 The `config.yml` configures some global measurement settings that are used when
 executing the `runner.py` directly or through cron / cluster-client mode.

+## optimization
+Here you can ignore certain optimizations to not run.
+
+All possible optimizations are found in the `/optimization_providers` folder of the GMT.
+
+To disable for instance the *container_build_time* optimization you could set:
+```yml
+optimization:
+  ignore:
+    - container_build_time
+```

+## sci
+
+Please see for details: [SCI →]({{< relref "sci" >}}).
+
+## electricity_maps_token
+
+If you are using [Eco CI](https://www.green-coding.io/products/eco-ci) or [Carbon DB](https://www.green-coding.io/products/eco-ci) you need to configure Electricitymaps with a valid API token to get carbon intensity data.
+
+The value is a string.
+
+Example:
+```yml
+electricity_maps_token: 'MY_TOKEN'
+```
+
+## User Settings
+
+Settings that are specifc to a user and apply to all machines that you are measuring on equally are to be configured via the Dashboard.
+For local installations these are to be found under [https://metrics.green-coding.internal:9142/settings.html](https://metrics.green-coding.internal:9142/settings.html). If you use our [Hosted Service](https://metrics.green-coding.io/) you find it at [https://metrics.green-coding.io/settings.html](https://metrics.green-coding.io/settings.html)
