# Config Scope

The commands within the config: scope are used to modify configuration data of Karaf instances (data stored in the /etc folder of the Karaf instance.) Updates take effect immediately without need of restarting Karaf. Note there is also a ConfigMBean that can be used to do this configuration within JMX.
