The data directory is where the Island server stores runtime artifacts. These include the Island logs, any custom post-breach action files, configuration files, etc.
On Linux, the default path is $HOME/.monkey_island.
On Windows, the default path is %AppData%\monkey_island.
The location of the data directory is set in the data_dir field in the
server_config.json file.
Create a custom server_config.json file and set the data_dir field. Its
contents will look like:
{
"log_level": "DEBUG",
"environment": {
"server_config": "password"
},
"mongodb": {
"start_mongodb": true
},
"data_dir": "<PATH_TO_DATA_DIR>"
}
Start the Infection Monkey with the --server-config parameter.
$ InfectionMonkey-VERSION.AppImage --server-config <PATH_TO_SERVER_CONFIG>
