Update confluence with recently acquired license ... consequences?

Javier Guarinos Ibañez

Hello, I recently acquired and managed to install Confluence server 6.0.7 with MySQL database (it is the version I needed, since it was to integrate it with Jira 7.3.8).

I can see, that just installed and without any data, with just my administrator user, it makes me an excessively high consumption of the processor, in addition to a lot of RAM, for now the use of memory does not worry me so much.
On the server, with an average processor use of 10% (with more services loaded), it has gone into continuous use of 40%, but if I stop Confluence, it returns to 10%.

I repeat, Confluence just installed, without any data.

I have seen that the main recommendation in this forum is to update confluence. So my questions are the following ...

- What happens to the license I have recently acquired? Will it still work with the new version?

- And if I update Confluence ... Will it integrate correctly with my Jira 7.3.8?

NOTE: If the solution also involves updating Jira 7.3.8, the questions with the license are the same but with respect to Jira, in addition to whether all the data can be correctly restored ....

The current license for Confluence will still hold valid even after you upgrade to a newer version of Confluence.

There should not be any issue in terms of configuring JIRA and Confluence with the new version ( at least the versions that you are talking about )

JIRA or/and Confluence - upgrade will not impact your license. License has to be regenerated in two cases - 1) if it expires 2) if you are changing license type - say from 500 users to 1000 users.

If you are talking about data after upgrade - it all depends on how safely you upgrade , if you upgrade will , data will be fine.

Also , upgrade wizard of JIRA allows you to take backup before upgrade starts ( and if you havent taken a backup already)

Thanks Vickey,

So ... for what it tells me, to solve the consumption of the processor Confluence does ...

The solution is to update, yes or yes?

All these doubts, which in principle, the answer is obvious, are because, before buying the Confluence license, I saw that the only confluence version that Atlassian indicated for my Jira 7.3.8 was 6.0.7. If it weren't for that, I would have acquired the license of a current Confluence.

By the way, the installation is done in Ubuntu without graphic environment.

You can upgrade confluence and jira and still use the same license - it is not a problem.

Yeah - so try accessing Confluence from your webbrowser now hostname/ip:port number

Not necessarily - what memory have you allocated to the server at the moment ?

Also , memory consumption from 10% to 40% doesn't seem to be much of any issue to me though.

Confluence has it's own memory usage and " SYNCRONY - the collaboration logic of Confluence" must also be using some memory - it should be fine.

But what is your current memory allocation in the server ?

Javier Guarinos Ibañez

The server has 26gb of RAM installed, Jira and other services use (with Confluence stopped) 13.7gb. At the moment I start, as I indicate, without users with access except the administrator and without any user data, the memory consumption rises to 17gb.

I access confluence without problem from the web browser.

The issue is that when my users run services and launch applications, if I have a usual peak of 90% and the memory consumption rises, that's why I recently acquired more memory, so that in the request peaks of my users, none experienced Slow in your work.

Exactly, this is the problem. A confluence, newly installed and with that CPU usage, without users and without data. Only started.

- It is normal? 24/7
- Why does all that CPU use?

There are no users using confluence !!!

Thanks in advance.

Can you run a grep on confluence user and also on java processes to show us what all java processes are running and what all processes are owned by the user id confluence.

this is the result
