Visibility to the DCR settings pushed down to the machine

[JFBDO2022]

Prior DCR settings (or changes in the legacy agent syslog settings) would drop the .conf in /etc/rsyslog.d and in there you could see the facility and logging level choices being pushed down. Make adjustments to the settings in the portal and a few minutes later, could confirm the .conf file picked up the change.

I see the 10-azuremonitoragent-omfwd.conf getting dropped onto the box, whether from syslog DCR or AMA DCR and looks the same. Doesn't matter what DCR settings are changed, file doesn't get updated ever, doesn't reflect the change.

Is there some new place that we can view the settings were dropped/applied properly to the server like we could before? Can you update the documentation to reflect that?

Thanks.
