release notes. The configuration guide also gives an example of how the
path parameters are resolved.

@ -394,6 +394,14 @@ Configure the directory where module configurations are stored. Path arguments
are resolved relative to this directory. This directory should be used to store
module specific configurations e.g. dbfwfilter rule files.
Any configuration parameter that is not an absolute path will be interpreted as
a relative path. The relative paths use the module configuration directory as
the working directory.
For example, the configuration parameter `file=my_file.txt` would be interpreted
as `/etc/maxscale.cnf.d/my_file.txt` whereas `file=/home/user/my_file.txt` would
be interpreted as `/home/user/my_file.txt`.
```
module_configdir=/var/lib/maxscale/
