hi @sjaitly,

You can get app.conf attrbutes using rest command, search this:

| rest /services/apps/local 
| table label version author title description

Hi @manjunathmeti,
Thanks for this solution but the issue is that I'm fetching this data from a diag file
and not from internal logs 
So, I don't think rest command would work.
