A centralized monitor system is really a nice thing to have but it could be also a nice feature to be able to get files from clients just like the client could get files in the etc directory of hobbit server...
Writing the database and weblogic clients I've put in options to include other configuration files in the main config file for those clients. This was a feature needed by my database administrator and sap administrator group (will also be used by my weblogic administrators) so that each of them can edit their warning/alert levels without having to go through a big config file or affecting others database warning/alert level. For now i'm getting the file manually but it could be nice if the server could get files from the clients (limited for example to the client/etc directory for security reason) just like the client do with the server...
