The configuration file to be used can also be specified using the --config <PATH> command line parameter. It must point to a YAML or JSON file. Valid file extensions are .json, .yaml and .yml
The following parameters can be configured:
# wild card patterns to select ad configuration files
# if relative paths are specified, then they are relative to this configuration file
ad_files:
- "my_ads/**/ad_*.json"
- "my_ads/**/ad_*.yml"
- "my_ads/**/ad_*.yaml"
# default values for ads, can be overwritten in each ad configuration file
