Configure Optimizely Agent

How to configure Optimizely Agent with a comprehensive list of available configuration properties.

By default, Optimizely Agent uses the configuration file in the current active directory. For example, ./config.yaml. You can override the default configuration by providing a YAML configuration file at runtime.

You can specify alternative configuration locations at runtime using an environment variable or command line flag:

OPTIMIZELY_CONFIG_FILENAME=newconfig.yaml make run

To use a PROXY server the following environment variables can be used:

Environment variableDescription
HTTP_PROXYHTTP URL of the proxy server to use for every request.
HTTPS_PROXYHTTPS URL of the proxy server to use for every request. It takes precedence over HTTP_PROXY for HTTPS requests.
NO_PROXYDefines that no proxy should be used.

The environment values may be either a complete URL or a host[:port], in which case the http scheme is assumed. The schemes http, https, and socks5 are supported. To read more about proxy configurations, view the Go documentation on net/http.
