Configuration file

There is a lot of information about instances available in EC2 that can be displayed and what everyone wants to see is different. Much like the web console is customizable so is the claws application via a configuration file written in YAML.

Initialization

To initialize claws with a configuration file run the --init option:

claws --init

This will generate a configuration file in your home directory:

$HOME/.claws.yml

Properties

This file is certainly going to change over time but at present the default generated file looks like:
