How do I configure the JBoss EAP 6.x/7.x XML configuration history?

Solution Unverified - 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 EAP 6.1.0, these two system properties are available:

    • jboss.config.current-history-length (defaults to 100)
    • 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 you can configure in the <system-properties> section of your standalone.xml . See also this article about howt 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"
