#### Configuring the built-in MLAT Hub
An "MLAT Hub" is an aggregator of MLAT results from several sources. Since the container is capable of sending MLAT data to multiple ADSB aggregators (like adsb.lol/fi/one, etc), we built in a capability to:
- collect the MLAT results from all of these services
- ingest MLAT results from other containers (FlightAware, Radarbox, etc.)
- make the consolidated MLAT results available on a port in Beast or SBS (BaseStation) format
- create outbound connections using any supported format to send your Beast data wherever you want
Note - due to design limitations of `readsb`, the `tar1090` graphical interface will by default ONLY show MLAT results from the aggregators/MLAT sources that were defined with the `MLAT_NET_CONNECTOR` parameter. If you want to show any additional MLAT results (for example, those from `piaware`), you should add a separate `READSB_NET_CONNECTOR` for them. Adding these sources only to `MLATHUB_NET_CONNECTOR` will make the data available on the MLATHUB, but won't display them on your `tar1090` map.
Generally, there is little to configure, but there are a few parameters that you can set or change:
| Variable | Description | Default if omitted|
|----------|-------------|--------------------------------|
| `MLATHUB_SBS_OUT_PORT` | TCP port where the consolidated MLAT results will be available in SBS (BaseStation) format | `31003` |
| `MLATHUB_BEAST_IN_PORT` | TCP port you where you can send additional MLAT results to, in Beast format | `31004` |
| `MLATHUB_BEAST_OUT_PORT` | TCP port where consolidated MLAT results will be available in Beast format | `31005` |
| `MLATHUB_BEAST_REDUCE_OUT_PORT` | TCP port where consolidated MLAT results will be available in Beast format with reduced data rates | `31006` |
| `MLATHUB_NET_CONNECTOR` | List of semi-colon (`;`) separated IP or host, port, and protocols where MLATHUB will connect to ingest or send MLAT data. It follows the same syntax as described in the [`READSB_NET_CONNECTOR` syntax section](#alternate-configuration-method-with-readsb_net_connector) above | Unset |
| `MLATHUB_DISABLE` | If set to `true`, the MLATHUB will be disabled even if there are `mlat-client`s running in the container | Unset |
### Web Gui (`tar1090`) Configuration
The Container creates an interactive web interface displaying the aircraft, based on Wiedehopf's widely used [tar1090](https://github.com/wiedehopf/tar1090) software.

## Display of Metrix with Grafana and Prometheus/InfluxDB
When using the `:telegraf` tag, the image contains [Telegraf](https://docs.influxdata.com/telegraf/), which can be used to capture metrics from `ultrafeeder` if an output is enabled.
