<p>The <code class="literal">path</code> section of the <code class="literal">apm-server.yml</code> config file contains configuration
options that define where APM Server looks for its files. For example, APM Server
looks for the Elasticsearch template file in the configuration path and writes
log files in the logs path.</p>
<p>Please see the <a class="xref" href="directory-layout.html" title="Directory layout">Directory layout</a> section for more details.</p>
<p>Here is an example configuration:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-yaml">
<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-yaml">path.home: /usr/share/beat
path.config: /etc/beat
path.data: /var/lib/beat
path.logs: /var/log/</pre>
</div>
<p>Note that it is possible to override these options by using command line flags.</p>
<div class="position-relative"><h3><a id="_configuration_options_10"></a>Configuration options</h3><a class="edit_me" rel="nofollow" title="Edit this page on GitHub" href="https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/edit/7.13/docs/copied-from-beats/docs/shared-path-config.asciidoc">edit</a></div>
<p>You can specify the following options in the <code class="literal">path</code> section of the <code class="literal">apm-server.yml</code> config file:</p>
<div class="position-relative"><h4><a id="_home"></a><code class="literal">home</code></h4><a class="edit_me" rel="nofollow" title="Edit this page on GitHub" href="https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/edit/7.13/docs/copied-from-beats/docs/shared-path-config.asciidoc">edit</a></div>
<p>The home path for the APM Server installation. This is the default base path for all
other path settings and for miscellaneous files that come with the distribution (for example, the
sample dashboards). If not set by a CLI flag or in the configuration file, the default
for the home path is the location of the APM Server binary.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-yaml">
<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-yaml">path.home: /usr/share/beats</pre>
</div>
<div class="position-relative"><h4><a id="_config"></a><code class="literal">config</code></h4><a class="edit_me" rel="nofollow" title="Edit this page on GitHub" href="https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/edit/7.13/docs/copied-from-beats/docs/shared-path-config.asciidoc">edit</a></div>
<p>The configuration path for the APM Server installation. This is the default base path
for configuration files, including the main YAML configuration file and the
Elasticsearch template file. If not set by a CLI flag or in the configuration file, the default for the
configuration path is the home path.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-yaml">
<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-yaml">path.config: /usr/share/beats/config</pre>
</div>
<div class="position-relative"><h4><a id="_data"></a><code class="literal">data</code></h4><a class="edit_me" rel="nofollow" title="Edit this page on GitHub" href="https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/edit/7.13/docs/copied-from-beats/docs/shared-path-config.asciidoc">edit</a></div>
<p>The data path for the APM Server installation. This is the default base path for all
the files in which APM Server needs to store its data. If not set by a CLI
flag or in the configuration file, the default for the data path is a <code class="literal">data</code>
subdirectory inside the home path.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-yaml">
<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-yaml">path.data: /var/lib/beats</pre>
</div>
<div class="tip admon">
<div class="icon"></div>
<div class="admon_content">
<p>When running multiple APM Server instances on the same host, make sure they
each have a distinct <code class="literal">path.data</code> value.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="position-relative"><h4><a id="_logs"></a><code class="literal">logs</code></h4><a class="edit_me" rel="nofollow" title="Edit this page on GitHub" href="https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/edit/7.13/docs/copied-from-beats/docs/shared-path-config.asciidoc">edit</a></div>
<p>The logs path for a APM Server installation. This is the default location for APM Server’s
log files. If not set by a CLI flag or in the configuration file, the default
for the logs path is a <code class="literal">logs</code> subdirectory inside the home path.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-yaml">
<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-yaml">path.logs: /var/log/beats</pre>
</div>
<div class="position-relative"><h4><a id="_system_hostfs"></a><code class="literal">system.hostfs</code></h4><a class="edit_me" rel="nofollow" title="Edit this page on GitHub" href="https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/edit/7.13/docs/copied-from-beats/docs/shared-path-config.asciidoc">edit</a></div>
<p>Specifies the mount point of the host’s filesystem for use in monitoring a host.
This can either be set in the config, or with the <code class="literal">--system.hostfs</code> CLI flag. This is used for cgroup self-monitoring.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-yaml">
<div class="console_code_copy" title="Copy to clipboard"></div>
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-yaml">system.hostfs: /mount/rootfs</pre>
