Path to the PID file. If omitted, automatically set to unix_socket_dir/pgagroal.port.pid

The behavior for updating the operating system process title, mainly related to connection processes. Allowed settings are: never (or off), does not update the process title; strict to set the process title without overriding the existing initial process title length; minimal to set the process title to username/database; verbose (or full) to set the process title to user@host:port/database. Please note that strict and minimal are honored only on those systems that do not provide a native way to set the process title (e.g., Linux). On other systems, there is no difference between strict and minimal and the assumed behaviour is minimal even if strict is used. never and verbose are always honored, on every system. On Linux systems the process title is always trimmed to 255 characters, while on system that provide a natve way to set the process title it can be longer

Disconnect clients that have been active for more than the specified seconds. This setting DOES NOT take long running transactions into account. Default is off
