Resource versioning

KUMA stores the change history of resources in the form of versions. A resource version is created automatically when you create a new resource or save changes made to the settings of an existing resource.

The change history is not available for the Dictionaries resource. To save the history of dictionaries, you can export data.

Resource versions are retained for the duration specified in the Settings section. When the age of a resource version reaches the specified value, the version is automatically deleted.

You can view the change history of KUMA resources, compare versions, and restore a previous version of a resource, for example, if it fails and you need to recover it.

To view the change history of a resource:

1. In the KUMA Console, in the Resources section, select the type of resources that you need.

   This opens a window opens with a table of available resources of this type.

   If you want to view all resources, in the Resources section, go to the List tab.

2. Select the check box for the resource whose change history you want to view, and click the Show version history button in the upper part of the table.

This opens a window with a table of saved versions of the selected resource. New resources have only one version, the current version.

For each version, the table displays the following information:

• Version is the serial number of the resource version. When you save changes to the resource and create a new version, the serial number is increased by 1.

  The version with the highest number and the most recent publication date reflects the current state of the resource. Version 1 reflects the state of the resource at the moment when it was created.

• Published is the date and time when the resource version was created.
• Author is the login of the user that saved the changes to the resource.

  If the changes were made by the system or by the migration script, the displayed value is system.

• Comment is a text comment added by the author when saving changes, or a system comment describing the changes made.
• Retention period is the number of days and the date after which the resource version will be deleted.

  If necessary, you can configure the retention period for resource versions.

• Actions is the button that restores the resource version.

You can sort the table of resource versions by the Version, Published, and Author columns by clicking the heading and selecting Ascending or Descending. You can also display only changes made by a specific author or authors in the table by clicking the heading of the Author column and selecting the authors as needed.

If you want to view the status of a resource in a specific version, click that version in the table. This opens a window with the resource of the selected version, in which you can:

• View the settings specified in that version of the resource.
• Restore this version of the resource by clicking the Restore button.
• Export this version of the resource to a JSON file by clicking the Export button.
