dhconfig properties

The properties (or property) configuration data type of the dhconfig tool works with properties files stored in the system. properties also handles other types of configuration files, such as status-dashboard-defaults.json.

As with other dhconfig configuration data types, the --help argument provides detailed information on the available actions and arguments, as well as usage examples. Use --help whenever you need more information about the available options. For example, if you want information about the import action, you can run:

...followed by a description of all of the subcommand's arguments and some usage examples.

Due to the number of available options and combinations, and the robust in-tool documentation via --help, an exhaustive list of all possible commands is not provided here. Instead, we will elaborate on some of the more complex arguments below, and then give some usage examples. We recommend that you use the --help argument as needed for more information.
