413 Request Entity Too Large

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1
  • Which versions are you using - SonarQube Community Build v24.12.0.100206
  • Hosted: AWS EC2 directly on instance, no middleware like ALB.
  • How is SonarQube deployed: Docker
  • Reverse Proxy: Cloudflare (Maximum Upload Size - 100MB)
  • DevOps Platform: Github Actions
  • What are you trying to achieve: setup code scanning workflow using sonarqube on Github Actions
  • Issues: I have 6 Github SCM repositories each with its corrosponding sonarqube project. 3 of them are working as expected and uploading reports on the sonarqube server, the rest 3 aren’t.
    I’m getting 413 error, it can’t be a network issue since rest 3 are working fine:
    The workflow idea is this:
    Dev Pushes code → Git Action workflow start → scans the code → uploads to sonarqube
    Error occurs on workflow step : Run sonarsource/sonarqube-scan-action@master

Hi,

Did you read the error you posted?

There is likely something on your network, e.g. a proxy, that’s blocking the analysis report submission. You should check with your network folks.

Why does this work for 3 and fail for 3? The analysis report submitted to the server is not a fixed size; it depends entirely on your project and what was found in it. Three of your projects are submitting analysis reports with sizes under the proxy threshold. Three are not.

 
HTH,
