Java heap space during upgrade to 10.8

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Must-share information (formatted with Markdown):

  • which versions are you using: SonarQube Server
  • how is SonarQube deployed: Openshift using DockerImage
  • what are you trying to achieve: Upgrading to SonarQube Server 10.8
  • what have you tried so far to achieve this: I have built a new image on Openshift based on the SonarQube server 10.8 image.

When I upgrade I get the usual “database migration” page. When I upgrade the database it crashes with Java heap space.

I have the following memory settings in my deployment yaml:

      containers:
        - resources:
            limits:
              cpu: '1'
              memory: 8Gi
            requests:
              cpu: 200m
              memory: 4Gi

I have tried to add add some parameter SONAR_JAVA_OPTS like this without being able to confirm that the memory is increased:

    env: 
      - name: SONAR_JAVA_OPTS
        value: '-Xms6g -Xmx6g'

Checking in the pod I find this from ps aux | grep java:

/opt/java/openjdk/bin/java -jar lib/sonarqube.jar -Dsonar.log.console=true

Which does not indicate that the memory setting has been picked up.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey there.

If it crashes during the Database migration, you’ll need to adjust SONAR_WEB_JAVAOPTS as it’s the Web JVM process handling the database migration. SONAR_JAVA_OPTS has no impact here (and it’s nowhere to be found in the list of environment variable config)
