c8y configuration send

Send configuration to a device via an operation

Synopsis​

Create a new operation to send configuration to an agent or device.

If you provide the reference to the configuration (via id or name), then the configuration's url and type will be automatically added to the operation.

You may also manually set the url and configurationType rather than looking up the configuration file in the configuration repository.
