[jira] [Commented] (TS-2218) create a standard way of getting the plugin configuration directory

["Leif Hedstrom (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2218?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13912062#comment-13912062 ] 

Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-2218:
-----------------------------------

So, this already exists, sort of, with TSConfigDirGet(). Do we still want to create an additional configuration area as proposed here ? In either case, I think TSConfigDirGet() should be retained.

[~bcall] What do you think? I'm leaning towards just using TSConfigDirGet(), which gives the same config directory as the rest of ATS.

> Currently some plugins use TSPluginDirGet() (/usr/local/libexec/trafficserver) and some have hard coded paths for getting the directory where the config files are set.
> I propose using sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/ (sysconfdir is defined in config.layout and is /usr/local/etc by default) as the default base directory for the plugin configuration.  Under this directory people will have their config file or a sub directory if there are a lot of config files for a plugin (e.g. sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/regex_remap/)
> There will be an API to get the plugin config directory called TSPluginConfigDir() and this will by default pass back sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/.  All plugins will use this API to get the configuration directory.
> There will also be a records.config option to override the default plugin config directory.  This option will be called proxy.config.plugin.plugin_config_dir.  This option will be set to NULL by default and the API will assume sysconfdir/trafficsever/plugins by default.
