Log filesystem changes? Track what a java app modifies on the fs?
I’m trying to run a java app that creates settings/configuration files, but I’m not sure where and how exactly it’s creating those said files. For that I was thinking perhaps I could log any filesystem changes in a dragnet way (as in, log the entire filesystem). Would anyone know how to do that without much hassle? Tried inotifywatch but it did not seem to want to log the entire filesystem (or it took it too much to establish watchers, probably because the wide area of search)
Or is there perhaps a better way to determine where the java app or the java environment saves those configuration files? Thank you.
