Nexus Repository 2 officially sunsetted June 30, 2025. Visit my.sonatype.com for archived documentation. Migrate to Sonatype Nexus Repository 3 as soon as possible.
The following applies to Nexus Repository 2 and earlier.
If your organization does not rely upon the Nexus Repository 2 System Feeds feature, then disabling the nexus-timeline-plugin is an option to improve the throughput and performance of your Nexus Repository 2 instance. This is especially relevant for instances with limited JVM heap or that are under extremely high load from authenticated requests (NEXUS-6317).
- Stop Nexus Repository 2
- Locate the timeline plugin files at
{NEXUS_HOME}/nexus/WEB-INF/plugin-repository/nexus-timeline-plugin-{NEXUS_VERSION}. Move this entire directory, a good location might be{NEXUS_HOME}/nexus/WEB-INF/optional-plugins - Optional: To free some additional disk space, and remove all traces of historical feed information, delete the
{NEXUS_WORK}/timelinedirectory. - Start Nexus Repository 2
