Configuration

Our dashboard provides two configuration methods. The first one, Easy Setup, is a simple rule engine that allows you to configure the system without dealing with VCL code. The second option gives you the ability to write your VCL code, enabling a more detailed customization of the system’s behavior.

Easy Setup

Our easy setup allows you to perform key actions on your sites in a simple and agile way. It is based on 'if-then' conditional logic. To use it, you need to define a rule with a set of conditions and a specific action for those conditions.

You can find more information about this type of setup here.

Write your VCL code

Our CDN uses a modified version of the Varnish Configuration Language (VCL), a powerful language that will enable you to customize your site behavior.

A table will be displayed with the history of all configurations.

The current and active configuration is the one marked with a green tick under the "Status" header. You can see when that configuration took effect under "Deployment date".

You can perform the following actions on any of the configurations:

• View - Opens a read-only view of the configuration, where you can check the code and compare with other configurations.

• Duplicate - Opens an editor to deploy a new configuration prefilled with the code of this particular configuration.

• Back to production - A quick way to deploy an older configuration again, it's a "rollback" button.

Deploying a new configuration

To deploy a new configuration, click on the "ADD VCL CONFIG" button or, if you want to edit over an older configuration, use the "Duplicate" button instead.

An editor will be displayed where you can edit the VCL code or you can copy it to your favorite editor and paste it later.

AI Assistant

Within the new configuration creation modal, an AI assistant is included that allows you to generate VCL code based on a description of the desired behavior.

The assistant translates the request into VCL code, which can then be copied and pasted into the VCL editor below, where the user can validate it, modify it manually if needed, and deploy the configuration.

The editor embeds some autocompletion that can be activated using the CTRL key.

When you're done editing the configuration, click on "Save". The configuration will be checked for syntax errors and, if any are present, an error will be shown. For example, here we tried to use req.http in the vcl_backend_response subroutine which only accepts bereq.http and beresp.http:

Otherwise, if the code is correct. the deployment will be queued and a clock will be displayed in the status of that configuration. Deployments usually take between 2 and 7 minutes to fully propagate.

Remember that everything that you can do on our dashboard is available on our API.
