Collibra environment data storage

All the data of a Collibra Platform environment is stored in two locations:

  • The actual data (communities, assets, domains, users, comments, ...) of Collibra is stored in the repository.
  • The Collibra software metadata (temporary files, log files, license file) is stored in the Collibra data directory on the local file system.
    • Default location on Linux as root or user with sudo privileges: /opt/collibra_data
    • Default location on Linux as standard user: ~/collibra_data
    • Default location on Windows: C:\collibra_data

The Collibra collibra_data directory contains a subdirectory for every service that is installed on the server.
