[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#502080: nagios3-common: please write debug output under /var/log

[Ferenc Wagner]

Package: nagios3-common
Version: 3.0.3-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

Currently debug output is sent to  /var/lib/nagios3/nagios.debug, but
in my opinion it should be sent to /var/log/nagios3/nagios.debug
instead.  So why not:

--- nagios.cfg.orig	2008-10-13 14:31:17.830847094 +0200
+++ nagios.cfg	2008-10-13 14:31:29.006859707 +0200
@@ -1276,7 +1276,7 @@
 # DEBUG FILE
 # This option determines where Nagios should write debugging information.
 
-debug_file=/var/lib/nagios3/nagios.debug
+debug_file=/var/log/nagios3/nagios.debug
 
 
 
Thanks,
Feri.
