I'm getting OOM exceptions left and right in my Jenkins instance. It's a fairly large installation, with over 100 slave nodes, and I'm running in Java 6 HotSpot. I generated a heap dump (great feature to do that via the Web page, BTW) and finding something that was surprising to me.
It appears that every build that Jenkins "remembers" is kept in the JVM itself. That is, when I'm keeping the last 400 runs of a given job, I have the metadata (though not the logs, I hope...) of all 400 runs in the JVM. Is this in fact the case? Is there a way to store build information historically without keeping it in core? Is this a problem for other users?
