Environment Variables

Mandatory

• TARGETS - Target URLs running PyNinja in the following format.
  • TARGETS='[{"name":"node1","base_url":"http://192.168.1.10:8000","apikey":"token1"},{"name":"node2","base_url":"http://192.168.1.11:8000"}]'

Optional

• USERNAME - Username to authenticate the monitoring page.
