MySQL Router 8.0 / Configuration / Configuration Options
Configuration file options and command-line options serve different purposes and are documented in separate locations.
Whenbootstrapping, the generated configuration file's settings depend on the bootstrap options passed intomysqlrouter. For example, passing in--conf-use-sockets enables socket connections by definingsocket for each route in the generated configuration file. Or,--directory adds all generated files and subdirectories to a single directory and adjusts the generated configuration file values accordingly.
