How to move $KIBANA_HOME from /usr/share/ to /data/

[yodog]

hi all.

i cant update ELK 7.4.1 to 7.4.2 due to [lack of] space in /usr/

Transaction check error:
  a instalação do pacote kibana-7.4.2-1.x86_64 precisa de 38MB no sistema de arquivos /usr

i have all ELK data in /data/

4,0K    /data/logstash
129M    /data/kibana
758G    /data/elasticsearch

but /usr/ is not very big and the ELK stack is taking all available space

329M    /usr/share/logstash
468M    /usr/share/elasticsearch
992M    /usr/share/kibana

is there a way to move $KIBANA_HOME from /usr/share/ to /data/ as well?

[yodog]

should i post this on github as well?

You can move the directories, but you will need to first stop the services.

[yodog]

alright...

wont kibana look for files in the old path?

is there a config in kibana.yml to set the new path?

or by move youre saying that i should create a symlink to /data/ after moving the files?

Oh, I see - these are the config directories, not the application directories. To move them for Kibana you will need to update path.data in you kibana.yml

@tylersmalley

i already have path.data configured to /data/kibana/ (with 129MB in it)

my current problem is /usr/share/kibana/ (992M), also known as $KIBANA_HOME

is there a path.home or anything similar in kibana.yml ?

so i could do something like

#$ mkdir /data/kibana/home/
#$ mv /usr/share/kibana/* /data/kibana/home/

and in kibana.yml

path.data: /data/kibana/
path.home: /data/kibana/home/

i managed to make room for the update, but i'm still in need of a permanent solution.

any ideas?
