Implement Local Configuration

You can control whether local configuration is allowed with the following parameter:

AllowLocalConfig

Instructs the Agent Configuration Object on the Policy Server to read the local configuration file to obtain configuration parameters for the agent. This parameter is used only in Agent Configuration Objects.

Add multiple values for this parameter in the Agent Configuration Object to control which parameters can be changed in a local configuration file. When multiple values are set for this parameter, they are processed in the following order:

• If yes is used, all parameters can be set locally.
• No takes precedence over a list of parameters. No also overrides yes when both values are set together. This option lets you quickly disable local configuration entirely without having to remove any of the other configuration parameters from the Agent Configuration Object.

Default: No (local configuration prohibited).

Example: No, EnableAuditing, EnableMonitoring (all local configuration prohibited).

Example: No, Yes (all local configuration prohibited).

Example: EnableAuditing, EnableMonitoring (allows local control of the only the two previous parameters).
