However, the above stack trace does not tell us the exact gadget that is throwing the error.

Diagnosis

From the stack trace above, we can tell that the error was triggered by 'administrator'. 'administrator' can check his dashboard for any error on the configured gadget to find out which gadget is causing the problem.

Cause

For this case, the gadget that is throwing the error is JIRA Issue Links Matrix.

Solution

Resolution

Disable the JIRA Issue Links Matrix Plugin. If you are using JIRA 5.x or above, this plugin is not compatible with your JIRA version and its best to disable this plugin.

If you do not have JIRA Issue Links Matrix gadget configured, please open a new ticket to https://support.atlassian.com
