done, you can start the Scrutiny server
## Customize InfluxDB Admin Username & Password
The full set of InfluxDB configuration options are available
in [code](https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny/blob/master/webapp/backend/pkg/config/config.go?rgh-link-date=2023-01-19T16%3A23%3A40Z#L49-L51)
.
During first startup Scrutiny will connect to the unprotected InfluxDB server, start the setup process (via API) using a
username and password of `admin`:`password12345` and then create an API token of `scrutiny-default-admin-token`.
After that's complete, it will use the api token for all subsequent communication with InfluxDB.
You can configure the values for the Admin username, password and token using the config file, or env variables:
#### Config File Example
```yaml
web:
influxdb:
token: 'my-custom-token'
init_username: 'my-custom-username'
init_password: 'my-custom-password'
```
#### Environmental Variables Example
`SCRUTINY_WEB_INFLUXDB_TOKEN` , `SCRUTINY_WEB_INFLUXDB_INIT_USERNAME` and `SCRUTINY_WEB_INFLUXDB_INIT_PASSWORD`
It's safe to change the InfluxDB Admin username/password after setup has completed, only the API token is used for
subsequent communication with InfluxDB.
