Agent-level filesystem

Files stored on disk on an agent can be synced into Foundry using the filesystem source type.

This source type can be used to sync data from a Network File System ↗ (NFS) or Network-attached storage ↗ (NAS) to Foundry, by mounting the NFS or NAS on the agent host and configuring the root directory appropriately.
