What config file do you put the ignore option into?

What syntax do you use to tell it to ignore the date/time data?
In the same config file as the 2 previous?

I would bet I need to get mosquitto running properly before I start
configuring MQTTSubscribe?
I installed mosquitto in the same Ubuntu 20 VM were WeeWX is running.
I loaded mosquito from the Ubuntu 20 deb repo with 'sudo apt install
mosquitto'
I used the example mosquitto.conf file
(/usr/share/doc/mosquitto/examples/mosquitto.conf) to create a basic
mosquitto.conf.
There is a README file in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d which says:
"Any files placed in this directory that have a .conf ending will be loaded
as
config files by the broker. Use this to make your local config."
I believe this means that /etc/mosquitto/conf.d is the correct place for
the mosquitto.conf file?
Right now, I'm trying to get mosquitto to autostart as a daemon. But it's
not starting.
When I use the command 'sudo update-rc.d mosquitto defaults' it creates a
bunch of files named K01mosquito in the /etc/rc.0...../etc/rc.6 directories.
I looked inside these files and it has the wrong location for
mosquitto.conf file.
See excerpt:
*start)*
* if init_is_upstart; then*
* exit 1*
* fi*
* log_daemon_msg "Starting network daemon:" "mosquitto"*
* if start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --background
--make-pidfile --pidfile ${PIDFILE} --exec ${DAEMON} -- -c
/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf ; then*
* log_end_msg 0*
* else*
* log_end_msg 1*
* fi*
* ;;*
Why did the K01mosquitto files get created with the wrong .conf file
location in them?
How do I fix that file location without manually editing all those
auto-created /etc/rc.x/K01mosquitto files?
Thanks,
Eric
