bash script to restart the service if dead and write a log into debug.log

Question

I have a script (copied from another blog) to restart the service when it's dead as below.

#!/bin/bash
 
SERVICE="sshd"
STATUS="$(systemctl is-active $SERVICE)"
 
if [ "$STATUS" != "active" ]; then
    echo "Service $SERVICE is not running"
    systemctl restart $SERVICE
    echo "Service $SERVICE has been restarted"
    # Send notification here
else
    echo "Service $SERVICE is running"
fi

Is it possible to add a function to write a log (i.g. Service $SERVICE has been restarted) into debug.log that is located under /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/ ?

Please help.
