INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: ...
Cause
Bitbucket Server, by default, runs inside the the Apache Tomcat webcontainer, which provides the web server that hosts Bitbucket Server. By default, Tomcat will look for the existence of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on your system.
This INFO message is simply a notification that Tomcat was unable to find the APR.
The APR provides certain performance benefits, but no functionality benefits - Bitbucket Server will function perfectly well without it.
There is no reason to take any action unless directed to do so by one of our support engineers as a result of a performance issue. If you are having performance issues, please raise a support request with our engineers at https://support.atlassian.com.
Resolution
You do not need to do anything.
