This PR remove the configuration to be exposed via the debug logging statements. We can receive the same information by running the `inspect` subcommand this require access to the local machine and the necessary privileges to read the files. * Changelog * Add PR number, run make check Co-authored-by: michel-laterman <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit c3925fc)
