As far as I can tell, Jenkins slaves cannot handle connectivity blips. I think that it assumes LAN connectivity. Maybe you can ask your network admin and see if there's a way to keep those connections up, or at least make it look like they are.
Failing that, can you put a second Jenkins server on the remote site? --Rob From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Arvi Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 2:20 PM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Jenkins Master slave connection issue Hi All, We are using Jenkins model of Upstream-downstream builds. I have number of Slaves hosted in a remote office and the tests are triggered by Main build. These tests runs for hours. The issue I have is, some times we see network blips which disconnects slave for few seconds and the whole build is lost and have no way to retrieve it or restore the build back once the connection is re-established. Is there anyway in Jenkins to handle such network blips !? May be using the Process ID and tracking or something or I'm I missing some key configurations? Its really painful to kill all the stray jobs from previous build, then re-kick the jobs and wait for hours.
