Confluence 4.1 : Viewing System Properties

After adding memory, setting a proxy or changing other Java options, it can be difficult to diagnose whether the system has picked them up. This page tells you how to view the system properties that your Confluence site is using. 

(warning) The information on this page does not apply to Confluence OnDemand.

In Confluence 3.0.2 and Later

You can see the expanded system properties on the 'System Information' screen of the Confluence Administration Console.

To see the system properties recognised by your Confluence installation:

  1. Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console':

    • Choose Browse > Confluence Admin. The 'Administrator Access' login screen will be displayed.
    • Enter your password and click Confirm. You will be temporarily logged into a secure session to access the 'Administration Console'.
  2. Select System Information in the 'Administration' section of the left-hand panel.
  3. Scroll down to the section titled 'System Properties'.

In Confluence Versions Earlier than 3.0.2

To find out more about what properties are being picked up, download the file systemproperties.jsp (attached to this page). Place it in your <confluence-install>/confluence/admin directory. Access the following URL:

http://<yourbaseurl>/admin/systemproperties.jsp

No restart of Confluence is required.
