title: Configuration
---
_ansible-doctor_ comes with default settings which should be sufficient for most users to start, but most of the settings can be adjusted.
{{< toc >}}
Configuration options can be set in different places, which are processed in the following order (last wins):
- Standard configuration (built-in)
- Global configuration file (the path depends on the operating system)
- Folder-based configuration file (`.ansibledoctor.yml|.ansibledoctor.yaml|.ansibledoctor`) in the current working directory
- Environment Variables
- CLI options
## Defaults
```YAML
---
# Default is the current working directory.
role_dir:
# Default is the basename of 'role_name'.
role_name:
# Auto-detect if the given directory is a role, can be disabled
# to parse loose files instead.
role_detection: True
# Don't write anything to file system
dry_run: False
logging:
# Possible options debug | info | warning | error | critical
level: "warning"
# Json logging can be enabled if a parsable output is required
json: False
# Path to write rendered template file. Default is the current working directory.
output_dir:
# Default is built-in templates directory.
template_dir:
template: readme
# Don't ask to overwrite if output file exists.
force_overwrite: False
# Load custom header from given file and append template output to it before write.
custom_header: ""
exclude_files: []
# Examples

# if the tag is not used in an annotation.

```
