Microservices Engine:View historical versions

Last Updated:Mar 11, 2026

When a configuration change causes issues such as degraded performance or broken functionality, you need to identify what changed and who made the change. Microservices Engine (MSE) records every configuration change for 30 days, enabling you to trace changes and roll back to a previous version. You can view the type, content, and exact update time of each operation.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have:

Note

To upgrade an earlier Nacos engine, see Update a Nacos version.

Query version history

  1. Log on to the MSE console, and select a region in the top navigation bar.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Microservices Registry > Instances.

  3. On the Instances page, click the name of the instance.

  4. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Configuration Management > Versions.

  5. On the Versions page, select a Namespace, specify the Data ID and Group, and then click Query.

    Note
    • Both Data ID and Group are required fields.

  6. In the query results, find the target version and click View in the Actions column.

Operator identification

The Operated By column identifies who published each version. The displayed value depends on the client version and credentials:
