      Currently Jira Data Center does not consider if the server the application is hosted on already has certain JVM options such as JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY, JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY, and  JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS are already set. Instead it uses the static values defined in the setenv.sh/bat or windows service configuration.

      # The following 2 settings control the minimum and maximum given to the JIRA Java virtual machine.  In larger JIRA instances, the maximum amount will need to be increased.
#
JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY="384m"
JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY="2048m"

       

      This same functionality is already implemented in Bitbucket Data Center in the _start-webapp.sh file as shown below:

       # The following 2 settings control the minimum and maximum memory allocated to the Java virtual machine.# For larger instances, the maximum amount will need to be increased.
#
if [ -z "${JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY}" ]; then    JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY=512m
fi
if [ -z "${JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY}" ]; then    JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY=1g
fi

       

      This request is to integrate the logic below into the setenv.sh file In Jira Data Center by default:

      if [ -z "$JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY" ]; then
  JVM_MINIMUM_MEMORY="4096m"
fi
if [ -z "$JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY" ]; then
  JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY="4096m"
fi
if [ -z "$JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS" ]; then
  JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS="-XX:+UseG1GC"
