Mesos Runtime Configuration
The Mesos master and agent can take a variety of configuration options
through command-line arguments or environment variables. A list of the
available options can be seen by running mesos-master --help
or
mesos-agent --help
. Each option can be set in two ways:
By passing it to the binary using
--option_name=value
, either specifying the value directly, or specifying a file in which the value resides (--option_name=file://path/to/file
). The path can be absolute or relative to the current working directory.By setting the environment variable
MESOS_OPTION_NAME
(the option name with aMESOS_
prefix added to it).
Configuration values are searched for first in the environment, then on the command-line.
Additionally, this documentation lists only a recent snapshot of the options in
Mesos. A definitive source for which flags your version of Mesos supports can be
found by running the binary with the flag --help
, for example mesos-master
--help
.
