Also, if you've not found it yet, here are the instructions for setting JVM settings if you're running this as a Windows Service https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/increasing-jira-application-memory-861253796.html

Yup @Sravya Vuggina, that is NOT a trivial restore you are doing. That is going to kill both JVM memory if not big enough AND the DB. I notice you are on Windows from your screenshots. IF you're more comfortable with it, you could use MS SQL server but I, personally, don't like it a lot given performance hits based on how…

I am not sure how you are restarting your server but there is also the possibility that, if not explicitly stopping your instances before the server reboot occurs that you are corrupting your plugin cache. It will take your instances longer to restart but grep Google for how to manually clear plugin caches for BOTH Jira…

HI @Sravya Vuggina, I can see just a couple of things that you might need to look at, especially if you're wanting to do a solid POC. First one up is, especially depending on the size of your instance is to grow your Xms and Xmx to give the JVM enough room to work. If it's not too big of a system, just set 'em both at…

@Moses Thomas That is very true. In my case, however, I have this all containerized and tried to make it so only ADDing my bits discretely I get a couple of things: * A better chance that a subsequent NGINX release that has new and fun things in default configurations don't break when I mess around in the default files…

@Moses Thomas, that was my hope that this fixes it. HOWEVER, in looking at @Priyank files, I note the include *.conf just before his configuration. @Priyank, I got bit by almost this same thing initially and alluded to it above; the order the conf files are loaded. I had tried, as you did, to toss that config in the…

@Moses Thomas, without proxy servers we'd have SO much less to talk about :P Anyway, I posted my (sanitized) server.xml block and the 3 NGINX conf files that make JIRA and Confluence work behind my proxy server and the assumptions for the config (copied these straight out of my dev box)

So... here is what I have that seems to work. In my case, NGINX logically appears local to the Jira server. The DNS points at wherever NGINX is. If NGINX is not local to JIRA, merely change the "proxy_pass" directive to point at wherever Tomcat is serving JIRA. My server.xml (I do NOT have the fallback port) <Connector…

Dang it... seems to have lost my post. SO... here we go. This assumes that you have NGINX on your Jira host. If not, the proxy_pass directive in the below config changes to wherever Tomcat is serving Jira. Also , I did NOT put in the "fallback" port. The DNS should point at wherever your NGINX server is running ONLY and…

SO... this assumes that: * NGINX is on (or appears local) to your JIRA server * The DNS to your jira instance is ONLY the public IP address Note: mine is abstracted by having all this in containers which make it look local. If you're NOT local and have a separate NGINX server that has both internal and external NICs, your…

That catches MOST of it and the rest is gravy when I can get there with it. Awesome! Thanks!

@Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist], an update. This actually ended up being monumentally the easiest way. Looking at the XML next to the actual Jira workflow representation coupled with vi having syntax highlighting and row numbers on (for precise yank and puts) made it easy. Interestingly enough, were this something I found…

Hi Priyank, Your environment is largely the same as what I have here. What I've done is ALL traffic (whether in the office or not) goes to the public IP address. This gave me a measure of security as well since I can BLOCK the Jira host IP address from direct access. The ONLY way through to the server is via the NGINX…

Thanks Jobin... That was actually what I was trying to avoid but might be the way to go. I'll have a look and determine if editing the XML is easier than recreating the post functions. Mike

Ah... yes... I didn't read the OTHER bit... There are actually two things at play there. The security levels (which are not just security; can be used for more granular access to issues in a variety of projects) can do the bit where Sarah can only see ab in ABC while John can see cd in ABC. The security level can be set as…

Dang... I was afraid of that. I had grepped both Google in general and the Atlassian pages (including Marketplace) and didn't find it. Perhaps this will be a feature request to Atlassian.

I think the easiest way to do this would be with security levels. We use this regularly here for JUST this case. Additionally, this provides the granularity to allow previously visible issue types to be migrated to another to restrict access later if need be.…

Priyank, do you have the Apache as a proxy server imposed on you? I just went through this exercise with both Jira and Confluence (way fussier) and, after struggling for a couple of days with httpd, I threw in the towel and gave NGINX a shot. 2 hours after going down the NGINX rabbit hole, it worked. Perfectly. The…

I'll check that as soon as the repo admin comes back. I'll let you know the results and mark as answered if that solved it thanks, mike

Thanks Alexey. So... For each one that I delete, it'll ask and is there the expected churn time while it goes through and makes the alterations? (just want to know for the scheduling of the system maintenance window). So... I delete "Lowest", it asks what I want, I tell it "Low" and then the wait for the alteration? Same…

I think your extension is the correct one. It works but just that error. I greatly appreciate all your help on this. I suspect it is something that I'll eventually uncover. When I took over this system when moving to this company, I basically inherited a dumpster fire with extra hobos. At least I have the hobos mostly at…

Well... that DID fix the continuous errors on null.. However (and I could live with this if I had to), it throws a pair of errors when navigating into and then out of the project with the hidden "Create" button 2018-01-30 18:27:53,996 http-nio-8080-exec-675 ERROR anonymous 1107x6486713x2 uvyzdk 172.26.10.103,127.0.0.1…

Yup, @Alexey Matveev, you've hit the nail on the head. It IS the anonymous user: http-nio-8080-exec-630 ERROR anonymous 1033x6421258x1 - 172.26.10.19,127.0.0.1 / [c.o.scriptrunner.fragments.JiraScriptCondition] Current user: null How might I code to ignore the null/anonymous user? 

Hmm... Could be... I find that in the console it knows who *I* am if I try it in there and gives the expected true/false responses depending on what arguments I put in the script. As much as I am loathe to hard code anything, should I, rather fill in actual humans rather than ask who is on the system at the moment? Perhaps…

Hey Alexey, Thanks for the quick answer. HOWEVER, I tried it as you put it in there (substituting back in the "real" group and project name. As before, it works BUT throws the error about every 2s: http-nio-8080-exec-639 ERROR anonymous 990x6405302x1 - 172.26.10.19,127.0.0.1 /…

Chad, The two of these are rather dramatically different. * An attachment would be attached to the page and then, to view the attachment on a Confluence page, you'd have to use the Office macros to display it. * Importing a Word document will turn it directly into Confluence content rather than an attachment. As such you…

There basically isn't one if it is a file list on a page in front of the attachments page. I would recommend the following: * Change the list link to be a child page that does display the document * On the child page use the View File macro to display the document.* Note: if you want the document to be readily downloadable…

Fatima, I agree with what Nic says. Just... don't. What I recommend (and have done) in both JIRA and Confluence is to add ANOTHER datasource to tomcat. If you need another whole table for whatever reason and/or want, perhaps, more functionality even that JUST what a table provides, another datasource can do the trick for…

Robert, Curiously enough, I also was starting to look at GC to try to get rid of some "stop the world" events I was seeing on Confluence 5.7 running on a Windows 2012r2 server (yes, I have reasons for running it there; some of them good). I was even at the point where I was thinking I was going to have to put it back on…

Not to mention export controls where one works with stuff that is export controlled. Gets even weirder when that is in the mix.
