Config
Thrown when startup cannot complete — a configuration file or URL cannot be loaded/parsed, or the command-line options fail to parse — and the process was started with exitOnMissingConfig = false (the embedded mode used by Agent.startAsyncAgent).
In standalone mode (exitOnMissingConfig = true) such a failure terminates the process via exitProcess instead. Embedders that host an Agent inside their own JVM should catch this exception so a transient remote-config fetch failure, a malformed config file, or an invalid command-line option does not kill the host application.
Parameters
message
a human-readable description of what failed to load or parse
cause
the underlying failure (e.g. a parse error, FileNotFoundException, or a JCommander ParameterException), if any
