ODB configuration

The SQLite database that stores the configuration of a Zato environment.

The ODB (operational database) is an internal component of Zato which stores the configuration of a given server - e.g. services, channels, security definitions and other objects. Each environment has its own ODB and it runs on SQLite.

The database is managed by Zato automatically and there's no need for you to access it manually, but if you're like to check what it looks like internally, you can find it here /opt/zato/data/zato.db inside a running Zato container.

Unlike the audit log database, the ODB doesn't need any backups - it is always recreated from your enmasse configuration each time a container starts.
