafana service account token (Bearer auth) |
Both `baseUrl` and `apiKey` must be present for Grafana tools to activate. If omitted, all Grafana tools return "Grafana not configured".
### Grafana from sites.json
If `sitesJsonPath` is set and the `sites.json` file contains a top-level `grafana` block, monitor-mcp will use it as a fallback when `grafana` is not set directly in the config file.
## sitesJsonPath
Points to a `sites.json` file that defines monitored sites. This enables the `monitor_sites`, `monitor_site_add`, and `monitor_site_remove` tools.
### sites.json Format
```json
{
"grafana": {
"baseUrl": "https://grafana.example.com",
"apiKey": "glsa_xxxxxxxxxxxx",
"dashboardFolder": "Sites",
"dashboardFolderUid": "abc123"
},
"sites": [
{
"name": "mysite-live",
"url": "https://example.com",
"type": "joomla",
"client": "Example Corp",
"joomlaToken": "tok_xxxx",
"akeebaSecret": "secret123",
"tlsVerify": true
}
]
}
```
### Site Definition Fields
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | Yes | Unique site identifier (e.g. `mysite-live`, `mysite-dev`) |
| `url` | `string` | Yes | Site URL |
| `type` | `string` | Yes | Site type: `joomla`, `dolibarr`, `gitea`, `grafana`, `generic` |
| `client` | `string` | Yes | Client name label |
| `joomlaToken` | `string` | No | Joomla API token |
| `dolibarrToken` | `string` | No | Dolibarr API token |
| `akeebaSecret` | `string` | No | Akeeba Backup frontend secret word |
| `tlsVerify` | `boolean` | No | Verify TLS certificates (default `true`) |
## Minimal Config Example
The simplest valid configuration with a single server:
```json
{
"connections": {
"myserver": {
"host": "192.168.1.100",
"username": "admin"
}
}
}
```
