global() configuration object

The global configuration object permits to set global parameters. Note that each parameter can only be set once and cannot be re-set thereafter. If a parameter is set multiple times, the behaviour is unpredictable.

The following paramters can be set:

• action.reportSuspension - binary, default "on", v7.5.8+c
  If enabled ("on") action will log message under syslog.* when an action suspends or resume itself. This usually happens when there are problems connecting to backend systems. If disabled ("off"), these messages are not generated. These messages can be useful in detecting problems with backend systems. Most importantly, frequent suspension and resumption points to a problem area.
• workDirectory

• localHostname
