atop configuration file location on CentOS 7.x

Solution 1:

In centos 7x, see

 /etc/sysconfig/atop

Solution 2:

according to the man page, in the FILES section:

/etc/atoprc
Configuration file containing system-wide default values.

So I guess you should look there. You also have a ~/.atoprc file with your personal preferences.

Maybe interesting to note, the /etc/atoprc file is not automatically created. If you install atop from EPEL repo, it does not add the atoprc manpage either.
