Problem

Make alert "Alert: Bitbucket is reaching resource limits." visible only to administrators

In many cases displaying this alert to all user can create more overhead for administrators trying to resolve the problem. The main reason for this that it generates a lot addition support requests.

Suggested Solution

Allow banner to be hidden or make only visible to admins

Workaround

It is possible to disable the performance warning banner per the server busy configuration properties.

1. Must modify BITBUCKET_HOME/shared/bitbucket.properties
2. Add the following:

   # Controls how long a warning banner is displayed in the UI after a request is rejected due to excessive load.
   # This value is in minutes. Using 0, or a negative value, disables displaying the banner.
   server.busy.on.ticket.rejected.within=0
   

3. Restart Bitbucket for the changes to take affect

This does not disable it for standard users to make it visible for administrators. This completely disables the warning banner. Only proceed if you have other monitoring controls in place for the hosting, command, and ref tickets.
