Please see our [Configuration document](CONFIGURE.md) for details on how to configure agents. +The 'conf' directory in the installation root contains all configuration files. + +The files conf/minifi.properties, conf/minifi-log.properties and conf/minifi-uid.properties contain key-value pair configuration settings; +these are the default settings supplied by the latest MiNiFi version.
