JVM crash on Sonarqube 7.7 ES startup

SonarQube

Hi - I’m not sure what I should try now. would a different version of the JDK be worth trying? or different version of Sonarqube?

Thanks for your help! Great product nonetheless!

Hi Carl,

Could you please provide a bit more details about your environment? OS, SonarQube configuration (sonar.properties), Docker runtime?

Thanks

Hi Simon

Sure - this is Sonarqube 7.7, on a vm. OS is Centos 7

Virtualization: vmware

Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7
Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64
Architecture: x86-64

I’ll attach our sonar.properties file, but not much changed there, just configured to point at a postgres db.

Thanks

The site is blocking me from including my sonar.properties file, something about new users not posting more that 6 links. But the only changes I’ve made are the jdbc settings to use a Postgres instance. I see a link that suggests we should make a change here:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/vm-max-map-count.html

So I’ll try that, but we are not seeing the warning it mentions:

When SonarQube runs standalone, a warning such as the following may appear in logs/es.log:

“max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]”

Thanks
Carl

no, that setting change didn’t make a difference for us, still crashes on startup on the Centos VM. I installed it to my Win10 laptop and it runs fine, just as a data point, but we really need it to run on the Centos VM.

Thanks
Carl
