== Directory Layout
|
|
|
|
The directory layout of an installation is as follows:
|
|
|
|
[cols="<h,<,<m,<m",options="header",]
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
| Type | Description | Default Location | Setting
|
|
| home | Home of elasticsearch installation. | | path.home
|
|
|
|
| bin | Binary scripts including `elasticsearch` to start a node. | {path.home}/bin | | conf | Configuration files including `elasticsearch.yml` | {path.home}/config | path.conf
|
|
|
|
| data | The location of the data files of each index / shard allocated
|
|
on the node. Can hold multiple locations. | {path.home}/data| path.data
|
|
|
|
| logs | Log files location. | {path.home}/logs | path.logs
|
|
|
|
| plugins | Plugin files location. Each plugin will be contained in a subdirectory. | {path.home}/plugins | path.plugins
|
|
|
|
| repo | Shared file system repository locations. Can hold multiple locations. A file system repository can be placed in to any subdirectory of any directory specified here. d| Not configured | path.repo
|
|
|
|
| script | Location of script files. | {path.conf}/scripts | path.script
|
|
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
Multiple `data` paths may be specified, in order to spread data across
|
|
multiple disks or locations, but all of the files from a single shard will be
|
|
written to the same path. This can be configured as follows:
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
path.data: /mnt/first,/mnt/second
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Or in an array format:
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
path.data: ["/mnt/first", "/mnt/second"]
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
TIP: To stripe shards across multiple disks, please use a RAID driver
|
|
instead.
