How to configure the JBoss EAP XML configuration history

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.x
    • 7.x

Issue

  • What settings are available to configure the XML configuration file history?
  • Is there a way to disable the standalone_xml_history in EAP 6.x?

Resolution

Starting with JBoss EAP 6.1.0, these two system properties are available: jboss.config.current-history-length (defaults to 100) and jboss.config.history-days (defaults to 30).

For standalone mode, these could be added to standalone.conf or on the command line as Java VM option. Or users can configure in the <system-properties> section of the standalone.xml. See also this article about how to add/remove/update system properties.

        <system-properties>
            <property name="jboss.config.current-history-length" value="50"/>
            <property name="jboss.config.history-days" value="15"/>
        </system-properties>

For domain mode, these could be added to domain.conf or on the command line.

        JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.config.current-history-length=50 -Djboss.config.history-days=15"
