Usage Alerts for Deployments Using Embedded Databases
As software development becomes more central and mission-critical to business operations, it’s important to ensure that your Sonatype Nexus Repository is deployed appropriately for your scale.
While embedded databases are appropriate for disposable edge caches, test deployments, and low-concurrency team usage, an external PostgreSQL database is recommended for more demanding use. This is particularly true for higher-concurrency use, or in any situation where Nexus Repository is the system of record for the components that it stores.
To help customers identify when it is time to evaluate their deployment model, Sonatype Nexus Repository OSS and Pro deployments that use an embedded database (OrientDB or H2) will now see in-product warnings when usage levels approach or exceed one of the following thresholds:
20,000 requests per day
100,000 components
 |
When your Sonatype Nexus Repository usage approaches recommended levels for your deployment, you should implement more suitable architecture as soon as possible. To help you determine what that looks like, we’ve created a series of reference architectures illustrating appropriate deployment models for different scales. See the Sonatype Nexus Repository Reference Architectures section of our help documentation for full details.
Visual Progress Tracking for Repair - Rebuild Repository Browse Task
We understand the importance of tracking progress for tasks that can take some time to complete. While we have previously made performance improvements to the Repair - Rebuild repository browse task, with this release, we have also made it possible for those using a PostgreSQL or H2 database to view the task’s progress in the user interface. Tracking task progress was previously possible only through viewing task log files.
When running the Repair - Rebuild repository browse task, the Status updates to show users how many assets are completed out of the total number of assets that must be processed. This functionality is available only for those using an H2 or PostgreSQL database and also works in high-availability deployments.
User Interface Improvements for Roles
To make it easier for administrators to see and manage applied privileges and roles, we’ve modified our user interface to move away from the previous transfer list methodology. Now, administrators will see a single column listing applied privileges and a button to modify the privileges applied to that role. Selecting the button opens a modal where administrators can filter by keyword and select privileges to apply to that role.

Administrators can take the same steps to apply roles to other roles.
For full details on creating and managing roles, see our Roles help documentation.
