Index Data Storage

This section explains where SearchBlox stores its index data by default and how to move that storage location to a different folder, drive, or path on your system.

Storing Index Data

By default, all search index data generated by OpenSearch is stored in the following location within your SearchBlox installation.
<SEARCHBLOX_INSTALLATION_PATH>/opensearch/data

705

Windows path as an Example

To change the index folder to any other drive or path, make the following changes:

  1. Go to <SEARCHBLOX_INSTALLATION_PATH>/opensearch/config.
  2. Open the opensearch.yml file in a code editor such as Notepad.
  3. Add the following path in the path.data field on the first line:
    path.data: D:/dataindex
  4. Specify the location where you want the index to be stored. The path can be on the same drive, another location, another drive, or a mapped drive.
  5. Restart OpenSearch and SearchBlox. After restarting, all indexed data will be stored in D:/dataindex or the path specified in opensearch.yml.
