[Walid Daccache]

we are experiencing issues with Jira, we contacted support and they provided the below input.

Can you please check and get back to us asap, as we cannot have any stability issues with Jira.

Thanks for letting us know right away, Walid.
I've taken a heap dump from JIRA while it was out and analyzing its most active requests I can see that all of them are from the JQL Search Extensions for JIRA plugin, see:

All plugins access JIRA from REST as well and this is certainly the cause of this problem as I can see almost 1500 requests being made since 13:37 UTC:

# grep -c /rest/api/2/issue /data/jirastudio/apache/logs/access_log 
1438

I suggest you contact the vendor of this plugin to report that when you use their plugin JIRA is becoming unaccessible. You can contact them here:https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/jql-extensions/cloud/support

Also, you can temporarily disable this plugin so you don't loose access to JIRA anymore.

Hey Walid,

I have checked that the addon is behaving correctly. There are some timeouts reported while accessing your instance in our monitoring system.

I'd like to respond in full by email but I don't have your contact. Can you contact our support email at support@queryf.com and I'll respond asap (UK London time)?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi Walid, can you send me your JIRA instance url?
