HTTP thread size
Asked by Jenny Lopes:

Hello.  
I have upgrade confluence to 7.3.2 and i get the following error:  

![atlas.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157642i066AB9D41C9900E5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "atlas.png")

Everything seems to be working fine though.

I went to the resulting learn more link here: [https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/startup-check-http-maxthreads-configuration-939930122.html?utm_source=Install\&utm_medium=in-product\&utm_campaign=csseng_fy18_q3_server_confluence_errorstate/](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/startup-check-http-maxthreads-configuration-939930122.html?utm_source=Install&utm_medium=in-product&utm_campaign=csseng_fy18_q3_server_confluence_errorstate)[promokodik.net](https://promokodik.net/)  

however i dont have any parameter called "maxthreads" in my server.xml. I am doing a custom string for SSL, so maybe that is why? if so, the document does not say where to put this, just somewhere in server.xml but well i am sure it needs to be somewhere specific. Is it on the "connector" area? or the "engine name" area? or what. Not very good documentation.

Its possible this existed in STOCK configuration, which i would have wiped out when i re implemented my SSL stuff which i have to do every upgrade.

i am using SQL server.  

My current connector is this, do i put it in there?

```
<Connector port="443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25"
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
acceptCount="100" scheme="https" secure="true"
clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLSv1.2" sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.2" SSLEnabled="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8" keystorePass="PASSWORD" keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\Atlassian\confluence\confluence.jks" connectionTimeout="20000" keyAlias="*.DOMAIN.CA" keystoreType="JKS"/> 
```

if anyone knows that would be great, thanks.

The maxThreads parameter is present in the connector you've posted - here's where it is:

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/157738iF44354CBD4B227C6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

What's actually causing this message to come up is a bug in the healthcheck: [CONFSERVER-58097](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-58097) We've fixed this bug on newer versions of Confluence - if your license is still under active support, you can upgrade to [Confluence 7.13](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-7-13-release-notes-1044114085.html) and this error will go away by itself.

Otherwise, it's safe to ignore the error. You can also get it to go away by disabling other active connectors in your server.xml file - I imagine you've got the standard port 8090 connector still active right now.

Upgrading to 7.13.0 will get you the fix for the security issue, as well as the fix for this healthcheck bug. If you're not able to upgrade right now, [there are steps on the advisory to mitigate the issue](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-7-13-release-notes-1044114085.html) by running a script that patches the vulnerability on your current install.
