I am currently running Jenkins v1.609.3 on CentOS release 6.5 and have about 10 slaves connected to it.
The issue that I have is that when I attempt a reboot, the jenkins log hangs on ‘Attempting to connect to slave xyz’. After multiple reboot attempts, it finally makes it pass that ‘error’ and jenkins comes up. I have checked the slaves and I do see a slave.jar
file on all of them.
What is weird is that I don’t have ANY ‘<slave>’ section in the master jenkins config.xml file so where is Jenkins finding the slaves to connect to? Is there a way to tell jenkins to ignore connecting to a slave if it has an issue and ‘keep moving’ to
bring up jenkins? Where in jenkins server are the slave configs defined? I don’t see them anywhere in the config.xml on MASTER. Could it be cached somewhere?
Thanks,
