[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-2573) flume-ng --conf parameter is not
used when starting a flume agent
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2573?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15406627#comment-15406627 ]
Bessenyei Balázs Donát commented on FLUME-2573:
-----------------------------------------------
There has been no action on this ticket in the last few weeks, I suggest marking this ticket as resolved ("Not a bug").
(Reason: this ticket blocks release of Flume 1.7.0 and it doesn't seem to be a bug.)
Are there any objections to marking the ticket as resolved?

> flume-ng script accepts the parameter [conf|https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/bin/flume-ng#L183] to pass the directory which stores the configuration files and adds it to the FLUME_CLASSPATH. But [org.apache.flume.node.Application|https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/flume-ng-node/src/main/java/org/apache/flume/node/Application.java#L302] expects configuration files passed to have an absolute path. So even if user passes `conf` and `conf-file` option, `application` looks for the configuration file in the directory from which it is executed. It would be good to take the `conf` value into consideration so that users can place the config files anywhere.
> Currently big-top init.d script joins the [`conf` and `conf-file` values|(https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/bin/flume-ng#L183] when calling flume-ng. The same can be done in the ` flume-ng ` script. Alternatively the `conf ` parameter can be read in ` application ` and concatenated in the code. The latter is a cleaner approach but will have impact on ` big-top `.
