Settings

The settings.json file is generated with each Action that is initiated on a BrazenAgent. The file will be present in the working directory when the Action is executed. Once the Action has completed, the settings.json file will be cached in the results cache alongside the results zip file.

You can import the settings by getting the contents of the file and then converting it from JSON.

Settings' Settings

Here is a sample settings file without any parameters:

{
  "runner_identity":"8c589a92-7130-425a-b98c-a9ba394a7827",
  "host":"https://portal.runway.host:443",
  "thread_id":"dee105f3-0d0e-4b96-a541-45ddbe4545f1",
  "job_id":"6faa7bee-c3a5-4b42-9849-ae852ee8ec01",
  "action_instance_id":"8b4f5b0e-37f5-4d21-9dcf-57e0352d0665",
  "repository_action_id":"bdfb6308-2221-4e73-833b-f9481a3441b9",
  "prodigal_object_id":"9941b7c2-4ab3-41dc-8654-d8cd48fb97e9",
  "prodigal_asset_name":"MobileWolf",
  "atoken":"7a0d4a3be298ea1f8145449f983efa59"
}
