+1000, introducing a new configuration file for mesos master and slave can help end user take the configuration file as the source of all flags.
The OpenStack is also using same way to manage all of the flags, it is putting all flags into a configuration file and the configuration file including all flag examples. Most of the flags are disabled by default and the end user can just enable those flags based on his requirement. Also the flags in the configuration file can be classified to different groups for a better management, and mesos can also follow this to classify those flags to different groups, such as ACL, Cluster, framework etc. On Mon, Nov 23, 2015 at 9:08 PM, Alexander Rojas <alexan...@mesosphere.io> wrote: > Hey guys, > > Over the time I’ve been involved in Mesos I’ve seen that we went from a > handful of flags to around 42 supported flags in the master.
