Directory layout

The directory layout of an installation is as follows:

Type	Description	Default Location	Config Option
home	Home of the Functionbeat 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 Functionbeat.	`{path.home}/logs`	`path.logs`

Default paths

edit

Functionbeat uses the following default paths unless you explicitly change them.

zip, tar.gz, or tgz

edit

Type	Description	Location
home	Home of the Functionbeat installation.	`{extract.path}`
bin	The location for the binary files.	`{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 Functionbeat.	`{extract.path}/logs`
pkg	The location for the binary uploaded to your serverless provider.	`{extract.path}/pkg`

For the zip, tar.gz, or tgz distributions, these paths are based on the location of the extracted binary file. This means that if you start Functionbeat with the following simple command, all paths are set correctly:

./functionbeat
