We are accepting the idea of adding log capabilities to Integrated File agent and considering it future releases. we can revisit this once we see the traction from other customers and partners (via Voting or Comments). Thank you for your patience and co-operation.
Thanks,

We are looking for more detail as to what exactly was changed. Just telling us that the configuration was updated is insufficient. Thanks.
Hi Brian,
After reviewing this internally with development, we have some follow-up questions to gather more details.
At runtime, File Agent(FA) monitors its config file. If the file was touched or updated, FA logs “Configuration file is modified”, verifies the new config and reloads it. FA is not aware of what has been modified. When the config file is changed while FA is stopped, there is no such log message, obviously.
One option could be to enhance FA to dump the (new) config every time it is loaded, but this could flood the FA logs, especially with large configurations.
But before going down that option we would like to understand if you are just looking for details of the update? In which case the Stats message could include a sub-object and identifier, e.g Rule plus name or number to identify it?
Can you please share more details on the observation above? Thanks and appreciate your inputs.
Regards,
Product Management
