+  used to be an integer number of days, is now a string with a human-readable
+  duration:

+    # …
+    'querylog_interval': 90
+
+  # AFTER:
+  'dns':

+  To rollback this change, convert the parameter back into days and change the
+  `schema_version` back to `11`.

+
+  # AFTER:
+  'os':
+    'group': ''
