Configuring Sigma

Sigma is configured to run out of the box, without alteration.

Sigma configuration specifies information such as the following:

• The number of threads to use in running Sigma.
• The name and location of the policy file (if any).
• The location of the directory where you want to store temporary files.
• Which checks to disable.

Configuration options are either global or particular to the sigma analyze command:

• Use a configuration file to change both global and analyze options.
• Use the sigma analyze command to change analyze options.
• Use environment variables to set both global and analyze options.
