Configuration file of the Universal Profiling Agent
editConfiguration file of the Universal Profiling Agent
editThe Universal Profiling Agent can be configured using a configuration file. Specify the path to the configuration file using the CLI argument -config.
The default path for the configuration file is /etc/Elastic/universal-profiling/pf-host-agent.conf.
The expected format of the configuration file is a plaintext file, where each line holds one option.
Example:
project-id: 73 secret-token: abc123 collection-agent: example.com:443
Command line arguments to the Universal Profiling Agent take precedence over environment variables, and environment variables take precedence over the configuration file.
