title: Why can't I change log location for RabbitMQ's tracing plugin?
body: <p>I'm on Ubuntu and attempting to use <code>RabbitMQ</code> with the <code>rabbitmq_management</code> and <code>rabbitmq_tracing</code> plugins in order to log my queues. This is actually working fine. </p>
  
  <p>My issue lies with the fact that I want my logs to be somewhere other than the default location assigned in the <code>rabbitmq_tracing</code> plugin (in particular, I want it in my github repo). </p>
  
  <p>No matter what I do, I simply cannot get it to change that assigned directory. I've even deleted the tracing plugin and enabled it only after having already change the <code>.ez</code> config file (turning on/off <code>rabbitmq</code> and my PC a few times in the process), but it was to no avail.</p>

  <p>Of interest:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>There are two configuration options:</p>
    
    <p>"directory". This controls where the log files go. It defaults to "/var/tmp/rabbitmq-tracing".
        "username". The name of a user as which to create the tracing queues and bindings.</p>
    
    <p>A complete configuration might look like:</p>
    
    <p>[{rabbitmq_tracing, [{directory, "/my/log/file/location"},
                         {username,  "guest"}]}].</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Mine looks more or less the same.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help you can give.</p>
