postBootstrapFile	string		Path to the file used for a bootstrapping response data
bootstrapProvisioningFile	string		Path to the file that stores the provisioning information from a bootstrapping response
maxChunkSize	int	46080	Maximum chunk size of the request data in bytes
provisioningFile	string	provisioning.json	Path to the provisioning file, if Bosch IoT Device Management is in use
Remote connectivity
address	string	mqtts://mqtt.bosch-iot-hub.com:8883	Address of the MQTT endpoint that the suite bootstrapping will connect for the remote communication, the format is: `scheme://host:port`

Example

The minimal required configuration to connect the publicly available Eclipse Hono sandbox and request automatic provisioning.

{
    "address": "hono.eclipseprojects.io:1883",
    "tenantId": "org.eclipse.kanto",
    "deviceId": "org.eclipse.kanto:exampleDevice",
    "authId": "org.eclipse.kanto_example",
    "password": "secret",
    "logFile": "/var/log/suite-bootstrapping/suite-bootstrapping.log"
}

Template

The configuration can be further adjusted according to the use case. The following template illustrates all possible properties with their default values.

Be aware that some combinations may be incompatible
