# Changing application settings cache expiry interval **(FREE SELF)**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Application settings are cached for 60 seconds by default which should work
|
||
|
|
for most installations. A higher value would mean a greater delay between
|
||
|
|
changing an application setting and noticing that change come into effect.
|
||
|
|
A value of `0` would result in the `application_settings` table being
|
||
|
|
loaded for every request causing extra load on Redis and/or PostgreSQL.
|
||
|
|
It is therefore recommended to keep the value above zero.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Change the application settings cache expiry
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To change the expiry value:
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
**For Omnibus installations**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
gitlab_rails['application_settings_cache_seconds'] = 60
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Save the file, and reconfigure and restart GitLab for the changes to take effect:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
|
||
|
|
gitlab-ctl restart
|

|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
gitlab:
|
||
|
|
application_settings_cache_seconds: 60
|
||
|
