In our production envirement (jboss wildfly 8.2), Windows server 2012 R2, I noticed that all of the date of creation, modification and access of the configuration file Standalone.xml was changed to the same date. I took a look at the event log to know who has accessed the this server at this time. I didn’t find any access.
My question is, who is responsible for this change? Can these dates be changed by the application or some non-human task, service …etc.
Answer
The standalone.xml file gets backed up and rewritten to the file system on startup. This is documented here, for AS7, I assume this feature has not changed since then.
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Configuration+file+history
You should have a directory called ‘standalone_xml_history’ in the same place, containing recent backups of the file.
