Jochen A. Fürbacher added a comment - 2017-09-14 12:32 We noticed such an issue if the log file of a build is too long and you use regular expressions. But this also happend in version < 1.11. Therefore we provided the option to use build failures from Build Failure Analyzer instead of regular expressions (if you have BFA installed). When Periodic Reincarnation performs an check on the builds, it does't check the log files on matching regular expressions anymore. It only checks, if the build has a failure cause, BFA checked on before. This reduces the duration of periodic checks a lot. I don't know if this solves your issue but I think it's worth to look at.

Stephan Krull added a comment - 2017-09-27 08:28 BTW: If you aim to work with GitHub as an issue tracker (and the new plugin homepage suggests that) you should play fair: initiate archiving of the component periodic-reincarnation-plugin in this JIRA project, or close each new issue for this component by linking to GitHub issue tracker or (even better) automatically create GitHub issues from JIRA issues (unfortunately I don't know any ready-made solution for this)

Jochen A. Fürbacher added a comment - 2017-09-27 11:15 We prefer to use JIRA as issue tracker. The issue in Github seems to be similar to this one but it isn't proven to be really the same issue, yet. So I didn't link the Github issue here. Anyway, JIRA is our first choice to track issues.

Stephan Krull added a comment - 2018-10-16 10:17 Just want to give you notice that I have a hung build again today with version 1.12.1 (on Jenkins 2.121.3 (LTS)).

Can you confirm?
