Returned Values

Returns a non-nullable LogCollectorConfiguration object. Identity fields include id and name. Content fields include yaml (nullable — the active YAML configuration), draft (nullable — a saved draft not yet deployed), and yamlCharactersCount (character count of the active YAML). Version and modification fields include version, modifiedAt, modifiedBy, and draftModifiedAt (nullable — when the draft was last modified). Operational fields include instances (the number of Log Collector instances using this configuration), description (nullable), and isTestRunning (whether a configuration test run is currently in progress). The table below lists all fields:
