Yes, this collects the data on the client and sends it to the server with
all the rest of the client data.

This tells the server what to look for in the client data.

Correct.  It will display all client data.

Or, you can be a bit trickier in your client-local.cfg file.  For example:

dir:`find /backup/local/mq -type d 2>/dev/null; [ "$(uname -n | grep _02)"
= "" ] && find /var/mqm/log/*/active -type d 2>/dev/null`

This is untested, but should demonstrate the basic idea.  Play with it
until the string between the backticks runs correctly on every host you
want to include, and shows only the correct files for each host.
