---------------

-* ``DEBUG``: Used for more traceback information on development environment.
-  Various other security settings are derived from this setting! Defaults to
-  ``True`` for the ``dev`` environment, otherwise defaults to ``False``.
+Elastic APM
+-----------
 
-* ``IS_HTTPS``: Used to construct absolute URLs and controls a variety of
-  security settings. Defaults to the inverse of ``DEBUG``.
+* ``ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL``: URL where Elastic APM is hosted. Defaults to: ``None``.

+* ``ELASTIC_APM_SECRET_TOKEN``: Token used to communicate with Elastic APM. Defaults to: ``default``.
+* ``ELASTIC_APM_TRANSACTION_SAMPLE_RATE``: By default, the agent will sample every transaction (e.g. request to your service). To reduce overhead and storage requirements, set the sample rate to a value between 0.0 and 1.0. Defaults to: ``0.1``.
 
-* ``SUBPATH``: If hosted on a subpath, provide the value here. If you provide
-  ``/gateway``, the component assumes its running at the base URL:
-  ``https://somedomain/gateway/``. Defaults to an empty string.
 
-* ``SENTRY_DSN``: URL of the sentry project to send error reports to. Defaults
-  to an empty string (ie. no monitoring).
+Optional
+--------
 
-* ``NOTIFICATIONS_DISABLED``: indicates whether or not notifications should be
-  sent to the Notificaties API for operations on the Object endpoint.
-  Defaults to ``True`` for the ``dev`` environment, otherwise defaults to ``False``.
+* ``SITE_ID``: The database ID of the site object. You usually won't have to touch this. Defaults to: ``1``.
+* ``DEBUG``: Only set this to ``True`` on a local development environment. Various other security settings are derived from this setting!. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST``: whether to grab the domain/host from the X-Forwarded-Host header or not. This header is typically set by reverse proxies (such as nginx, traefik, Apache...). Note: this is a header that can be spoofed and you need to ensure you control it before enabling this. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``IS_HTTPS``: Used to construct absolute URLs and controls a variety of security settings. Defaults to the inverse of ``DEBUG``.
+* ``CACHE_DEFAULT``: redis cache address for the default cache. Defaults to: ``localhost:6379/0``.
+* ``CACHE_AXES``: redis cache address for the brute force login protection cache. Defaults to: ``localhost:6379/0``.
+* ``EMAIL_HOST``: hostname for the outgoing e-mail server. Defaults to: ``localhost``.
+* ``EMAIL_PORT``: port number of the outgoing e-mail server. Note that if you're on Google Cloud, sending e-mail via port 25 is completely blocked and you should use 487 for TLS. Defaults to: ``25``.
+* ``EMAIL_HOST_USER``: username to connect to the mail server. Defaults to: ``(empty string)``.
+* ``EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD``: password to connect to the mail server. Defaults to: ``(empty string)``.
+* ``EMAIL_USE_TLS``: whether to use TLS or not to connect to the mail server. Should be True if you're changing the ``EMAIL_PORT`` to 487. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL``: The default email address from which emails are sent. Defaults to: ``objects@example.com``.
+* ``LOG_STDOUT``: whether to log to stdout or not. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``LOG_LEVEL``: control the verbosity of logging output. Available values are ``CRITICAL``, ``ERROR``, ``WARNING``, ``INFO`` and ``DEBUG``. Defaults to: ``WARNING``.
+* ``LOG_QUERIES``: enable (query) logging at the database backend level. Note that you must also set ``DEBUG=1``, which should be done very sparingly!. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``LOG_REQUESTS``: enable logging of the outgoing requests. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE``: The value of the SameSite flag on the session cookie. This flag prevents the cookie from being sent in cross-site requests thus preventing CSRF attacks and making some methods of stealing session cookie impossible. Defaults to: ``Strict``.
+* ``CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE``: The value of the SameSite flag on the CSRF cookie. This flag prevents the cookie from being sent in cross-site requests. Defaults to: ``Strict``.
+* ``ENVIRONMENT``: An identifier for the environment, displayed in the admin depending on the settings module used and included in the error monitoring (see ``SENTRY_DSN``). The default is set according to ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE``.
+* ``SUBPATH``: If hosted on a subpath, provide the value here. If you provide ``/gateway``, the component assumes its running at the base URL: ``https://somedomain/gateway/``. Defaults to an empty string. Defaults to: ``None``.
+* ``RELEASE``: The version number or commit hash of the application (this is also sent to Sentry).
+* ``NUM_PROXIES``: the number of reverse proxies in front of the application, as an integer. This is used to determine the actual client IP adres. On Kubernetes with an ingress you typically want to set this to 2. Defaults to: ``1``.
+* ``CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS``: A list of trusted origins for unsafe requests (e.g. POST). Defaults to: ``[]``.
+* ``NOTIFICATIONS_DISABLED``: indicates whether or not notifications should be sent to the Notificaties API for operations on the API endpoints. Defaults to ``True`` for the ``dev`` environment, otherwise defaults to ``False``.
+* ``DISABLE_2FA``: Whether or not two factor authentication should be disabled. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``LOG_OUTGOING_REQUESTS_EMIT_BODY``: Whether or not outgoing request bodies should be logged. Defaults to: ``True``.
+* ``LOG_OUTGOING_REQUESTS_DB_SAVE``: Whether or not outgoing request logs should be saved to the database. Defaults to: ``False``.
+* ``LOG_OUTGOING_REQUESTS_DB_SAVE_BODY``: Whether or not outgoing request bodies should be saved to the database. Defaults to: ``True``.
+* ``LOG_OUTGOING_REQUESTS_MAX_AGE``: The amount of time after which request logs should be deleted from the database. Defaults to: ``7``.
+* ``SENTRY_DSN``: URL of the sentry project to send error reports to. Default empty, i.e. -> no monitoring set up. Highly recommended to configure this.
 
-* ``USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST``: whether to grab the domain/host from the ``X-Forwarded-Host``
-  header or not. This header is typically set by reverse proxies (such as nginx,
-  traefik, Apache...). Default ``False`` - this is a header that can be spoofed and you
-  need to ensure you control it before enabling this.
 
-* ``DISABLE_2FA``: whether to disable two-factor authentication. Defaults to ``False``.
-  If set to ``False``, 2FA will be required if not using OIDC.
 
-* ``LOG_REQUESTS``: whether to enable logging of outgoing HTTP requests. Defaults to ``False``.
 
-* ``LOG_OUTGOING_REQUESTS_DB_SAVE``: whether to save logged requests to the database. Defaults to ``False``.
