How to move cache folder on windows

Help
1

I’m trying to install the first parent of Netdata on Windows, and I want to move the cache database directory to a different disk.

When I tried setting it up as N:\Netdata\cache, the service fails to start and crashes immidiatly without writing anything to logs. What am I missing?

my netdata.conf file contains

[directories]
cache = N:\Netdata\Cache

another option is moving the whole directory of netdata to drive N. I did not see it is possible to install netdata to a different folder and Nedi told me it is impossible to change the install directory.

Any help would be appreciated

Dear @DBug ,

Welcome to the Netdata community.

Netdata started a migration last week to add full support for Windows standards with PR https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pull/21972, which I set ready for review today. While we are working to achieve this support, it is still necessary to work with our configuration file as if it were a Linux directory. As a consequence of this, you will have to change your netdata.conf like this:

[directories]

cache = /n/Netdata/cache

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Best regards!
