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 via an environment variable or command line flag:

OPTIMIZELY_CONFIG_FILENAME=newconfig.yaml make run

📘

Note

You must set up the Advanced Audience Targeting integration enabled to use

  • OPTIMIZELY_CLIENT_ODP_DISABLE
  • OPTIMIZELY_CLIENT_ODP_EVENTSREQUESTTIMEOUT
  • OPTIMIZELY_CLIENT_ODP_EVENTSFLUSHINTERVAL
  • OPTIMIZELY_CLIENT_ODP_SEGMENTSREQUESTTIMEOUT
  • OPTIMIZELY_CLIENT_ODP_SEGMENTSCACHE

The Advanced Audience Targeting integration is currently in beta. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more information or register now on Optimizely.com.

More information about configuring Agent can be found in the Advanced Configuration Notes.

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.
