SonarQube Build Breaker plugin: Report processing did not complete successfully: FAILED

Question

I am trying to upload reports generated by Istanbul to Sonar dashboard using a gulp task and it fails with the below error. Looks like the Build Breaker plugin in SonarQube is timing out before it can upload the report to Sonar. Any way that i can tweak this plugin?

I am using Sonar 5.3.

This is a known invalid issue: #14 (he problem occurs on the server side, not in Build Breaker mechanism/logic).

Matthew DeTullio's comment:

This is because the server side background task for your project is failing. You need to check the logs there and fix that problem first. The report processing step is when SQ computes the quality gate status. This plugin simply checks the status computed there, so if processing fails this plugin will mark the analysis a failure.

In my company we found on the server side:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded
