There is a way to add a filter in a task description or as a comment ?

I want to see the results of the filter in task either in the description or in the comment (or in any other way).

Preferably without saving the filter. I want to add directrly tha JQL in the task.

I use JIRA 4.4.3 on a Linode (Ubuntu 10.01) with 1.5 Gb RAM and every week I need to reboot the system because it hungs.

It's for demo, and there are is only one project with less than 5 issues and likely about 5-10 visitors/day.

I asked Linode Support for a solution and they analyzed the system logs without success and they never provided me a good solution.

Would be interesting to know more cases using JIRA hosted on ISPs. Perhaps this affects to Linode only or maybe is a more general problem.

I have basically come to the conclusion that I cannot get Jira to run on my Linode 512MB in a stable enough fashion.

I haven't been able to truly assertain why this is the case but my gut feeling leads me to believe that it is the Java runtime that is crashing. This may simply be an issue with the server itself and not Jira.

Thanks to those that tried to help.

There should also be a catalina.out file in there somewhere... (do a find). If the jvm is crashing it will dump the stack trace to that file. Also there is a jvm argument to make it dump core on crash that you could add, if you're familiar withgdb that could help.

> or at least it drops off the "top" process list

I'm not sure whether you mean it's not in the top 20 busiest processes, or it no longer exists. If not then try the above.

Thanks for the response. When I said drops of the "top" process list I did indeed mean that the process is no longer in the list at all. I'm afraid I'm not at all familiar with gdb (it's all been visual studio for me up to this point). I've taken a look at the catalina.out and the catalina.yyyy-mm-dd.log as well but again nothing very revealing. The .log last entry is:

Nov 8, 2011 10:38:44 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start

INFO: Server startup in 48072 ms

And the last entry in catalina.out is:

2011-11-08 22:43:21,633 http-8080-6 INFO anonymous 1359x37x1 y9r25v xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx /secure/SetupDatabase.jspa [atlassian.plugin.loaders.ScanningPluginLoader] Plugin Unit: /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/plugins/.bundled-plugins/workflow-designer-plugin-2.0.0.jar (1318871786000) created

(I've stripped my ip address out). The file is pretty large, too large to paste here, but having a search for keywords like error doesn't come up with much either. This time it crashed in the middle of setting up the external MySQL database, but like I say I normally make it to the end of the wizard before it dies a death.

I have been having similar issues, but on Windows Server 2003/2008.

Seems that since jira 4.3 we're having out of memory issues.

It's not a heap space or permgen, but an unspecified outofmemory error.

Out JIRAxxxxxxstdderr.log looked like this:

15-nov-2011 14:29:53 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService start
INFO: Starting service Catalina
15-nov-2011 14:29:53 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start
INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.32
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Symptoms are excatly like the ones you specify.

Despite the fact that according to atlassian jira doesn't need so much memory, the only way we got around this issue is to install and configure a 64-bits JDK/JRE and set memory to something over 1024M.
