IndexingSynchronizationService tries to connect to Elasticsearch even though it's disabled

Question

Hi.

We are running Bitbucket Server 6.5.1 as a docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/bitbucket-server).

The container is configured NOT to start Elasticsearch in the container: ELASTICSEARCH_ENABLED: false

The reason we set ELASTICSEARCH_ENABLED although not running an external Elastic or a Datacenter version is that we saw Elasticsearch related exceptions in the log and tried to disable it. This was at least the intent.

However, we get the following warnings in the log:

2019-08-14&nbsp08:48:49,374&nbspWARN&nbsp&nbsp[Caesium-1-1]&nbsp&nbspc.a.b.i.s.i.IndexingSynchronizationService&nbspUnable&nbspto&nbspestablish&nbspa&nbspconnection&nbspto&nbspElasticsearch&nbspduring&nbspindex&nbspsynchronisation.

Can anyone give a hint on how to disable it?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Christian.

Thank you for your fast reply!

Is there a way to configure the docker image when starting it as a container or is this file the only way?

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

You can add the plugin.search.codesearch.indexing.enabled=false parameter to bitbucket.properties to disable the indexing.
