If FS loads all files in autoload_configs/ in one go, then what is the

As an example of this, consider mod_xml_cdr. By default, module "mod_xml_cdr" is not loaded - it is commented out in modules.conf.xml. However, also by default, the config file for mod_xml_cdr (xml_cdr.conf.xml) is in the autoload_configs/ directory. Does this mean that the contents of xml_cdr.conf.xml get loaded into the main FS configuration even if mod_xml_cdr is not enabled in modules.conf.xml? Yes. You can actually see the xml in memory by using the "xml_locate" command at the FS command line:

xml_locate configuration configuration name xml_cdr.conf

or you can dump the whole xml config with this:

xml_locate root

Make sense? Anyway, the bottom line is that any XML file in autoload_configs/ will get loaded into the big XML configuration file that gets stored in memory, even if the corresponding module is not loaded from modules.conf.xml.
