[TIP]
|
|
|
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you extract the zip or tarball packages, the `elasticsearch-n.n.n`
|
2019-08-28 13:48:41 -04:00
|
|
|
directory contains the {es} `config`, `data`, and `logs` directories.

|
|
|
We recommend moving these directories out of the {es} directory
|
|
|
|
|
so that there is no chance of deleting them when you upgrade {es}.
|

|
To specify the new locations, use the `ES_PATH_CONF` environment
|
|
|
|
|
variable and the `path.data` and `path.logs` settings. For more information,

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
