Configuring the System is empty

Problem with: Configuring the System, source file

The page is empty, and I am not sure what is supposed to be there. My suggestion would be to just cleanup the page. CC @MarkEWaite

Discussed in the Docs office hours and recommended that the page be retained and used as an introduction to the alternatives available to a user to configure Jenkins. A few introductory paragraphs that might introduce:

• Jenkins can be configured at many levels and with many different techniques

• Configuration layers might include

  • Jenkins master configuration
  • Jenkins agent configuration (link to node configuration)
  • Jenkins security configuration (link to authorization and authentication)

• Configuration pages are frequently created and extended by plugins

• Configuration techniques might include:

  • Configuration from the UI
  • Configuration from system level groovy scripts
  • Configuration from REST API calls
  • Configuration from Jenkins command line interface (CLI)
  • Configuration as code plugin
  • Job DSL plugin to define job configurations

From context (neighboring pages that weren't recently added), it looks like this chapter is structured like the "Manage Jenkins" page, and discusses each entry there in its own subsection: Configure Tools, Configure Security (until yesterday), Manage Plugins, the Jenkins CLI, Managing Nodes, etc.

So your plan is probably useful, but goes against the established structure of the chapter.

Or it's time to completely abandon the previous approach, newly added pages basically don't adhere to this structure anyway.
