Description

description

it would be useful if we had a dump mode, similar to validate that instead dumps bootstrap config or other information and then exits

it would be particularly useful for getting components for logging as currently you have to check the header file

im imagining it could work like


$ envoy --mode dump config
$ envoy --mode dump components

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a new mode dump that outputs bootstrap config or components like logging and exits. Look at existing mode validate for reference.
