=== `path.data` and `path.logs`
|
|
|
|
If you are using the `.zip` or `.tar.gz` archives, the `data` and `logs`
|
|
directories are sub-folders of `$ES_HOME`. If these important folders are left
|
|
in their default locations, there is a high risk of them being deleted while
|
|
upgrading Elasticsearch to a new version.
|
|
|
|
In production use, you will almost certainly want to change the locations of the
|
|
data and log folder:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
path:
|
|
logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
|
|
data: /var/data/elasticsearch
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The RPM and Debian distributions already use custom paths for `data` and `logs`.
|
|
|
|
The `path.data` settings can be set to multiple paths, in which case all paths
|
|
will be used to store data (although the files belonging to a single shard will
|
|
all be stored on the same data path):
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
path:
|
|
data:
|
|
- /mnt/elasticsearch_1
|
|
- /mnt/elasticsearch_2
|
|
- /mnt/elasticsearch_3
|
|
-------------------------------------------------- |
