about ncs.conf

[previousqna]

Hi expert,

My customer is using system installed NSO.

I have discovered two ncs.conf files in NSO.

/opt/ncs/ncs-x.x.x/etc/ncs/ncs.conf

/etc/ncs/ncs.conf

In my understanding system installed NSO is using /etc/ncs/ncs.conf.

And /opt/ncs/ncs-x.x.x/etc/ncs/ncs.conf is the configuration file which will be referred if user is doing local installation.

Is my understanding correct?

Any comment would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

In a system installation the path will be :

/opt/ncs/ncs.conf

The one in /etc/ncs is typically for local installations.

Yes, that's basically it - i.e. the /opt/ncs/ncs-x.x.x/etc/ncs/ncs.conf

file is not used in a system install - it could be removed by the installer but isn't, maybe it should be, to avoid confusion.

In general the system install follows the standard Linux/Unix conventions of how applications are installed - all configuration files are under /etc, all state and log files under /var, and so on.

No, that's not correct at least for a system install using the default directories, see my previous message. I guess you could theoretically pass '--config-dir /opt/ncs' to the installer, but that would be seriously confusing...
