## What is the data directory?
|
|
|
|
The data directory is where the Island server stores runtime artifacts.
|
|
These include the Island logs, any custom post-breach action files,
|
|
configuration files, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Where is it located?
|
|
|
|
On Linux, the default path is `$HOME/.monkey_island`.
|
|
On Windows, the default path is `%AppData%\monkey_island`.
|
|
|
|
## How do I configure the location of the data directory on Linux?
|
|
|
|
The location of the data directory is set in the `data_dir` field in the
|
|
`server_config.json` file.
|
|
|
|
1. [Create a custom server_config.json file](../server_configuration) and set the `data_dir` field. Its
|
|
contents will look like this:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"log_level": "DEBUG",
|
|
"environment": {
|
|
"server_config": "password"
|
|
},
|
|
"mongodb": {
|
|
"start_mongodb": true
|
|
},
|
|
"data_dir": "<PATH_TO_DATA_DIR>"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Start the Infection Monkey with the `--server-config` parameter.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ InfectionMonkey-VERSION.AppImage --server-config <PATH_TO_SERVER_CONFIG>
|
|
```
