Sitelist files
The agent uses the sitelist.xml and sitelist.info files to decide which handler to communicate with.
Each time handler assignments and priorities are updated, these files are updated on the managed
system. Once these files are updated, the agent implements the new assignment or priority on the
next scheduled agent-server communication.
