DYNAMIC VEHICLE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

A method for dynamically managing data changes to a vehicle health monitoring system (VHM) by a datacenter using an external agent is provided. The external agent is operational on, or in communication with, a vehicle. One of updating or modifying a vehicle configuration file is performed to add or delete vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file by the external agent. A dummy file is created on a disk by the external agent. The dummy file provides a signal to the datacenter that the vehicle information on the vehicle configuration file has changed. The disk is polled periodically by the datacenter to identify a presence of the dummy file. Responsive to identifying the presence of the dummy file, the configuration file is read into VHM memory by the datacenter.
