Placing props.conf in monitoring app

[vijaysri]

Hi,

We always place props.conf in parsing app.

Today I saw a config where - props.conf is placed inside monitoring app.

The architecture here is UF --> HF --> Indexer

In all the cases props.conf is placed under parsing app, why only in one case it is placed under monitoring app?

It depends on the content of props.conf and what you call a "parsing app" compared to a "monitoring app".

Some properties, like EVENT_BREAKER, need to be on a UF so that props.conf file will be in the app deployed there.  Other properties need to be on indexers/HFs or on SHs and so will be in apps deployed in those locations.
