flume.conf location in Cloudera

I installed Cloudera Manager (4.5.0) on a node.

I want to dynamically change the flume agent, but I can not find where is located the file and related flume.conf.

In /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.5.0-1.cdh4.5.0.p0.30/etc/flume-ng/conf.empty there is this file, but it is empty and even if I change it will not be read.

Use the -f switch in your flume agent start command to specifically point at a flume.conf file. This is also helpfull/mandatory if you plan to run multiple agents on 1 host

bin/flume-ng agent -n agent1 -c ./conf/ -f conf/flume.conf

Right next to it, in my CDH5 distro, is /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/etc/flume-ng/conf.dist/ which contains the template and real config file.
