Display current system configuration settings and operational parameters to understand Maenifold’s runtime environment, debug setup issues, and verify system paths. This tool provides essential configuration information including memory paths, database locations, synchronization settings, and performance parameters for troubleshooting and system validation.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (none) | - | - | GetConfig takes no parameters - displays current system configuration | {} |
{}
Shows complete system configuration including all paths, timing settings, and operational parameters.
{}
Use when Maenifold is not behaving as expected to verify configuration values and identify potential issues.
{}
Run in new deployment environments to confirm all configuration values are correctly resolved and accessible.
Maenifold provides sensible defaults for all configuration parameters based on common usage patterns and optimal performance characteristics.
All configuration values can be customized via environment variables:
Configuration automatically adapts to platform conventions while allowing full customization through environment variables.
Run GetConfig immediately after Maenifold installation to verify all paths are correctly resolved and accessible.
Use GetConfig when moving Maenifold between development, staging, and production environments to ensure configuration consistency.
Always check configuration first when investigating Maenifold issues - many problems stem from incorrect path configuration.
Review timing and performance parameters when optimizing Maenifold for specific workloads or system constraints.
Include GetConfig output when reporting issues or documenting system setup for team knowledge sharing.
While GetConfig displays configured paths, it doesn’t verify accessibility - use ListMemories or MemoryStatus to confirm paths are usable.
GetConfig shows the final resolved values after environment variable processing and type conversion.
When environment variables are not set, GetConfig displays the built-in default values that ensure Maenifold operates correctly.
Configuration automatically adapts to Windows, macOS, and Linux platform conventions for user directories and file paths.
Cause: Environment variables may be overriding default locations
Solution: Check environment variables with same names as configuration keys
Cause: MAENIFOLD_ROOT environment variable set incorrectly
Solution: Verify environment variable or unset to use default: ~/maenifold
Cause: MAENIFOLD_DATABASE_PATH points to read-only or non-existent directory
Solution: Ensure database path directory exists and is writable
Cause: MAENIFOLD_AUTO_SYNC environment variable set to false
Solution: Check environment variable or unset to enable automatic synchronization (default: true)
Cause: Environment variables overriding performance defaults
Solution: Review all MAENIFOLD_* environment variables for unintended overrides
GetConfig follows Ma Protocol principles with static configuration loading and no runtime dependency injection complexity.
All configuration supports environment variable override while providing sensible defaults for immediate usability.
Configuration resolves paths relative to user home directory by default, with full override capability for custom deployments.
Configuration values are loaded once at startup and cached statically for optimal performance across all tool operations.
Many Maenifold deployment scripts include GetConfig verification to ensure proper configuration before operation.
When Maenifold tools report errors, GetConfig output provides essential context for diagnosing configuration-related issues.
Teams often standardize Maenifold configuration through environment variables documented alongside GetConfig output.
System monitoring tools can call GetConfig to verify Maenifold configuration consistency across deployment environments.
GetConfig exemplifies Maenifold’s Ma Protocol philosophy:
This tool provides the foundational system information needed to understand, troubleshoot, and validate Maenifold configuration across all deployment contexts.
