# Kill Switches
EDMarketConnector implements a Kill Switch system that allows us to disable features based on a version mask. Meaning that we can stop major bugs from affecting the services we support, at the expense of disabling that support.
## Format
Killswitches are stored in a JSON file that is queried by EDMC on startup. The format is as follows:
| Key | Type | Description |
| --------------: | :-----: | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `version` | integer | the version of the Kill Switch JSON file, always 1 |
| `last_updated` | string | When last the kill switches were updated (for human use only) |
| `kill_switches` | array | The kill switches this file contains (expanded below) |
The `kill_switches` array contains kill switch objects. Each contains two fields:
| Key | Type | Description |
| --------: | :----------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `version` | `semantic version` | The version of EDMC these kill switches apply to (Must be valid semver) |
| `kills` | array of strings | The different keys to disable |
An example follows:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"last_updated": "19 October 2020",
"kill_switches": [
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"kills": ["plugins.eddn.send"]
}
]
}
```
### Versions
Versions are checked using equality checks on `semantic_version.Version` instances. Meaning that **all** fields are checked (ie, Major, Minor, Patch, Prerelease, and Build).
## Plugin support
Plugins may use the killswitch system simply by hosting their own version of the killswitch file, and fetching it
using `killswitch.get_kill_switches(target='https://example.com/myplugin_killswitches.json')`. The returned object can
be used to query the kill switch set, see the docstrings for more information on specifying versions.
## Currently supported killswitch strings
The current recognised (to EDMC and its internal plugins) killswitch strings are as follows:
| Kill Switch | Description |
| :--------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `plugins.eddn.send` | Disables all use of the send method on EDDN (effectively disables EDDN updates) |
| `plugins.edsm.worker` | Disables the send portion of the EDSM worker thread (effectively disables EDSM updates) |
| `plugins.inara.worker` | Disables the send portion of the INARA worker thread (effectively disables INARA updates) |
