Warnings ... A plugin is storing excessively large data

SonarQube Server / Community Build
,

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

the following warning shows up. It mentions me as someone to “heal” this … how do i proceed? (please mind: i am starting my research in the server, not in the build pipeline)

  • At what size exactly starts “excessively large data”?
  • how to inspect the sent data for the named measure(s): ‘report’?
  • what is the most easy way to discern which plugin is the culprit?

In my opinion, above are no questions to ask any plugin developer, as it is me who wants to research things in the server right now. Other Opinions?

Also: It would be nice to state the actual amount of Data (the exessively large amount) … is this like “100 kb is excessively larger than 50 bytes” … or more in the range of “10 GiB are excessively larger than 50 bytes”? :flushed_face:

cheers

P.S.: For findability: Warnings

A plugin is storing excessively large data in the following measure(s): ‘report’. This is likely to cause significant SonarQube performance degradation and UI slowness. It is recommended to contact your administrator to disable the plugin or corresponding feature and reach out to the plugin maintainer for further assistance.

Hey @daniel

In this case, “excessively large data” refers to any measure value that exceeds 100,000 characters.

While this issue could theoretically occur with any plugin, it’s specifically relevant here to the GitHub - dependency-check/dependency-check-sonar-plugin: Integrates Dependency-Check reports into SonarQube, particularly when uploading the dependency check HTML report that is stored as a measure.

This is a known problem, and there is already an open issue being tracked here:

Is this a plugin you’re using?
