    Hi All
    I’m using SonarQube version 6.7.6 and following Plugins:
    Android - 1.1
    Checkstyle - 2.4
    Dependency-Check - 1.1.1
    Findbugs - 3.3
    Git - 1.8 (build 1574)
    GitHub - 1.4.2 (build 1027)
    PMD - 2.5
    SonarCSS - 1.0.3 (build 724)
    SonarHTML - 3.1 (build 1615)
    SonarJS - 5.1.1 (build 7506)
    SonarJava- 5.8 (build 15699)
    SonarPHP - 3.0.0.4537
    SonarTS - 1.9 (build 3766)
    SonarXML - 2.0.1 (build 2020)

Normally the analysis runs for seconds. But I got one, which seems to never end. I started with following JVM configuration:

SONARQUBE_WEB_JVM_OPTS = -XX:MetaspaceSize=128m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m -Xms1024m -Xmx2024m
SONARQUBE_CE_JVM_OPTS = -Xmx1024m -Xms512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

Now I got following:

SONARQUBE_WEB_JVM_OPTS = -XX:MetaspaceSize=128m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m -Xms1024m -Xmx2024m
SONARQUBE_CE_JVM_OPTS = -Xmx3072m -Xms512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

But the analysis takes still very long time. About 266 min. The project has Lines of Code 1,277,925. The main part are XML (1,277,900)

Is there a possibility to speed it up or is it like this because of the huge amount of code lines?
Thank you very much in advance for your replay.

Hello,

Could you provide logs of analysis?

Indeed you have a lot of code, still it’s not expected to have such long analysis.
It’s possible that there is some particular file which makes analysis that slow. You could play with sonar.inclusions property to analyze only particular file to try to find the one that is problematic.

Thank you for your response. I will ask the customer to go this approach with the inclusion.
