Hi list, I am just puzzling about some strange behaviour of my master/slave setup. I have a 4 core master with Win7/64 bit and about 10 slaves with 2 cores and Win7/64 bit/Win2008 Server R2. I compile a .NET project at 20:00 and start (at the moment as a scheduled job at 21:00) about 150 unit test projects to keep the cluster chewing during night. If you look at the attached picture you can see that there are about 120 queued jobs when the test projects start which get less over time. Somewhere around 2:30 the number of occupied executors begins to drop and no queued job gets executed any more. At 5:30 the regular nightly compile and setup generation of our software is started, but it is only queued and there is _no_ dependency to the unit test jobs (block build because up/downstream job is running). Suddenly at around 7:00 the queued jobs begin to be executed again.
There is nothing conspicuous in the logs of the jobs. Any ideas if this is a known bug or where I could look for direct Jenkins logs telling me why a job is waiting and not executed? Thanks for hints Dirk
