Dear community

#### What are trying to achieve? Please describe in detail.

I am trying to work with upload text configuration from an MQTT device.

As suggested on our guide [Cumulocity documentation](https://cumulocity.com/guides/reference/device-management-library/#upload-current-text-configuration) I have created a new custom template to manage the c8y\_SendConfiguration

published 11,100,c8y\_SendConfiguration,deviceId on topic s/ut/myTemplate

once I click on “get configuration from my device” in the configuration TAB, I do not get any request on topic s/dt or s/ds

which is the topic I need to subscribe to receive the SendConfiguration command just created?

thanks

Mauro

Hi Mauro,

have a look here: [Cumulocity IoT Tips and Tricks - MQTT cheat sheet](https://community.cumulocity.com/t/cumulocity-iot-tips-and-tricks-mqtt-cheat-sheet/7573)  
The topic you need to subscribe is “s/dc/myTemplate” if “myTemplate” is your template id.

Btw. event it is suggested to upload the configuration on request to C8Y you can much easier update the text-based configuration using the static template 113,“configProp1=val1\nprop2=val2\n…” on “s/us” topic especially if the configuration it not very big and only uploaded & updated on agent (re)start.
