Bryan Call created TS-2218:
------------------------------
Summary: create a standard way of getting the plugin configuration
directory
Key: TS-2218
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2218
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Configuration, Plugins
Reporter: Bryan Call
Currently some plugins use TSPluginDirGet() (/usr/local/libexec/trafficserver)
and some have hard coded paths for getting the directory where the config files
are set.
I propose using sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/ (sysconfdir is defined in
config.layout and is /usr/local/etc by default) as the default base directory
for the plugin configuration. Under this directory people will have their
config file or a sub directory if there are a lot of config files for a plugin
(e.g. sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/regex_remap/)
There will be an API to get the plugin config directory called
TSPluginConfigDir() and this will by default pass back
sysconfdir/trafficserver/plugins/. All plugins will use this API to get the
configuration directory.
There will also be a records.config option to override the default plugin
config directory. This option will be called
proxy.config.plugin.plugin_config_dir. This option will be set to NULL by
default and the API will assume sysconfdir/trafficsever/plugins by default.
