Hello, 

I have a measurement archive machine with esmond running, and there is a 
separate disk partition mounted on the machine where I want to store all the 
incoming measurement data from measurement points. 

My question is: What is the proper way to change the default directory 
location for storing the measurement archive data? 

Looking at "/opt/esmond.conf” without much knowledge is not helping that 
much, and the documentation online seems to mention multiple components 
related to storage (cassanda, tsrb, newdb, etc), so I’m not exactly sure what 
to touch.  

I see there is a way to set the ESMOND_ROOT environment variable to a 
different one, but I am not sure if that is sufficient or not (or an overkill 
approach?). Seems not, actually.. I think I might have to create a new sql db 
in our desired directory and modify esmond.conf to point to that, but I am 
not sure if that is sufficient. 

Any help or pointer would be great!

Thanks,
Joon
