[[rpm-layout]] ==== Directory layout of RPM The RPM places config files, logs, and the data directory in the appropriate locations for an RPM-based system: [cols="> | conf | Environment variables including heap size, file descriptors. | /etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch d| | data | The location of the data files of each index / shard allocated on the node. Can hold multiple locations. | /var/lib/elasticsearch | path.data | logs | Log files location. | /var/log/elasticsearch | path.logs | plugins | Plugin files location. Each plugin will be contained in a subdirectory. | /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins | | repo | Shared file system repository locations. Can hold multiple locations.
