Hi Paul

Actually, as I understand it, when a client checks in, it requests its
settings from the Xymon server which reads that file and sends the correct
block based on the client's OS, or CLASS etc.

Then, on a client's next report in, the client uses the new settings.

You can watch this happen by making a change to the client-local.cfg on the
server and then running this on a client:

watch cat ~xymon/client/tmp/logfetch.*.cfg

Within a few minutes (once the client checks in), this file will contain the
new settings.

So, when changes are made to client-local.cfg the changes may take up to ten
minutes to propagate - assuming default 5 minute report cycle.
