# Sidekiq job size limits **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/68982) in GitLab 14.3.
|
|
|
|
[Sidekiq](../../../administration/sidekiq.md) jobs get stored in
|
|
Redis. To avoid excessive memory for Redis, we:
|
|
|
|
- Compress job arguments before storing them in Redis.
|
|
- Reject jobs that exceed the specified threshold limit after compression.
|
|
|
|
To access Sidekiq job size limits:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu >** **{admin}** **Admin**.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Preferences**.
|
|
1. Expand **Sidekiq job size limits**.
|
|
1. Adjust the compression threshold or size limit. The compression can
|
|
be disabled by selecting the **Track** mode.
|
|
|
|
## Available settings
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Default | Description |
|
|
|-------------------------------------------|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| Limiting mode | Compress | This mode compresses the jobs at the specified threshold and rejects them if they exceed the specified limit after compression. |
|
|
| Sidekiq job compression threshold (bytes) | 100 000 (100 KB) | When the size of arguments exceeds this threshold, they are compressed before being stored in Redis. |
|
|
| Sidekiq job size limit (bytes) | 0 | The jobs exceeding this size after compression are rejected. This avoids excessive memory usage in Redis leading to instability. Setting it to 0 prevents rejecting jobs. |
|
|
|
|
After changing these values, [restart Sidekiq](../../../administration/restart_gitlab.md).
