Description

The web console contains support for arbitrary configuration printer plugins. The plugins are meant to collect the current state of the installation and provide a combined view. The results from the different printers can be retrieved in different formats including a zip. Especially this zip makes offline checking of problems and analyzing much easier as it contains all relevant information (and additional plugins can easiliy be deployed)

While this feature is very useful the concept of having configuration printers is not really tied to the web console. Therefore we should create a new module which just has the support for such printers but is not tied to the web console.
