Where Does GlassWire Store Its Database?
GlassWire keeps its network history database and service configuration under ProgramData on Windows. Troubleshooting logs live in a separate log folder once logging is enabled.
Last updated
Default storage sits under the GlassWire folder in ProgramData and is owned by the system service. The main database file holds graph and history data.
Configuration uses glasswire.conf with an option to move the database. Diagnostic logs are written under the service log folder and are used for support reports.
Where GlassWire stores this, by platform
C:\ProgramData\GlassWire\service\glasswire.db

C:\ProgramData\GlassWire\service-full\log\
Diagnostic log folder used for local server issues. Enable by setting LogEnabled to true in the glasswire file, then restart the service and reproduce the issue before collecting files.
