# Module `netapp_ontap.config`

Copyright © 2020 NetApp Inc. All rights reserved.

This module contains the global configuration options and related functions for the library.

## Global variables

`CONNECTION`

  This `HostConnection` object, if set, is used as the default connection for all library operations if no other connection is set at a more specific level. The hierarchy of lookups is:

  - Any connection being used as a context manager (i.e. inside a with block)
  - The connection set on a resource using `Resource.set_connection()`
  - The global connection set here.

  If none of these are set, an exception will be raised when a request is attempted.

`RAISE_API_ERRORS`

  If set to True, the library will raise an exception if a request fails. If set to false, the library will not raise an exception and the application is responsible to check if the response was an error or not.

## Functions

`def set_error_model(raise_api_errors: bool = True)`

  Set the error model for the library.

  By default, operations (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE) will raise an exception if the response code from the host is >= 400. The exception object will contain the response so that it can be handled in the client code.

  Optionally, settings raise_api_errors to False will return the response and the client will be responsible for checking and handling any errors.

  ## Args

  `raise_api_errors`
    If set to true, the library will raise errors back to the application. If set to faise, errors will not be raised and the application must verify the responses itself.
