Hi,
We have recently adopted Jenkins to manage performance testing lab which
comprises of many performance testing servers.
*A little background of the problem we have:*
Lately we have been observing some discrepancy in the readings due to
memory consumption of Jenkins slave - memory usage goes up and down.
For reliability we need same readings when a single test is executed
multiple times. But that doesn't seem to happen now after adopting Jenkins.
We have observed that Jenkins slave memory usage increases gradually over a
period of time and suspecting that this could be affecting the stability of
the performance tests.
*Question:*
So now we want to figure out a way to restart Jenkins slave after every
performance test we perform on the server. Using Jenkins slave as a service
is preventing us to access some network shares so we were forced to start
Jenkins slave using the java -jar option.
Is there a way we can restart Jenkins slaves after every test run on the
slave?
I have also attached herewith the list of plugins I have installed. Please
advise if any of these plugins could be causing the increasing memory usage
of Jenkins slave.
I can share more details about my setup if it helps.
Thank you for your time and advice.
Regards,
Praneeth
