config_change_track

Introduction

The Config Change Track module allows you to query if any config changes have been made since the last export, with an optional cool-off period to allow a batch of config changes to be finished before an export is made.

It can be used to support automatic export of configuration.

Installation

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. See: https://www.drupal.org/node/895232 for further information.

Configuration

Configure the cool-off period at /admin/config/system/config-change-track.

Usage

Note that it doesn't track config export time automatically, that should be set explicitly when a successful export has been made (and processed).

drush config-change-track:needs-export # Outputs either '0' or '1'
drush config-change-track:set-last-export --time 12345 # Unix timestamp

Similar modules

Config Auto Export is a more sophisticated module that exports only changed configuration and can integrate with a remote service to inform them about the changes. Config Change Track simply sets a flag when config has been changed (observing the cool-off period) and resets the flag when told to, leaving the details of exporting and merging to you.
