I suggest the following, which I've seen used to good effect in

projects:

--dump-config FILE Instruct the broker to write it's configuration to
FILE (default none)

This would write a file in the known qpid-config file format with the
"live" values of config items like port or ssl-port, or other computed
config values.

When config can be picked up from multiple sources, such a tool is
useful to be sure what actually got configured. It uses existing known
file formats. It clearly scopes the use of the tool to checking initial
configuration, it doesn't want to become a replacement for management.

I like that!


sounds good, as long as the ssl port is actually chosen by the time we
have to dump this out. i'll have to look at that.

no intention of making this a management-replacement, not even 'lite'.
write-only by the brokers.

i would still see this going to a standard place ,
i.e. /var/lib/qpid/PID -- using the pid just to prevent collisions.

and then remove file on healthy shutdown.


I think this is a useful feature for debugging etc. but I don't think it
should be done by default. If the user wants this let them specify where
they want it - as we do with log files.
