Why is the default config displayed in the UI?

[Aviem Zur <av...@gmail.com>]

Was wondering why the default config is displayed in the UI?
It is a little confusing when that's the first thing you see in the UI, and
only if you scroll down under it are the real config values.

I see, we indeed configure via ENV vars.
Perhaps I could create an issue to add an option to turn off displaying the
contents of the file?

It shows the default config because you haven't edited it. but it is the airflow.cfg in your AIRFLOW_HOME dir, not the default one shipped inside the airflow tree.

Are you configuring only by setting environment variables? If so that is why -- both ways are equally common. Some people edit airflow.cfg, others just set by env vars (and some do both!)
