Docker upgrade to 2.5.0-1 and environment variable GRAYLOG_SERVER_JAVA_OPTS

bks · December 19, 2018, 10:55am

Hi all,

I am trying to upgrade my graylog nodes running as docker containers.
If upgrading from version 2.4.6-1 to 2.5.0-1, the evnironmental variable GRAYLOG_SERVER_JAVA_OPTS is disregarded, not overwritten

This variable is set like this

GRAYLOG_SERVER_JAVA_OPTS ="-Xms8G -Xmx8G -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/share/graylog/extern-data/security/cacerts.jks"

If running container version 2.4.6-1, I am getting this container log message (JVM settings are correctly overwritten):

18.12.2018 20:35:212018-12-18 19:35:21,846 INFO : org.graylog2.bootstrap.CmdLineTool - Running with JVM arguments: -Xms8G -Xmx8G -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/usr/share/graylog/extern-data/security/cacerts.jks -Dlog4j.configurationFile=/usr/share/graylog/data/config/log4j2.xml -Djava.library.path=/usr/share/graylog/lib/sigar/ -Dgraylog2.installation_source=docker

If running container version 2.5.0-1, I am getting this container log message (JVM settings not overwritten, some kind of default settings are used instead):

18.12.2018 20:40:362018-12-18 19:40:36,990 INFO : org.graylog2.bootstrap.CmdLineTool - Running with JVM arguments: -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap -XX:NewRatio=1 -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m -XX:+ResizeTLAB -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSConcurrentMTEnabled -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -Dlog4j.configurationFile=/usr/share/graylog/data/config/log4j2.xml -Djava.library.path=/usr/share/graylog/lib/sigar/ -Dgraylog2.installation_source=docker

Any ideay what might gonne wrong?

Many thanks

I guess that in your configuration you had only changed the image version?

Both images are build the same way just with a different Graylog Version, from a Software perspective no issue is know.

Yes, I just change the image version.

Image behaviour appears to be different.
Are you able to reproduce?
