Benoit,

The /var/rudder/configuration-repository/techniques is a git repository, 
read by Rudder.
Did you first add the files to git and then commited it ?

git add 
/var/rudder/configuration-repository/techniques/applications//xymonServer/1.0/
git commit -m "Applying modificatiion to techniques"

And then update the Techniques in the web interface ?


For your question, yes it is possible to have debug logs, you need to 
update the file /opt/rudder/etc/logback.xml and replace
   <root level="info">
     <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
   </root>
by
   <root level="debug">
     <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
   </root>

Nicolas
