3. Configuration

Configuration of EMT is very similar to MySQL and other INI-file based configuration applications, with one small extension for "named command instances", which are covered later. By default, configuration files are loaded in two parts: The first part is the main EMT configuration file located at ‘/etc/emt.cnf’. This file contains options for the base EMT programs such as emt_gather and emt_view. Plugin configuration files are loaded after the main configuration and can be placed in the ‘/etc/emt.d/’ directory.
