+# Changes to PID provider JVM settings
+
+In prepration for a future feature to use multiple PID providers at the same time, all JVM settings for PID providers
+have been enabled to be configured using MicroProfile Config. In the same go, they were renamed to match the name
+of the provider to be configured.
+
+Please watch your log files for deprecation warnings. Your old settings will be picked up, but you should migrate
+to the new names to avoid unnecessary log clutter and get prepared for more future changes. An example message
+looks like this:
+
+```
