Description Yuhui Jiang 2017-05-22 06:00:37 UTC
Description of problem: 
WALA add a new parameter(-configuration-path:<path to configuration file>) in v2.2.11.Because there exist 2 daemon process for WALA.
1. /usr/bin/python -u /usr/sbin/waagent -configuration-path:/root/waagent.conf -daemon
2. python -u /usr/sbin/waagent -run-exthandlers

1st one will invoke 2nd one.
For 1st one ,it's configuration file is customized,while 2nd one use default value("/etc/waagent.conf")

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
WALinuxAgent-2.2.11-upstream 

RHEL Version: 
RHEL-7.4/RHEL-6.9

How reproducible: 
100%

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Prepare a RHEL7.4 VM in Azure. Install WALA and enable it while booting
2. Copy /etc/waagent.conf to /root/waagent.conf
3. Modify /root/waagent with "Logs.Verbose=y"(For /etc/waagent.conf,Logs.Verbose=n)
4. Modify WALA service configuration file("/usr/lib/systemd/system/waagent.service") with "ExecStart=/usr/bin/python -u /usr/sbin/waagent -configuration-path:/root/waagent.conf -daemon"
5. Reload service :  #systemctl daemon-reload
6. rm /var/log/waagent.log -rf && systemctl restart waagent
7.vim /var/log/waagent.log


Actual results: 
After this log "Agent WALinuxAgent-2.2.11 launched with command 'python -u /usr/sbin/waagent -run-exthandlers'",there is no any verbose log
And For daemon process,like below:
 /usr/bin/python -u /usr/sbin/waagent -configuration-path:/root/waagent.conf -daemon
 python -u /usr/sbin/waagent -run-exthandlers

1st one with -configuration-path parameter,while 2nd one without.


Expected results: 
2nd daemon process should also with "-configuration-path" parameter
