# Configuration Parameters


Before starting to use IoTDB, you need to config the configuration files first. For your convenience, we have already set the default config in the files.

In total, we provide users three kinds of configurations module: 

* environment configuration file (`iotdb-env.bat`, `iotdb-env.sh`). The default configuration file for the environment configuration item. Users can configure the relevant system configuration items of JAVA-JVM in the file.
* system configuration file (`iotdb-engine.properties`). 
	* `iotdb-engine.properties`: The default configuration file for the IoTDB engine layer configuration item. Users can configure the IoTDB engine related parameters in the file, such as JDBC service listening port (`rpc_port`), unsequence data storage directory (`unsequence_data_dir`), etc. What's more, Users can configure the information about the TsFile, such as the data size written to the disk per time(`group_size_in_byte`). 
  
* log configuration file (`logback.xml`)

The configuration files of the three configuration items are located in the IoTDB installation directory: `$IOTDB_HOME/conf` folder.

## Hot Modification Configuration

For the convenience of users, IoTDB server provides users with hot modification function, that is, modifying some configuration parameters in `iotdb engine. Properties` during the system operation and applying them to the system immediately. 
In the parameters described below, these parameters whose way of `Effective` is `trigger` support hot modification.

Trigger way: The client sends the command `load configuration` to the IoTDB server. See Chapter 4 for the usage of the client.

## IoTDB Environment Configuration File

The environment configuration file is mainly used to configure the Java environment related parameters when IoTDB Server is running, such as JVM related configuration. This part of the configuration is passed to the JVM when the IoTDB Server starts. Users can view the contents of the environment configuration file by viewing the `iotdb-env.sh` (or `iotdb-env.bat`) file.

## Enable GC log

GC log is off by default.
For performance tuning, you may want to collect the GC info. 

To enable GC log, just add a parameter "printgc" when you start the server.

```bash
nohup sbin/start-server.sh printgc >/dev/null 2>&1 &
```
Or
```bash
sbin\start-server.bat printgc
```

GC log is stored at `IOTDB_HOME/logs/gc.log`.
There will be at most 10 gc.log.* files and each one can reach to 10MB.
