As a part of initializing Gateway Service, BAM mounts data and logs folder on the
BDDS. This is contrary to deployment on Docker, where BlueCat recommends using Docker
volumes as a best practice. However, for Gateway Service on BDDS specifically, mounted
volumes work better with the BDDS file system and ensure data persistence when patching
or upgrading BDDS.
Gateway Data -
/root/gwdata/
- Stores any changes made to the Gateway configuration of a running container
- Shared directory for any image loaded onto BDDS, meaning if you replace images,
the containers will write the runtime data to
/root/gwdata/
- Do not use for app, plugin, or workflow data; use the Built-in workspace and generate a custom image
- Gateway Logs:
/var/log/gateway
- Gateway system logs - BDDS Logs:
/var/log/commandServer.log
- Docker status and Gateway status
