<p class="callout warning">The default path of “data\_dir” is /var/spool/pandora/data\_in , if this does not exist in the machine that is running the plugin will give error, if this is the case, you must change the path with the parameter “--data\_dir” to choose another path where the XML that will be sent later will be created.</p>
