tunnels

Added in v1.9.6

tunnels configures tunnel lifecycle management, allowing Nebula to automatically drop tunnels that have been inactive for a period of time.

tunnels:
  drop_inactive: false
  inactivity_timeout: 10m

tunnels.drop_inactive​

Reloadable Default: false

Controls whether inactive tunnels are maintained or dropped after the inactivity_timeout period has elapsed. In general, it is a good idea to enable this setting. It will be enabled by default in a future release.

tunnels.inactivity_timeout​

Reloadable Default: 10m

Controls how long a tunnel must not see any inbound or outbound traffic before being considered inactive and eligible to be dropped. Only applies when tunnels.drop_inactive is enabled.
