Version - Server: Sonarqube 7.7.0.23042 in docker container
Version - Scanner: SonarQube Scanner 3.3.0.1492
Version Java: Java 1.8.0_121 Oracle Corporation (64-bit)

Explanation:
I am trying to conduct an analysis on an application and received this error at the end of the execution.In the container, what would the path be to change the client_max_body_size value to 100M?

Apparently the server will reject requests by default if they are too large. This is difficult to deal with when you develop large applications.

I have searched around the server and I cannot find if it is using Apache or ngix, however the error is constant for either server. Other applications scan completely fine, while larger ones will encounter this error message during execution.

Reproduce:
Scan an application with more than 6000 files and it will fail.

Suggestion:
Add a way to change the client value size in the administration control plane (panel, page, etc).

Workaround:
None

Hi Amari,

nginx is not bundled with the SonarQube application, nor with the official Docker image. The limit you reach probably comes from a reverse-proxy specific to your infrastructure.

Could you please provide the size of the scanner report? It’s displayed in the logs just before the error you pasted in this thread.

Is there a way to update the size of analysis report accepted?

Hi @shruti_rao,

Pretty much universally when we see this error it comes from something in the middle between the machine where analysis takes place and the SonarQube server. E.G. a proxy.

 
HTH,
