Deprecation Note
We published the last version of Graylog Documentation before the release of Graylog 4.2. Now, all documentation and help content for Graylog products are available at https://docs.graylog.org/.
There will be no further updates to these pages as of October 2021.
Do you have questions about our documentation? You may place comments or start discussions about documentation here: https://community.graylog.org/c/documentation-campfire/30
Default file locations¶
Each installation flavor of Graylog will place the configuration files into a specific location on the local files system. The goal of this section is to provide a short overview about the most common and most important default file locations.
