Does a human ever set this data?  If not, there's a (weak) convetion of
putting the file in /var/run.

There are two sets of configuration data: the usual server and logging settings, and the flags which control which notifications are active.

Server settings do not require changes while the daemon is running.

Notification flags can be set from the SNMP side, and as such do require updating from the program itself.
