Comment 1 for bug 1449998

Hi,

For 1, there is already mentioned in documentation that where default config files can be. Check this
https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-toolkit/2.2/configuration_files.html#read-order

For 2, Unable to reproduce the error. Can you try to check with later version 2.2.14? Also is it possible for you to provide test case?
