# Configure Apache NiFi

You can configure Apache NiFi to suit your needs, by following the Apache NiFi documentation. However, Micro Focus recommends making the following configuration changes.

## Java Virtual Machine Memory

Micro Focus recommends that you increase the maximum amount of memory that can be used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

To increase the maximum amount of memory for the JVM

1. Open the Apache NiFi installation directory.
2. Open the file `conf/bootstrap.conf` in a text editor.
3. Find the line `java.arg.3=-Xmx512m`.

4. Increase the maximum amount of memory available to the JVM, for example:

       java.arg.3=-Xmx2048m
