Summary

Problem

Users get The Jira server could not be contacted. This may be a temporary glitch or the server may be down error when they try to access the Releases page.

(Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)

The request is done successfully on the server-side but the following appears in the console logs when a HAR file is generated:

1 batch.js?agile_global_admin_condition=true&jag=true&jaguser=true&locale=en-SE:5257 GET https://xxxxxxxx/rest/projects/1.0/project/PROJECT_KEY/release/allversions-nodetails?_=1646216837011 net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET 200

Diagnosis

Environment

  • Any relevant information that clarifies the environment that an issue occurs in such as Database (type and version/s), Browser (type and version/s), OS (type and version/s), Java version, etc...

Diagnostic Steps

  • HAR file indicates that the transaction runs for a long time (in this example, it's more than 30 seconds)

(Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)
  • Check if the proxy timeout is shorter than the server response time or not

  • If possible, bypass the proxy, log in to one of the Jira nodes over node IP and Tomcat connector port which is defined in the server.xml, and see if you can access the related page.

Cause

One of the root causes here is the proxy timeout parameter being shorter than the server response time.

Solution

Workaround

If this is the case, increase the load balancer/proxy timeout duration to a higher value. Also, consult Atlassian Support to understand why it takes so long.
