Output files storage path in Alteryx Server

RaghavG — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 13:59:44 GMT

Hello All,

I have a question regarding output files storage location on the Alteryx server.

The location depends on the network drive location which we have specified in the output file and based on that it will store the files.I have given the network drive but I do not want to give it. Because, if I give the network drive then the output files are not visible on Alteryx Gallery ( web interface). Everytime, I have to go to that network drive to get the output files.

So, here i wanted to know the location of the output files stored under the alteryx server by default.Is anyone know how to find the file storage location path.

The files that you download from the UI on the results page are not stored on a folder that you can simply grab them. They are in the MongoDB.

Thanks that would make sense.

Also is there any timeline till how long those files will be available and will they get truncated on a timely basis?

And file size limit to store in Mongo DB.?
