Our jenkins server seems to have a slow memory leak (runs out after about 5 days). We noticed this after upgrading from 1.596 to 1.642.1. I already increased memory space for java ( -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx512m).
I have a heap dump and histogram, but I am not sure how to proceed. The histogram starts like this num #instances #bytes class name ---------------------------------------------- 1: 978285 187967360 [C 2: 42467 113726864 [B 3: 1259878 40316096 java.lang.StackTraceElement 4: 968080 23233920 java.lang.String 5: 252385 19069600 [Ljava.lang.Object; 6: 116007 12968192 [I 7: 82985 6636360 [S 8: 204713 6550816 java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap$Node 9: 91323 5844672 java.net.URL 10: 56639 5683352 [Ljava.lang.StackTraceElement; I don't know what [C or [B is. Perhaps a corruption? Also, what is going on with StackTraceElement? We see a lot of these in our log WARNING: Executor #0 for XXX-build1 : executing XXX-treemake #4203 termination trace hudson.model.Computer$TerminationRequest: Termination requested at Wed Mar 23 15:17:25 PDT 2016 by Thread[jenkins.util.Timer [#2],5,main] [id=27] at hudson.model.Computer.recordTermination(Computer.java:219) at hudson.model.Computer.disconnect(Computer.java:481) at hudson.slaves.SlaveComputer.disconnect(SlaveComputer.java:611) at hudson.slaves.RetentionStrategy$Demand.check(RetentionStrategy.java:270) at hudson.slaves.RetentionStrategy$Demand.check(RetentionStrategy.java:178) at hudson.slaves.ComputerRetentionWork$1.run(ComputerRetentionWork.java:71) at hudson.model.Queue._withLock(Queue.java:1346) at hudson.model.Queue.withLock(Queue.java:1229) at hudson.slaves.ComputerRetentionWork.doRun(ComputerRetentionWork.java:62) at hudson.triggers.SafeTimerTask.run(SafeTimerTask.java:50) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.runAndReset(FutureTask.java:308) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$301(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:180) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:294) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
