The configuration engine daemon is a background process that serves several purposes. It can execute the main configuration on a regular schedule, it can accept requests from other hosts to execute the main configuration immediately, and it can transfer files to other hosts that request a copy from this server with a Copy Files action.

The daemon has its own separate configuration file, with a similar structure of actions and classes to the main configuration. If the configuration is empty, you should start by creating a Configuration daemon options action that defines commands run on schedule and when requested by other hosts. Other action types can also be added to restrict access to copied files to certain hosts.

At the bottom of the page is a button to start the daemon (if it is not currently running), or stop it (if it is running).
