Not all the environment variables are user-MODIFICABLE. + +:::note +Environment variables beginning with `APISIX_` are reserved for APISIX internal usage. Do not define any environment variables with this prefix or modify them unless advised to do so. + +::: + +#### `APISIX_CONF_EXPIRE_TIME` + +| Default | Type | Remarks | +| ------- | --------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | +| 3600s | NON-MODIFICABLE | Only used in the multilingual plugins (ext-plugin) | + +When the APISIX configuration is modified, it sends a new `PrepareConf` call to the Plugin Runner. Currently, no mechanism exists to notify the Plugin Runner of configuration change/removal. The `APISIX_CONF_EXPIRE_TIME` is a workaround to set the conf cache to expire time. The Plugin Runner caches the conf slightly longer than this environment variable value, if the configuration is still existing after the set time, a new `PrepareConf` call is sent to create a new configuration. + +#### `APISIX_PATH` Review Comment: Yeah, we can, but it will be nice to present as much information we have in the docs. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
