config.toml - a list of all valid options//config in docs.chef.io

In Automate you configure the box by creating a config.toml and then running either chef-automate deploy /path/to/config.toml if first run, or chef-automate config patch path/to/config.toml if patching later.


In Chef Infra Server you configure a box by updating the /etc/opscode/chef-server.rb and then running chef-server-ctl reconfigure


With regards to the latter, all options for the chef-server.rb are available in the following locations

- https://docs.chef.io/server/config_rb_server/

- https://docs.chef.io/server/config_rb_server_optional_settings


However, with regards to Automate there is no such page containing all the valid and useful options for a config.toml file


This page should exist and should be listed on the docs.chef.io website within the "Chef Automate > Reference” section.


Including this page will enable all chef-automate users to better understand their config.toml and allow people to better serve their needs without having to reference multiple pages

    this would better assist users and reduce support requests since users would be able to self-help themselves when configuring or tuning automate.
