Jira Application running with out restart after password update

[Srikanth]

we are rotating Database password with vault hourly and updating password in dbconfig.xml hourly. didn't restart application since first rotation, it happened 18 hours back. Application still working with out restart.

Any reason for this. How Atlassian Jira handles connections, when it kills old sessions, how long does it take to kill old sessions.

we are using datacenter 10.5 version

HI @Srikanth 

Welcome. Why are you rotating the DB password every hour? Seems a bit frequent to have it change every hour.

I assume that since it's still running, the password must be still working with the database. Otherwise, no one can use the Jira system since every time a user navigate or tries to access...there will be a DB connection error.

@Benjamin we are planning to rotate passwords every week, for testing we rotated every hour, how application behaves.

when we are doping reindexing we are getting connection error but application behaving correctly except reindex part.

Can you suggest why its behaving like this.

when we verified Database Monitoring still 2 connections showing in pool since last 2 days.

anything changed in. data center version 10.5

Seems a bit much though. It's not a typical production behavior to simulate for a test environment.

You may want to check  the release notes to identify any related changes to what you are doing. Also, you may want to cross check the compatibility of your DB for version 10.5. Those are the areas I would check.
