# Netdata Agent Configuration
> **Info**
>
> Netdata Cloud lets you configure Agents on the fly. Check the [Dynamic Configuration Manager](/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/dynamic-configuration.md) documentation for details.
The main Netdata Agent configuration is `netdata.conf`.
## The Netdata config directory
On most Linux systems, the **Netdata config
directory** will be `/etc/netdata/`. The config directory contains several configuration files with the `.conf` extension, a
few directories, and a shell script named `edit-config`.
> Some operating systems will use `/opt/netdata/etc/netdata/` as the config directory. If you're not sure where yours
> is, navigate to `http://NODE:19999/netdata.conf` in your browser, replacing `NODE` with the IP address or hostname of
> your node, and find the `# config directory =` setting. The value listed is the config directory for your system.
All of Netdata's documentation assumes that your config directory is at `/etc/netdata`, and that you're running any scripts from inside that directory.
## Edit a configuration file using `edit-config`
We recommend the use of the `edit-config` script for configuration changes.
It exists inside your config directory (read above) and helps manage and safely edit configuration files.
To edit `netdata.conf`, run this on your terminal:
```bash
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
```
Your editor will open.
## downloading `netdata.conf`
The running version of `netdata.conf` can be downloaded from a running Netdata Agent, at this URL:
```url
http://agent-ip:19999/netdata.conf
```
You can save and use this version, using these commands:
```bash
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
curl -ksSLo /tmp/netdata.conf.new http://localhost:19999/netdata.conf && sudo mv -i /tmp/netdata.conf.new netdata.conf
```
