Please, use sub dirs. That will be a default for packages, and you would like to support them as well out of the box (source compile shouldn't happen these days if there are well maintained packages). > > Or would be prefer a different file extension (such as ".cfg" or > ".conf")? *.cfg reminds users of native nagios/icinga 1.x object config *.conf is a common default for apache, and also icinga 2 is the format real ini-parsable? then name it like so. icinga web 2 also uses ini files, and they preserve that suffix. kind regards, michael -- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich [email protected] || icinga open source monitoring https://twitter.com/dnsmichi || lead core developer [email protected] || https://www.icinga.org/team irc.freenode.net/icinga || dnsmichi
