Collibra Console

Architecture

The management console is a Java web application. It runs independently and does not rely on any other components. It uses a local file-based database to store some of its data, like the environment configuration and the user information.

Data storage

The data of the Collibra Console is located in:

• Linux with root permission: /opt/collibra_data/console
• Linux without root permission: ~/collibra_data/console
• Windows: C:\collibra_data\console

Collibra Console contains the following data directories:
