Description

Under normal circumstances, the management agent uses a URL it obtained via the Discovery service to communicate with the server (where the URL is the base for a series or REST based calls). If the URL uses the 'file' protocol, we try to map these requests to the local filesystem:

Deployments map to a folder structure that is constructed as follows:
DISCOVERY_URL/deployment/TARGET_ID/versions should be an existing folder, containing files that are deployment packages and that are named after their versions (with no extension), so '1.0.0', '2.0.0', etc. The deployment package metadata must match the folder structure as well.

Synchronizing the local audit log(s) to the server is not supported, as it would make little sense.

Subscribing to new distributions is not supported either, since that does not make sense without a real server.
