Hi Jon,

these settings belong to arriving messages management. When agents delivery 
messages to the manager, Remoted decrypts, decompress and checks the 
counter from every message.

OSSEC saves the counters on files at /var/ossec/queue/rids in order to 
reload them when the manager is restarted, but it doesn't do it for every 
message, but each "*recv_counter_flush*". So, by default, OSSEC saves the 
counters every 128 messages.

The "*comp_average_printout*" setting is used to print statistics about 
compression on the OSSEC log, so every 19.999 messages OSSEC will print the 
total size of compressed and uncompressed data, as well as compression rate.

Hope it helps.
Victor.
