Startup configuration

There are two files that supply the startup configuration for dbWatch, both can be found in the root of the dbWatch installation catalog.

• monitor.conf Startup configuration for the dbWatch Monitor
• server.conf Startup configuration for the dbWatch Server

server.conf

The default server.conf file looks like this:

loglevel 1
loadproperties version.properties

export dbwatch.configdir  config
export dbwatch.workdir    server
export dbwatch.logdir     log

// If on windows
if(${win_app_data}) export dbwatch.datadir ${win_app_data}/dbWatch/${version}/server
// Linux and mac
else export dbwatch.datadir server

include custom_server.conf
include ${user.home}/.dbwatch/custom_server.conf

redirect stdOut ${dbwatch.logdir}/output.log
redirect stdErr ${dbwatch.logdir}/error.log

localstore repository dbwatch no.dbwatch
localstore ${dbwatch.datadir}/generated_repository generated
localstore repository_server_bundles bundles no.dbwatch
localstore repository_external external

Editing

The lines that you are likely to change are:

Lines starting with export

Lines starting with export define where dbWatch will look for (or place) particular files

• dbwatch.workdir The main working directory for dbWatch
• dbwatch.logdir Where logfiles will be placed
• dbwatch.configdir Where dbWatch will look for configuration files.
• dbwatch.datadir Where dbWatch will place libraries it creates.
  

Lines starting with redirect

Lines starting with redirect override where the standard output (stdOut) and error stream (stdErr) from dbWatch go. If you remove these lines, the output will appear in the console that you used to start dbWatch (if any)

Lines starting with localstore

Lines starting with localstore tells dbWatch where to look for the libraries it uses.
