Performance with thousands of jobs

Hi all, we have a quite big Jenkins installation (although I know from some posts to this lists that there are much bigger ones out there). A master which is only doing the web front-end with about 20 Slaves. We have a lot of jobs, at the moment about 3000 (job-dsl plugin rules;-) but in the end

Re: REST API for promoting builds

This is also what I am missing for a long time. I had the impression that promoted build being a second-class job, there are some features exposed by REST API but not complete. It would be very nice if performing/copying/creating/removing a promotion could be fully supported by REST API, cli

Re: Performance with thousands of jobs

Hi, If CPU's spinning, tirst thing to look at is some form of thread dump (only looking for RUNNABLE threads). Or, more easily, I would recommend accessing the live JVM to see what it's doing with a tool like visualvm [1], doing cpu sampling (during the slow operation). That should give you a

Re: Performance with thousands of jobs

/threadDump will tell you what the threads are doing. Look for 'Handling GET'. If you have large views (i.e. 500+ items actually shown), my guess is Functions.getRelativeLinkTo(Item), which iterates over all items in the view (requiring recomputation of what actually is part of the view) for

Re: Performance with thousands of jobs

Thanks for your comments. Searching for Functions.getRelativeLinkTo(Item) leads me to *https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-18364 https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-18364* No votes except mine so far.:-/ Regarding the number of jobs: Views containing 10 Jobs take 5-10 seconds

Conditional build steps for maven projects

Hi, How can I run conditional steps with Maven projects ? For free style projects I am able to set up conditional steps but this seems not available with Maven projects. Additionally I also want to publish findbugs/pmd reports conditionally in maven projects. Again this looks possible using

Re: Generating parallel flow with Build Flow Plugin

Hi Rodrigo, BuildFlow's parallel function takes a list or map of closures - it will execute each in parallel. For your situation, you should iterate over your list of servers, creating a closure for each and adding it to list. This list can the be passed as an argument to parallel(). e.g. //

Re: Jenkins is hanging

A similar problem occured on our CenOS 6.4 instance. Setting -XX:PermSize (note, no Max) helped remove the 99% utilization number, but jenkins still hangs. -- View this message in context: http://jenkins-ci.361315.n4.nabble.com/Jenkins-is-hanging-tp4680288p4690451.html Sent from the Jenkins

Re: Generating parallel flow with Build Flow Plugin

Hi Stuart, I'm not very familiar with groovy but I think it makes sense :) I'll give that a go To be honest I hadn't tried again to sort this out because in the end I created a fixed job to deploy to the servers I had to, but it will be useful if I get it working for the future Thanks for

Re: Emailers

The only thing I would really like to get rid of is the Jelly templates, with the idea to provide an automatic upgrade from Jelly to Groovy. Other than that it would probably just be breaking email-ext into a minimal core plugin with additional features in a more advanced plugin. On Tue, Feb 18,

Is There a Way to Use Push Notification from Git Repository with the git-repo Plugin Like there is via a post-receive hook use with the git Plugin?

Our Jenkins jobs use manifest files with the git-repo plugin. We tried using the post-receive hook in the repository to poke Jenkins when a new commit is made, however since the actual git URL being used is for the Gerrit Repo manifest repo via the git-repo plugin, the URL is not being

Creating views based on build parameters not working.

Hello All, I have many tests to run across several branches. We pass the parameter 'BRANCH' to all the tests to keep track and use that internally. This works in an excellent fashion. I would like to be able to create views of test results by branch. I want to see the status, weather, and

Re: Svn Credentials

HI Jmata, In our setup, we have a generic AD user that runs Jenkins. For any given SVN repository, we simply check out with -N once as this user and let SVN keep the credential password cached. The cache credential is stored as file in the generic user home
