Hi @Rajesh_Mundhe , It looks like you’re using a non-standard build of SonarQube. I suggest you try upgrading to 8.9.7 LTS or 9.3, the current version. Ann

Thanks, @ganncamp for your reply. I am already using * Version 9.3 (build 51899)

Hi, You may be using some variation on 9.3, but you’re not using the version we issued. The standard 9.3 distribution does not include [image] Rajesh_Mundhe: Log4jHotPatch Ann

Thanks, @ganncamp , I am using the SonarQube developer edition. I will redeploy and cross-check again. I used https://binaries.sonarsource.com/CommercialDistribution/sonarqube-developer/sonarqube-developer-9.3.0.51899.zip link to download. I this correct version?

@ganncamp Issue with elasticsearch 7.16.3 version. This version has the Log4jHotPatch. This issue is throwing due to that. I think sonarQube should include the new elasticsearch version. I set the es Log level to TRACE in that logs it shows all details.

Hi, Elasticsearch 7.16.3 upgraded to Log4j 2.17.1 . No need for a HotPatch. Ann

@ganncamp thanks for your help, it is resolved now. The issue was that the old version of Hot patch dependency was cached and considered.
