Dave, I am not as informed as others in this group, but my experience has been
that the master does very little work as compared to the slaves. Yes, build
logs and archived files are uploaded from a slave to the master, but I have not
run into any issues with IO performance.
I run a Windows
If you move most/all of the actual jobs off to slave nodes on other machines,
then the Jenkins server host needs to:
· Interact with the user (minimal hardware requirements if your users
don’t use auto-refresh; auto-refresh could greatly increase CPU needs)
· Retrieve data,
Hi Rob, rginga -
Excellent information, exactly what I was hoping to see.
For the RAM requirements, would it be safe to estimate the required RAM on
the master by looking at the combined utilization of the build servers?
For instance, I see that the Jenkins and Java processes combined are
the JVM settings first--adding 64GB to your host won't help if Java is
only taking 4GB of it.
