7.5. Run Red Hat JBoss Data Grid with a Custom Configuration

To run Red Hat JBoss Data Grid with a custom configuration, add a configuration file to the $JDG_HOME/standalone/configuration directory.

Use the following command to specify the created custom configuration file for standalone mode:

$JDG_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c ${FILENAME}

The -c used for this script does not allow absolute paths, therefore the specified file must be available in the $JDG_HOME/standalone/configuration directory.

If the command is run without the -c parameter, JBoss Data Grid uses the default configuration.

As a managed domain is configured with two separate files, domain.xml and host.xml by default, there are two separate flags for specifying custom configuration files.

To define the custom configuration file for the server group profiles, use the -c parameter as described above, and demonstrated in the following command:

$JDG_HOME/bin/domain.sh -c ${FILENAME}

To define the custom configuration file for the servers use the --host-config parameter, as demonstrated in the following command:

$JDG_HOME/bin/domain.sh --host-config=${FILENAME}
