Configuration

The Lumina Status Validator application provides configuration options for managing servers and the refresh time.

Server List

The server list is stored in a JSON file named config.json. It contains the server names, IP addresses, and maintenance mode status. The file is automatically created and loaded when the application starts.

You can manually edit the config.json file to add, remove, or modify server entries.

Refresh Time

The refresh time determines how often the application updates the server status. By default, the refresh time is set to 5 minutes. You can configure the refresh time using the config command followed by the desired number of minutes.

For example, to set the refresh time to

10 minutes:

config 10

The application's title bar displays the current refresh time, next refresh countdown, and the last refresh time (in UTC). It updates in real-time to provide status information.
