Currently the only setting that is supported is the number of threads to use to handle the network traffic. MaxScale will also accept the section name of `[gateway]` for global settings. This is for backward compatibility with versions prior to the naming of MaxScale. ### Threads To control the number of threads that poll for network traffic set the parameter threads to a number. It is recommended that you start with a single thread and add more as you find the performance is not satisfactory. MaxScale is implemented to be very thread efficient, so a small number of threads is usually adequate to support reasonably heavy workloads. Adding more threads may not improve performance and can consume resources needlessly. -# Valid options are: +\# Valid options are: -# threads= +\# threads= [MaxScale]
