Environmental details: Self-hosted 

Summary: 

Changes made to Elasticsearch in Jama Connect version 8.49.x requires the max map count variable to be updated for the Elasticsearch container to start. 

 

Solution:

  1. Add the following line to the /etc/sysctl.conf file
    vm.max_map_count=262144
  2. Stop the Jama Connect application
    replicatedctl app stop --attach
  3. Stop the docker service
    systemctl stop docker
  4. Reload the sysctl.conf file
    sysctl -p
  5. Confirm the change has been made. vm.max_map_count=262144 is expected
    sysctl -a | grep max_map_count
  6. Start the Docker service
    systemctl start docker 
  7. Start Jama Connect 
    replicatedctl app start

 

Cause:

The vm.max_map_count variable was added to the Elasticsearch library

  • Elasticsearch
