Just adding here, that the new model (as it is currently defined) makes it mandatory to have unique resource type definition per server ; that is, the resource types definitions cannot vary from an agent to another.
Technically speaking, it doesn't have feedId.

When you say, "As far as I can tell, the plan isn't to have server side
configurations",  where is that coming from?   It's true that in the
past we had agent-side
config, but it has been a while now that we've planned on going to a
centralized config, to avoid unnecessary complexity and to minimize the
need to update
agents.  Anyway, as Mazz points out, the mechanism is already there to
serve up the files.  I just wanted to make sure there isn't a change in
plan, or a doc, that
I'm not aware of.
