Summary

When accessing the Applications page on the Jira Administration it fails with the error

502 Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /plugins/servlet/applications/versions-licenses. Reason: Error reading from remote server

Diagnosis

1. Reproduce the issue while collecting a network trace:

  • Go to ⚙️ → System → Logging and profiling.

  • Click at the Configure logging level for another package

  • Add the package org.apache.http with the DEBUG value

2. Review the debug to identify the error occurring for the connection with the MarketPlace:

1 2 3 4 2021-11-22 11:25:05,609 http-nio-8080-exec-2 DEBUG xxxxxx 684x361049x1 zbz90b /plugins/servlet/applications/versions-licenses [o.a.h.conn.ssl.SSLConnectionSocketFactory] Connecting socket to marketplace.atlassian.com/104.192.142.6:443 with timeout 15000 2021-11-22 11:25:20,620 http-nio-8080-exec-2 DEBUG xxxxxx 684x361049x1 zbz90b /plugins/servlet/applications/versions-licenses [o.a.h.impl.conn.DefaultHttpClientConnectionOperator] Connect to marketplace.atlassian.com/104.192.142.6:443 timed out. Connection will be retried using another IP address

Cause

When accessing the Applications Page, Jira will check the versions and licenses applied, reaching the MarketPlace site.

This error occurs when the Marketplace can't be reached.

Solution

  • From the top navigation bar in your application, choose > Add-ons or Manage apps

  • Click the Settings link at the bottom of the page.

  • Uncheck the Connect to the Atlassian Marketplace checkbox. This option is enabled by default.

  • Click Apply.

  • The change will take effect immediately.

Reference:Switching UPM to offline mode

You can confirm that MarketPlace access was disabled reviewing a support.zip:

  • Application.xml will contain:

    1 <com.atlassian.upm.SysPersisted-properties-upm.pac.disable>true</com.atlassian.upm.SysPersisted-properties-upm.pac.disable>
  • Atlassian-jira.log and Catalina.out:

    1 com.atlassian.upm.SysPersisted:properties:upm.pac.disable : true
