System log no longer usable as soon as it is full of "<discarded>" messages (regression in 2.325)

    • 2.358, 2.346.3

      This issue is related to PR #6044

      These <discarded> messages seem to appear randomly after a few minutes of using the Jenkins server.

      Each time I refresh the log page, the date of the <discarded> messages is updated and the number of lines displayed no longer increases.

      Would it be possible to no longer display these <discarded> messages to keep access the relevant traces in the system logs?

      I haven't tried deploying Jenkins v2.332.3 on a Linux platform. Do these "<discarded>" messages only appear on Windows, or can they also appear on Linux?

          Sure, I will leave this open with the regression label then (see jenkinsci/jenkins#6044).

          On my Jenkins test server, I increased the heap size of my JVM (from "-Xmx256m" to "-Xms 512m -Xmx1024m") : I have slightly less <discarded> messages among the relevant messages in the system log page. Thank you for your responsive support.

          curious - I installed this on Friday, redhat 7 host with more than sufficient memory as this is a test instance with zero job configs or builds -Xmx4086m -Xms4086m
          and my running system log ALSO is filled with these messages, so I don't buy the explanaition about memory pressure makeing this show up.

          Doesn't look related to heap size, we have -Xms4g -Xmx4g and only 687 MB out of 4096 MB is in use, but still messages show up.

          eraimbau The fix for this just shipped in the 2.358 weekly release. You'll have to upgrade to that release, or wait for the backport to LTS.

          workflow-cps version 2729.vea_17b_79ed57a_ attempts to fix the memory leak for which the original core change (now reverted) was made.
