The fingerprint module uses features to make configuration dumps for Drupal, a bit like the crash report with all the settings that you can get from most desktop software. But fingerprint is more than that: it exports all the settings in XML which makes it easier to read and search your sites' configurations. The tool is not for importing or making backups, but it gives you the ability to search similarities and differences between Drupal site. Amongst others you'll be able to use it to:
- Find bugs (e.g. compare site for similarities that have the same bug)
- Compare site development patterns (when you make regular fingerprints during the development of a site) to determine best practices
- Make a fingerprint that you can compare future fingerprints with, so you can see if and what has changed on your site.
By default it's configured to send fingerprints to fingerprint.modulecraft.com. A free public fingerprint server for the community of which the public functionality is and will remain free for all to use (e.g. fingerprint uploading for bug tracking, or just sharing your configuration with the community).
Every fingerprint you send to the server will be public, so only use it for testing!
