I tried this tweaking the startup options, but things still grow: JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.awt.headless=true *-Xms4096m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC* -Dhudson.model.ParametersAction.keepUndefinedParameters=true"
We are using system groovy script and the python jenkinsapi pip module to do a lot of things, so I bet something changed in the way things load in groovy. I just found a JIRA ticket associated with this: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-33358 I ran the scripts here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Monitoring+Scripts and I see a bazillion things like this (Display heap histogram (object instances per class)): sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor sun.reflect.GeneratedSerializationConstructorAccessor I'll see if adding this helps any: -Dgroovy.use.classvalue=true Alex On Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 12:28:44 PM UTC-4, grayaii wrote: > > We went from Jenkins 1.651.1 to 2.7.2 and our Jenkins master kept on > crashing with: > java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space > > Where were not specifying -XX:MaxPermSize in our JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS > before, so I added it, and kept on increasing the value after every crash. > We are now at 512m: > > JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xms3584m -Xmx3584m > -XX:MaxPermSize=512m > -Dhudson.model.ParametersAction.keepUndefinedParameters=true" > > Using the Jenkins Monitoring plugin, we see that the Loaded Classes Count > keeps growing without stopping: > > > <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KnFb1isIibc/V8G_bAUCMzI/AAAAAAAADYk/b0XjUEGvWVM8mumIpJrTB0WEkerXBqyVwCLcB/s1600/jenkins.png> > How do you debug this? > Something must be loading classes continuously. > > > Any ideas how we can debug this? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
