- [[path-settings]]
- === `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
- --------------------------------------------------
