Subject: Cannot build any jobs: "Pending - Waiting for next available executor"
Hi
Since several days I'm unable to build anything and I can't understand what's wrong.
Jenkins keeps waiting for an available executor but never starts:
The server has enough free space and memory.
I tried restarting Jenkins, upgrading to the latest version (now I'm on 1.454), restarting the job, but still nothing.
I also looked at the catalina.out logs but found nothing related to that.
Maybe someone can give me a hint, please?
Thanks in advance.

Is this a new install of Jenkins? Or one that's been up for a while? How many executors do you have defined in the global config?

Try changing to 1.

You may want to relate the number of executors to the number of cores
on your jenkins server if it is more or less dedicated to Jenkins
Soon you will also realize that you need to define priorities to sort
out jobs in the queue: then this plugin gets useful:

The problem is https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12994. Sami, can you add a comment to that ticket to say you also have the problem, and possibly vote for it? At the moment the ticket is unassigned, yet it’s blocking some people moving to the latest release which has a security fix.

I got this exact same problem after upgrading to 1.453. All my slaves have 1 executor that appeared to be idle but still all the builds just stayed in the queue.
I downgraded back to 1.451 and problem went away.
