Events expiration setting in realm.json is ignored during realm import"

[aheeb]

Current Behavior

When I put eventsExpiration to 600 like here in the realm.json:

"eventsExpiration": "600"

It just gets ignored in keycloak itself because the newest keycloak version already has a default value for that. So right now, the default value of keycloak overrides my configuration. It only works if I delete the default value in the UI and then import it again.

Expected Behavior

When I put eventsExpiration to 600 like here in the realm.json:

"eventsExpiration": "600"

Keycloak should take it as the value for the user events expiration like in the screenshot down below

Steps To Reproduce

1. set eventsExpiration to 600
2. start the keycloak service
3. import the keycloak config

Environment

• Keycloak Version: 24.0.5
• keycloak-config-cli Version: 6.2.1
• Java Version: 21

Anything else?

Did you try setting eventsExpiration with a number value?

"eventsExpiration": 300
