I’m sure you might be able to use the ignition.conf or another file on the gateway such as an ini and use [ConfigParser](https://www.jython.org/jython-old-sites/docs/library/configparser.html) to read the config.

You can get the ignition install directory using: [How to get Ignition install directory (OS agnostic)? - #3 by nminchin](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-get-ignition-install-directory-os-agnostic/40456/3)  
Note: this will only work from the gateway scope, so from gateway event scripts, tag change events, etc.  
What are you trying to store?
