java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • 2.362

    Description

      We regularly see issues with the jenkins/inbound-agent in our Jenkins logs on Kubernetes. It seems to occur in around 1% of all jobs.

      The error message is below.

      Whilst the error message refers to java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: and unable to create new native thread we have checked the pods and nodes in the cluster and there is always sufficient memory or threads available at the time of the error.

      The specific versions for this specific error message are:

      jenkins/inbound-agent:4.3-4

      Jenkins 2.263.4

      However we have also seen this error occur with different versions of both the inbound-agent and Jenkins.
