Gour Saha commented on SLIDER-166:
----------------------------------

A git patch file SLIDER-166.patch has been uploaded to fix this issue.

With this change the {{agent.conf}} attribute is being removed from the *appConfig.json* files shipped with the slider packages. Hence *agent.ini* will be supported by default. Appropriate documentation is being provided stating that users can add an {{agent.conf}} attribute in *appConfig.json* file pointing to a custom *agent.ini*. This custom *agent.ini* will override the default values.

> Currently, agent.ini file is explicitly provided by the users when creating application instance. The agent.ini file should be created per application instance as its possible for slider-agent instances for specific application instance to have unique configurations.
> For example, a user may want to debug agents at the level DEBUG for a specific application instances while not requiring other applications to also run with DEBUG level for agent logs.
> Proposal:
> * Slider will have a default agent.ini that gets automatically uploaded
> * Have folks provide overrides when creating an app
> * AM patches the default using overrides and then drops the .ini somewhere in the app instance specific directory (default could be in a well-known place)
> * The patched .ini is then handed off to all agent instances through YARN localized file support
