SonarQube 7.9.1 When running a sonar project ‘Run Code Analysis’ background task - it succeeds, the background task status is ‘canceled’ (as viewed in administration -> background task) Similar background tasks for other projects work as expected (succeed). Any help to investigate the issue would…

Hi, Welcome to the community! What do you see in the logs for that particular task? Ann

We’re running the analysis using Azure DevOps pipeline tasks Thereof, there are 2 task logs: Run Code Analysis Log (looks like the task succeeded) 2019-11-03T10:40:17.5373901Z 12:40:17.533 INFO: CPD calculation finished 2019-11-03T10:40:36.1479640Z 12:40:36.143 INFO: Analysis report generated i…

Hi, Those look like logs from the build agent. I was asking about server-side Background Task logs, which you’ll find at the project level under Administration > Background Tasks, and then look under the cog menu. Ann

I have looked at the place you mentioned, and there’s only ‘Show Scanner Context’ option under the cog. It didn’t find anything about the task cancellation in the scanner context. Am I missing the task log option there? if so, what could cause it?

Hi @hervenicol , You’re getting a 500 error from the server. You should check your server logs to get to the root of the problem. Ann

Oops, sorry, I forgot to post a follow-up. :confounded: In my case, the server logs did not tell me much. However, the problem was with the PG server. It was short of memory, and was crashing when scanning some big projects. I allocated it more memory, and now all is fine. Thanks for your suppo…

Thanks for the follow up @hervenicol ! That is indeed helpful.

Hi Herve, what is PG server you have mentioned, your company server or something specific on sonarqube terminology? Im having a similar situation from VSTS, my sonar server has 8GB Ram and our version is 7.9.2, no errors in the sonar logs and it seems when builds are triggered from VSTS they are ta…
