Rate Limiting Connection to Github Enterprise

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      When the DVCS Connector communicates with github.com, it is (I think) able to understand and respect rate limit headers.

      Unfortunately, Github Enterprise disables rate limiting, so it's possible for the DVCS Connector to swamp a GHE instance with many, many requests. We have measured periods in which we received 600 requests/second between our JIRA host and our Github Enterprise instance.

      Based on a support issue, we've set jira.devstatus.applink.ratelimit to 60, but we anecdotally observe that it seems to affect the rate on a per-organization basis. If there are pushes to multiple repositories in several different organizations at about the same time, the request rates will spike again.

      We would like to be able to specify that our JIRA host should never exceed N requests per second to our Github Enterprise instance for any reason.
