The Trigger plugin provides a method for calling external scripts when
clients are configured.
+Caching options
+---------------
+
+These options are specified in the **[caching]** section.
+
+ client_metadata
+ The following four caching modes are available for client
+ metadata:
+
+ * off: No caching of client metadata objects is performed. This
+ is the default.
+ * initial: Only initial metadata objects are cached. Initial
+ metadata objects are created only from the data in the
+ Metadata plugin, before additional groups from other plugins
+ are merged in.
+ * cautious: Final metadata objects are cached, but each client’s
+ cache is cleared at the start of each client run, immediately
+ after probe data is received. Cache is also cleared as in
+ aggressive mode. *on* is a synonym for cautious.
+ * aggressive: Final metadata objects are cached. Each plugin is
+ responsible for clearing cache when appropriate.
