Question for conf_path usage | NetApp | Page 1

I read about the new conf_path option in 24.05 and think about restructuring my config files. One question came to my mind. If I put a custom.yaml in the custom path, will it merge with the default config?

Example
conf_path: customconf:conf

Custom folder with only the following file
customconf └── zapi └── custom.yaml

Content of custom.yaml
objects: NetPort: netport.yaml

@grizzled ginkgo As per the conf path document mentioned here https://netapp.github.io/harvest/24.05/configure-templates/#conf-path, first template would be loaded from the given list of conf directories.

Here you have provided custom.yaml for NetPort object, so this custom template would be merged with default template for NetPort object.

In my example I did not change the NetPort template itself. I just want to add the default NetPort template to the configuration. Right now the custom.yaml resides next to the default.yaml in the default config path. Is it possible to just move the cusom.yaml to the customconf path?

I have tried locally where aggr.yaml and aggr_custom.yaml resides in conf directory and I have just moved custom.yaml in other directory. Things are working fine and both templates are merged as designed.

harvest % tree testa 
testa
└── zapi
    └── custom.yaml

2 directories, 1 file

harvest % cat testa/zapi/custom.yaml 

collector:          Zapi

objects:
  Aggregate:                   aggr_custom.yaml

harvest % tree conf/zapi/cdot/9.8.0 
conf/zapi/cdot/9.8.0
├── aggr.yaml
├── aggr_custom.yaml
