JIRA logs - not enough contiguous free space left

aligntechsupport

Hello everyone,

 

We started to see an error message in our JIRA and Confluence logs: 

not enough contiguous free space left

 

We are running JIRA Software 8.5.2 on-prem (in the AWS). 

 

It seems that we have found a remedy for JIRA -  https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/troubleshoot-long-page-load-times-in-jira-server-959307746.html

 

We are not sure about the current size of

<span>-</span>XX<span>:</span>ReservedCodeCacheSize<span>=</span>512m

..because we did not find it in the config files or on the java command line. 

 

Moreover, the article says it's for JIRA 7. 

How do we find the current value of this option?

What do you think the right size should be? 

 

PS: I know I did not mention the size of the instance, hw specs, etc.

Hi @aligntechsupport ,

If you go to Admin -> System -> System Info and then scroll down to "JVM Input Arguments" you will be able to see all the various settings there. If you don't see a setting there, it is likely just defaulting.

To set it, you can usually put it in whatever env setting script that also has Xmx and Xms as well (and can put it right next to those for that matter.

Hope this helps
