Question about collector configuration

For engineers Collectors
1

Hi all, when tweaking the configuration file for collector, there ware some parameters that are not completely clear to us:
#1:
paths {
# “/com.acme/track” = “/com.snowplowanalytics.snowplow/tp2”
# “/com.acme/redirect” = “/r/tp2”
# “/com.acme/iglu” = “/com.snowplowanalytics.iglu/v1”
}
Are these something we absolutely have to have in production? Is there a more detailed description that explains what they do? Do we just replace acme with our domain?

#2:
policyRef = "/w3c/p3p.xml
Do we need to have an actual file for this somewhere?

#3:
cookie {
enabled = true
expiration = “365 days”
name = our-sp
domains = [
“ourdomain.com” # e.g. “domain.com” -> any origin domain ending with this will be matched and domain.com will be returned
“secure.ourdomain.com”
]
domains += sp.ourdomain.com
fallbackDomain = “sp.ourdomain.com”
secure = false
httpOnly = false
sameSite = “None”
}

How do we configure these and do we need to create any content for the subdomains or point the subdomains to anything?

Hi @alexb ,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.

We recently migrated our documentation to our docs website.

You can find information about paths here and about policyRef here.

For the cookie and the domains, you can find information here.

Please do not hesitate if you need more help.

Thanks. This is helpful. We have everything running in production but this will help with finetuning!!
