Server support

Chronicle connection strings follow this general format:

chronicle://[username:password@]host[:port][/?options]

Components

• Scheme: chronicle:// or chronicle+srv:// for DNS SRV record lookup
• Authentication (optional): username:password@ for client credentials authentication
• Host: The server hostname or IP address
• Port (optional): Defaults to 35000
• Options (optional): Query string parameters for additional configuration

Authentication modes

Chronicle supports multiple authentication modes. The mode is determined by the credentials present in the connection string:

• None: No credentials provided
• Client credentials: Username and password supplied in the authority section
• API key: apiKey query parameter

You cannot combine client credentials and API key authentication in the same connection string.

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Example
apiKey	string	API key for API key authentication	?apiKey=your-api-key
disableTls	boolean	Disables TLS (development only)	?disableTls=true

TLS

TLS is enabled by default. You can disable it using disableTls=true when TLS is terminated upstream (for example by an ingress or reverse proxy).

See TLS configuration for certificate setup.
