Section titled “Config contexts”

Those can be attached to objects through tags, cluster or site attachments (but also directly). E.g. for the monitoring folder by default /vms is used, but if I tag a device in the NetBox with for example cmk:server it gets special config values assigned which change the folder to /servers.
