Robot Configuration Files

Robot configuration files define the behavior of the robots. These files reside in the directory /var/opt/SUNWportal/searchservers/searchserverid/config. The following list provides a description for each of the robot configuration files.

classification.conf

Contains rules used to classify RDs generated by the robot.

filter.conf

Defines the enumeration and generation filters used by the robot.

filterrules.conf

Contains the robot's site definitions, starting point URLs, rules for filtering based on mime type, and URL patterns.

robot.conf

Defines most operating properties for the robot.

Because you can set most properties by using the Search Server Administration interface, you typically do not need to edit the robot.conf file. However, advanced users might manually edit this file to set properties that cannot be set through the interface.
