Comment:

 Most Metrics' products, like Onionoo, Exonerator, and Web don't even have
 the single file as configuration option (cf. comment:1 overview).

 It seems we all agree on the goal to have one file that configures each
 product's operational options.

 Both Bot and CollecTor are at that stage.  Onionoo, Exonerator, and Web
 need to be 'pushed' to that level of configuration, which will be more
 work in making the various settings accessible in one configuration file.
 AfaIk, simple Java properties suffice,  which could come in either
 properties layout or simple XML; and could be either implemented in plain
 Java or using commons configuration.

 The focus is the operational advantage, which will consist in having the
 'single point of configuration' and we should just make sure to choose the
 same kind of implementation approach for Onionoo, Exonerator, and Web; Bot
 and CollecTor work as they are.  Implementing the configuration choice for
 these two is a secondary (more long-term) issue, because both work fine as
 they are.

 Another question is what all should be configurable?  I.e., this ticket
 should be also used for checking what values, e.g., working directories,
 base URLs etc., ought to be configurable and are maybe are not yet.
