Hi David That’s an awful lot of perm space… my main production instance runs with a 4GB heap and 128m of perm space (the default for the JVM is something like 64m, from memory).
You should enable GC logging for the JVM so you can see how much perm space is actually being used and adjust it down accordingly ☺ Rob From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Aldrich Sent: Friday, 28 March 2014 2:55 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: PermGen failures Hi Rob Thanks. I have now modified /etc/sysconfig/jenkins to specify: JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx2048m -Xms256m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M" I’ll see how that goes.

If it’s a particular build or group of build that throws the error (so the error occurs but Jenkins continues to function), you need to figure out how to increase the Perm space for the java process that is crashing.

This is not a Maven build. I start Jenkins from the command line as follows: $ sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start Does that mean that I should modify /etc/sysconfig/Jenkins ?

How should I fix this problem please? If this is a compilation issue: In Build options -> Advance -> MAVEN_OPTS use something like: -Xmx1536m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m If this is not a maven project then add build options to your command line.
