#### Overview

This section lists parameters supported in the Ember+ Zabbix agent 2 plugin configuration file (ember.conf).

The Ember+ plugin is a loadable plugin and is available and fully described in the [Ember+ plugin repository](https://git.zabbix.com/projects/AP/repos/ember-plus/browse).

This plugin is currently only available to be built from the source (for both Unix and Windows).

Note that:

-   The default values reflect process defaults, not the values in the shipped configuration files.
-   Values support [environment variables](/manual/appendix/config/environment_variables);
-   Zabbix supports configuration files only in UTF-8 encoding without [BOM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark).
-   Comments starting with "\#" are only supported at the beginning of the line.
