Configure Optimizely Agent

This topic gives an overview of how to configure Optimizely Agent and includes a comprehensive list of available configuration properties.

By default Optimizely Agent uses the configuration file in the current active directory, e.g., ./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=config.yaml make run

Below is a comprehensive list of available configuration properties.
