Can you help me understand the details of filesystem created post jira installation in Linux ?

[Vickey Lepcha]

I can see the following file systems ;

analytics-logs  caches  data  database  dbconfig.xml  export  import  log  logos  monitor  plugins  scripts  structure  tmp

• analytics-logs = Thanks to @Boris  , I understood its significance.
• cache = ???
• data = I can see it stores all attachments and avatars used
• database = It probably holds details on the default database that comes with JIRA
• dbconfig.xml = It has details of my external database that my JIRA connects to
• export = backup files
• import = restoration files
• log = logfiles
• logos = ???
• monitor = ??? looks like environment health details
• plugins = what exactly are these jar files ( i know it is related to all installed plugins - so does it get created when we install a new plugin ?
• scripts = ???
• structure = ???
• tmp = ???

Most of it is explained here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA+Home+Directory

Some folders like Structure are created by third party add-ons and are likely storing plugin data.
