Yes, I've added those two paths to the list. So we now have: - /usr/local/etc/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins.ini - /usr/local/etc/monitoring-plugins.ini - /etc/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins.ini - /etc/monitoring-plugins.ini (Plus the old locations supported for compatibility.) > And the most popular extension in unix world for config files is .conf > after that its .cfg and .ini is least popular.
