Hi,

I have the following problems with our jenkins setup for about a week now:
From time to time the Jenkins becomes very slow and seconds after this i only get blank pages, running jobs quit and the CPU usage of its Java process stays at ~80%.
All I can do is restarting the service.

Jenkins runs on a Windows machine, its version and all plugins are up-to-date and the Java VM is allowed to use 1 GB of RAM.

Taking a look into Jenkins' log after a crash gives me lots of these errors:
Failed to load com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.properties.AuthorizationMatrixProperty$DescriptorImpl
java.lang.InstantiationException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/cloudbees/hudson/plugins/folder/AbstractFolderPropertyDescriptor
Maybe this is the reason for the crashes or is there another option? But the plugin is used by many other plugins so I can't just remove or disable it.

Please tell me if you need more information.

Thanks a lot!

You need to create a thread dump to see what Jenkins is doing.

Hi, thanks for your answer! When do I need to capture a thread dump? When it's operating normally, directly after a creash or while crashing (creating blank pages)?

All of the above, ideally. It's a cheap enough operation.

Okay, I'll give it another try:

Original message:

Hi Daniel,

I just waited for another crash (this time Jenkins doesn't even respond) and captured some thread dumps via jstack.

The files are attached to this message:
crashed: While Jenkins didn't respond
afterrestart: Directly after Jenkins came up again and all nodes connected
normally: After one successful build and during another

I just replaced some node names and ip addresses and hope this information will be helpful.

- Christoph

Okay - it seems that my messages are deleted when I'm trying to upload files. Posing them as cler text here will cut them. Could you please tell me how I can serve them properly here?

This is a mailing list, typically received via email subscription. I expect that almost everyone on this list has received your stack traces multiple times by now, even if Google deletes them from their archive.

Personally I didn't receive the attachments. You can use github gists or pastebin for such things.
