Description

Due the relatively slow frequency of the agent's run (5min), each level of additional relay will add worst case additional n x 5min processing time until a node's inventory is uploaded through the relays and finally processed on the master.

After preparations in #11257 this is a contribution of a perl and inotify based inventory daemon, which can be installed (or simply run after touching the disable-file) to forward the files received via WebDAV after they have hit the Filesystem.

A generic propagation time for inventories with 1 level of relays is on average below 2 seconds (if network bandwith is not limiting it).
