Edit cluster-wide configuration properties.

This command opens a text editor to modify the cluster’s configuration.

Cluster properties are redpanda settings which apply to all nodes in the cluster. These are separate to node properties, which are set with `rpk redpanda config`.

Modified values are written back when the file is saved and the editor is closed. Properties which are deleted are reset to their default values.

By default, low level tunables are excluded: use the `--all` flag to edit all properties including these tunables.

## [](#usage)Usage
