# Edit the Engine Configuration

You can edit the engine configuration by either modifying the `d1.conf` file on the engine, or in Cortex XSOAR by modifying specific properties in the **JSON formatted configuration** dialog box (Shell installations only).

1. Modify the `d1.conf` file.
   1. On the machine on which you installed the Engine, navigate to the `d1.conf` file:

      | Installation Type | Location                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
      | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
      | RPM, DEB, Shell   | <p><strong><code>/usr/local/demisto</code></strong></p><p>If using multiple engines, the location is <strong><code>/usr/local/demisto/</code></strong><em><strong><code>\<name of the engine></code></strong></em>. For example, <strong><code>/usr/local/demisto/d1\_e1</code></strong></p> |
      | ZIP               | Same folder as the binary.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
   2. Modify the file as required. See [Common Properties When Editing an Engine Configuration](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/engines/configure-engines/common-properties-when-editing-an-engine-configuration.md).

      You can [Configure the Engine to Use a Web Proxy](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/engines/configure-engines/configure-the-engine-to-use-a-web-proxy.md) or [Configure the Engine to Call the Server Without Using a Proxy](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/engines/configure-engines/configure-the-engine-to-call-the-server-without-using-a-proxy.md).
2. Modify the configuration in Cortex XSOAR.

   Ensure that the data is in JSON format. The properties that you specify override the values defined in the `d1.conf` file. A use case for modifying the engine configuration is if you want to generate engine logs for a specific log level.

   1. From the engines table, select the engine for which you want to modify the configuration.
   2. Click **Edit Configuration**.
   3. In the **JSON formatted configuration** dialog box, modify the properties as required. For more information, see [Common Properties When Editing an Engine Configuration](/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/engines/configure-engines/common-properties-when-editing-an-engine-configuration.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/onboarding-in-cortex-xsoar/engines/configure-engines/edit-the-engine-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
