how do I mount the embedded elastic search volume in the host system? #28

I want to be able to persist the container and store backups of the data. Where does loggerstass's embedded elastic search store the data so that I can either copy it for backups?

@cultofmetatron, I don't use the embedded elasticsearch for anything other than testing, so I don't have much experience trying to persist the data.

Having said that, I'm fairly certain the embedded elasticsearch uses the default elasticsearch directory layout.

You should be able to set elasticsearch config values using the LS_JAVA_OPTS environment variable. From there, bin/logstash should pass LS_JAVA_OPTS to the embedded elasticsearch java environment.

For example, LS_JAVA_OPTS="$LS_JAVA_OPTS -Des.path.home=/opt/elasticsearch. The log directory path is relative to home set above, {path.home}/logs.

I hope this helps.
