You can see the supported CLI configs here - https://docs.pinot.apache.org/operators/cli#start-controller

03/31/2022, 9:00 AMwhat about pinot.server.instance.id property?

03/31/2022, 9:04 AMThat is not possible I think. You will have to use config file for that.
Can I understand why do you want to avoid a config file? Is it due to limited access to environment, security reasons or something else?
