# Connector Framework Server Configuration File

To configure CFS, modify the configuration file. The file is located in the CFS installation folder and can be modified with a text editor.

The parameters in the configuration file are divided into sections that represent CFS functionality. CFS supports standard Server, Service, Logging, and License parameters.

## Service Section

The `[Service]` section specifies the service port used by CFS.

## Server Section

The `[Server]` section specifies the ACI port of the Connector Framework Server. When you configure connectors, the `IngestPort` parameter in the connector configuration file should point to this port.

## Actions Section

The `[Actions]` section specifies how CFS processes actions that are sent to the ACI port.

## Logging Section

The `[Logging]` section contains configuration parameters that determine how messages are logged. You can create separate log streams for different message types. The configuration file also contains a section to configure each of the log streams.

## Indexing Section

The `[Indexing]` section specifies the host name or IP address, and port, of machines where data is sent after it has been processed by CFS. This is usually the IP address and ACI port of a Content component. You can use other indexing parameters to specify how data is indexed.

## ImportService Section

The `[ImportService]` section specifies details for File Content Extraction.

## ImportTasks Section

The `[ImportTasks]` section is used to set up custom import tasks. CFS performs these tasks on data before it is indexed. For more information about Import Tasks, see Manipulate and Enrich Documents.

## IndexTasks Section

The `[IndexTasks]` section is used to set up custom index tasks. Knowledge Discovery connectors detect when documents are updated or removed from a repository. The connectors pass this information to CFS so that the documents can be updated or removed from the index. When CFS receives this information, it can perform custom Index tasks before the information is sent to the Content component. For more information about Index tasks, see Manipulate and Enrich Documents.
