I am systematically making API calls to my Jira Server instance to execute searches, updates, creates, and transitions on issues. I have noticed seemingly random occurrences of connection reset errors.
I have determined the cause of the connection reset is due to the socket not receiving a response from the API call after 5 minutes and then I'm assuming the apache httpClient that I'm using is closing the connection.
The part I need help with is this: on one specific example shown in the log snippet below.
- The API call @ 13:51 is attempting to run a transition on an issue
- Viewing the issue from the Jira frontend, I can see the issue was in fact transitioned successfully with an update time of 1:51PM which coincides with the actual API call time
- But I never receive a response so the connection remains open until the webserver terminates
How can I debug this further? Is there something I am missing here? Just to reiterate, this only happens randomly, 98% of API calls are receiving responses as expected.
