Constant error: "datadog.api: No agent or invalid configuration file found"

[apenney]

I'm getting a lot of errors like:

2019-07-03 16:20:12,233 [INFO:140620589405376:26627] datadog.api: No agent or invalid configuration file found

After digging in a bit I realized in datadog/util/config.py we have:

    path = os.path.join('/etc/dd-agent', DATADOG_CONF)
    if os.path.exists(path):
        return path
    raise PathNotFound(path)

However, on my machines (AWS Linux 2):

# ls -lad /etc/datadog-agent/
drwxr-xr-x 4 dd-agent dd-agent 187 Jun 10 19:04 /etc/datadog-agent/

Does it make sense to check for both paths, change this, etc? Something definitely feels wrong here.

Thanks for reporting this @apenney, we'll be looking into this and get back to you, thanks for the details.

We've taken care of this in #428 (downgrade to warning and add an option hostname_from_config=False) to turn this off completely - it will be available in the next release, and we aim to deprecate this feature in the future.

Closing this issue now, see @dabcoder's comment above on how to get rid of these errors.
