[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#639497: check-mk-agent-logwatch: /etc/check_mk/logwatch.state should be moved to /var/

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Package: check-mk-agent-logwatch
Version: 1.1.10-1
Severity: important


Logwatch checks the logs and writes updates to /etc/check_mk/logwatch.state each
time check_mk_agent is run.

This results in useless commits in etckeeper (package which git controls /etc)
and metch (/etc configuration monitor).

logwatch.state is not configuration file (based on definition DP 10.7.1)

Please move logwatch.state somewhere under /var/lib or /var/cache.

Apart from that awesome work for packaging check-mk, makes monitoring much
easier. =)

Regards,

Dima.
