[TIP]
|
|
|
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you extract the zip or tarball packages, the `elasticsearch-n.n.n`
|
2019-01-07 08:44:12 -05:00
|
|
|
directory contains the Elasticsearch `config`, `data`, `logs` and
|
2017-08-23 17:03:14 -04:00
|
|
|
`plugins` directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We recommend moving these directories out of the Elasticsearch directory
|
|
|
|
|
so that there is no chance of deleting them when you upgrade Elasticsearch.
|
|
|
|
|
To specify the new locations, use the `ES_PATH_CONF` environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable and the `path.data` and `path.logs` settings. For more information,
|
|
|
|
|
see <<important-settings,Important Elasticsearch configuration>>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The <<deb,Debian>> and <<rpm,RPM>> packages place these directories in the
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate place for each operating system. In production, we recommend
|
|
|
|
|
installing using the deb or rpm package.
