What is upload Directory?

Upload directory is the folder where following files are stored:

a) yCrash configuration files like threshold-settings, Single Sign On,...

b) Dump files transmitted by the yc-360 script

c) Dump files uploaded by the users

By default, the upload directory is the same directory in which the yCrash server is installed.

How to change upload directory location?

Best Practice: It's a best practice to specify the upload directory in a different location, from the directory in which yCrash server is installed. So that when you upgrade to a new version of yCrash server, you will not lose the historically uploaded incidents.

You can change the ‘upload’ directory location, by specifying the new directory location in the 'uploadDir' system property of launch-yc-server.sh (or launch-yc-server.bat if you are running on windows).

Example: if you want to change your upload directory to /opt/workspace/yc/uploads, then in the launch script specify this directory as shown below:

java ... -DuploadDir=/opt/workspace/yc/uploads ...

Note:

When running yCrash inside a Docker or containerized environment, always configure -DuploadDir using absolute paths(such as /opt/workspace/yc/uploads) that are backed by writable volumes. Avoid using relative paths (such as .), as the container working directory may not be writable and can cause file upload failures.
