Legacy configuration snapshot

Hi guys

my thin-edge.io does have a Configurations called

Legacy configuration snapshot

Which data/files are collected if you press the Button Get snapshot from device?

To be honest, The “Legacy configuration snapshot” refers to this from the Cumulocity Fragment Library but isn’t so useful in the thin-edge.io context.

There is a brief mention of this in the thin-edge.io docs, where it says:

The Cumulocity legacy configuration operations (e.g. non file-type operations) will be automatically given the “default” type. This will enable you to configure the file location as you would with any other configuration file.

So you could add an entry to the tedge-configuration-plugin.toml, using the “default” type, then you can request the configuration from it like below:

file: /etc/tedge/plugins/tedge-configuration-plugin.toml

[[files]]
type = "default"
path = "/etc/tedge/plugins/tedge-configuration-plugin.toml"

But again, this isn’t very useful for users, and is more of a historical thing, that we’ll check on how to not show this option to uses (at least in the thin-edge.io context).
