# ValidateConfig

The `ValidateConfig` action detects and returns a list of configuration errors such as repeated or unused configuration keys and sections, unreferenced entries and so on.

NOTE: For the `ValidateConfig` action to validate a configuration section, IDOL Category Component must have previously read that configuration. In some cases, configuration might be read when a task is run, rather than when the component starts up. In these cases, `ValidateConfig` reports any unread sections of the configuration file as unused.

NOTE: This is a service status action that can be sent only by users that belong to an authorization role that allows the `ServiceStatus` standard role, or which enables the action explicitly. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.

## Example

    action=ValidateConfig

## Parameters

None.
