Abstract

Move Cortex XSOAR data folders to a different location on the server.

Follow these steps to move the directories installed on the Cortex XSOAR server to another location.

Let <new path> mark the base path to which to move the Cortex XSOAR server files.

Always use the cp command with the -p flag to retain the original file permissions.

Use the following commands to only move the data.

Stop the Cortex XSOAR service using the appropriate command for your OS.
- systemctl stop demisto
- sudo service demisto stop
Move /var/lib/demisto to <new path>/var/lib/demisto.
cp -pfr /var/lib/demisto <new path>/var/lib

Edit the /etc/demisto.conf file.

Contents of the /etc/demisto.conf file are in JSON format and can hold additional data than what is shown in the example.

{
	"Server": {
		    "HttpsPort": 443
	},
	"folders": {
		    "lib": "{new path}/var/lib/demisto"
	},
	"DB": {
		    "DatabaseDir": "{new path}/var/lib/demisto/data",
		    "IndexDir": "{new path}/var/lib/demisto/data"
	}
}

Update the origin path for the version control folder to the new location.
For example, if the new location is /data/demisto/versionControlRepo, run git remote set-url origin "file:///data/demisto/versionControlRepo"
Note
Do not update the origin path if you are using a remote repository. If you are using CI/CD for content management, update the origin path.
Start the Cortex XSOAR service using the appropriate command for your OS.
- systemctl start demisto
- sudo service demisto start
(Optional) Verify that the process was performed successfully and remove the original directory /var/lib/demisto.
