Configuration

When the Agent runs, it stores a local copy of the FileFlows configuration (Flows, Libraries, Plugin settings etc) which is used for processing.

By default, this configuration is stored as an encrypted file on the system.

However, if there is an issue with this, you can disable the configuration by using the environmental variable:

FF_NO_ENCRYPT = 1

The configuration will be cleared whenever the Agent is restarted and by default a new random encryption key will be used so there is no way to view the contents of this file.

However, you can specify a custom encryption key to be used by using the environmental variable:

FF_ENCRYPT = my-custom-key-whatever-you-like

Both these variables will be read when the FileFlows Agent is started, so any changes will require the Agent to be restarted.
