=== Directory layout
|
|
|
|
The directory layout of an installation is as follows:
|
|
|
|
[cols="<h,<,<m,<m",options="header",]
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
| Type | Description | Default Location | Config Option
|
|
| home | Home of the {beatname_uc} installation. | | path.home
|
|
| bin | The location for the binary files. | {path.home}/bin |
|
|
| config | The location for configuration files. | {path.home} | path.config
|
|
| data | The location for persistent data files. | {path.home}/data| path.data
|
|
| logs | The location for the logs created by {beatname_uc}. | {path.home}/logs | path.logs
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
You can change these settings by using CLI flags or setting <<configuration-path,path options>> in the configuration
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
==== Default paths
|
|
|
|
{beatname_uc} uses the following default paths unless you explicitly change them.
|
|
|
|
ifeval::["{beatname_lc}"!="winlogbeat"]
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
===== deb and rpm
|
|
[cols="<h,<,<m",options="header",]
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
| Type | Description | Location
|
|
| home | Home of the {beatname_uc} installation. | /usr/share/{beatname_lc}
|
|
| bin | The location for the binary files. | /usr/share/{beatname_lc}/bin
|
|
| config | The location for configuration files. | /etc/{beatname_lc}
|
|
| data | The location for persistent data files. | /var/lib/{beatname_lc}
|
|
| logs | The location for the logs created by {beatname_uc}. | /var/log/{beatname_lc}
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
For the deb and rpm distributions, these paths are set in the init script or in
|
|
the systemd unit file. Make sure that you start the {beatname_uc} service by using
|
|
the preferred operating system method (init scripts or `systemctl`).
|
|
Otherwise the paths might be set incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
===== docker
|
|
[cols="<h,<,<m",options="header",]
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
| Type | Description | Location
|
|
| home | Home of the {beatname_uc} installation. | /usr/share/{beatname_lc}
|
|
| bin | The location for the binary files. | /usr/share/{beatname_lc}
|
|
| config | The location for configuration files. | /usr/share/{beatname_lc}
|
|
| data | The location for persistent data files. | /usr/share/{beatname_lc}/data
|
|

|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
endif::[]
|
|
|
|
[float]
|
|
===== zip, tar.gz, and tgz
|
|
[cols="<h,<,<m",options="header",]
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
| Type | Description | Location
|
|
| home | Home of the {beatname_uc} installation. | {extract.path}

|
|
| config | The location for configuration files. | {extract.path}
|
|
| data | The location for persistent data files. | {extract.path}/data
|
|
| logs | The location for the logs created by {beatname_uc}. | {extract.path}/logs
|
|
|=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
For the zip, tar.gz and tgz distributions, these paths are based on the location of the
|
|
extracted binary file. This means that if you start {beatname_uc} with the following simple command,
|
|
all paths are set correctly:
|
|
|
|
ifeval::["{beatname_lc}"!="winlogbeat"]
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
./{beatname_lc}
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
endif::[]
|
|
|
|
ifeval::["{beatname_lc}"=="winlogbeat"]
|
|
|
|
["source","sh",subs="attributes,callouts"]
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Start-Service {beatname_lc}
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------

endif::[]
