The statistics-address configuration variable

statistics-address is the address where Archiveopteryx listens for new statistics requests. An empty string, means to listen on all available IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

use-ipv4 is a string. Its default value is 127.0.0.1:

statistics-address = 127.0.0.1

You can see its current value with the command aox show cf statistics-address.

String syntax

Strings may be written as a single unquoted word or quoted with either single or double quotes, as shown in these three examples:

db-password = single.word
db-password = "rock'n'roll" # a 12-character password
db-password = 'two words, quoted' # a 17-character one

Only single-line strings can be used. Single-word strings may contain the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, dot, hyphen and slash.

Spaces are allowed at the start of the line, before and after '=', and after the value. Comments extend from '#' to the end of the line.
