Dear mates,

I maintain a huge Jenkins Master server with more than 8000 jobs and 450 Slaves.

One of this Jobs it giving a hard time to the Master and consume all RAM available in JVM until GC fail, and I need to restart the server...

Because the number of Jobs, I can't find the faulty one, so I need to add either a logger or anything that would centralize a timestamp like :

Job "Name" #nnn started at HH:MM:SS.

And the same at the end of Job eventually with status.

Tks for your feedback,

./Fred

Are you aware of the Timestamper plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Timestamper)? We implemented this to see where the pinch points are in some of our longer running jobs and find it very useful.

Well yes, but correct me if I'm wrong this plug-in add information to the Job console, no?

It's not very clear in the Plugin description...

Tks for your answer David! :)

Your understanding is correct, this plugin adds timestamp details to the individual job console output logs. So, I guess it doesn't give you exactly what you're after. You want some indication about which of the many jobs that were running when the server crashed was the one which caused the failure. Sorry, I can't help further with that.
