Agent does not stay connected:Since updating to Jenkins 2.346.3

Dear Community

Since updating to Jenkins 2.346.3, the Agent connection has been dropping out after a few hours.

  • The connection method is as follows.
  1. The agent.jar is installed on a mac mini with macOS Monterey 12.4.
  2. java -jar /Users/build-user/Jenkins/agent.jar -jnlpUrl https://****/jenkins-agent.jnlp -secret **** -workDir "/Users/build-user/Jenkins" is running on a Unix agent, version 4.13.3.

I have not changed the Mac(agent) settings. I just updated jenkins(controller).

If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know.

did you download a new copy of agent.jar? I believe the remoting library upgraded in 2.346.3

Hi, Gavin

Thanks for your comment.

yes,I have changed from Jenkins 2.303.1 agent to Jenkins 2.346.3 agent.

We have changed the method to use websocket because reconnection of the agent had been a problem.
It now maintains the connection.

Thank you very much for viewing this page.
