Elasticsearch failure on startup

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hi Ann,

I am having issue upgrading sonarqube version from 8.9.3 to 8.9.6, I am using docker image 8.9.6-community . All I can see from the logs is elasticsearch failed to start:

INFO  app[][o.s.a.ProcessLauncherImpl] Launch process[[key='es', ipcIndex=1, logFilenamePrefix=es]] from [/opt/sonarqube/elasticsearch]: /opt/sonarqube/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch
INFO  app[][o.s.a.SchedulerImpl] Waiting for Elasticsearch to be up and running
WARN  app[][o.s.a.p.AbstractManagedProcess] Process exited with exit value [es]: 1
INFO  app[][o.s.a.SchedulerImpl] Process[es] is stopped
INFO  app[][o.s.a.SchedulerImpl] SonarQube is stopped

how can we check the cause of elasticsearch failure ?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

I’ve moved your post to a new thread since it was unrelated to the thread you posted in. Please create new threads for new topics/subjects.

Regarding your question, what do your server logs say?

Hi Ann,

As I am running the service in container there is not much of Information in docker logs too.
I see “error occurred during initialization of VM”

Hi @naveenbudagam

can you check you configuration and make sure to not pass any garbage collector option to ES (as in sonar.search.*)? It seems like you are trying to use UseConcMarkSweepGC, which is deprecated.
We set the garbage collector based on the recommendations of elastic automatically here.

Thanks @Tobias_Trabelsi now the elasticsearch and sonaqube is up and running.
Didn’t find this information on the docs
