For Administrators

Changing Tomcat Admin Host

A new parameter in nuxeo.conf allows you to customize the address for which the server waits for a shutdown command.

nuxeo.server.tomcat_admin.host

VCS Full Text Search Enablement and Configuration

Most of the production set up will now rely on Elasticsearch for full-text search. In that case you can disable the VCS full-text index computation by setting the following flag set to true:

nuxeo.vcs.fulltext.search.disabled

Alternatively, if you do want to use it, it is now easy to configure the analyzer language thanks to the following property:

nuxeo.vcs.fulltext.analyzer.language

Elasticsearch Server Version Recommended is Now Elasticsearch 1.5.2

Reindexing Optimization and Reindexing on Startup

Recursive indexing has been made much quicker thanks to a change in the algorithm. We now propose a flag for automatizing it on startup when the index is empty:

elastcisearch.reindex.onStartup=true

Audit is Stored in Elasticsearch

The default backend for the audit is now Elasticsearch. This improves scalability when using Nuxeo Drive for a large set of users. It also allows you to store more information on each audit entry, such as the complete serialization of a document. This new capability will be leveraged in upcoming versions of Nuxeo Platform.

Using Elasticsearch as a backend for audit logs is enabled by the following property in nuxeo.conf:

audit.elasticsearch.enabled=true

This is an important change that implies:

Data migration from the SQL database to an Elasticsearch index, so please make sure you read the Triggering SQL to Elasticsearch Audit Logs Migration section.
Taking into account the audit related Elasticsearch indexes when backing up / restoring a Nuxeo instance, so please make sure you read the Backing Up and Restoring the Audit Elasticsearch Index section.

In order to disable this behaviour and keep the SQL storage, please read the Disabling Elasticsearch for Audit Logs section.
