Dear Reader,
[CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise 2.319.3.4-rolling]
I’m new to Jenkins and I’m trying to understand what the system is doing during the “Started by Timer” and “Still waiting to schedule task”. Sometimes this takes up to a minute but most times it only takes seconds. I’m looking for a (deep) tech explanation if possible. What are those “pending items” ?
The one minute wait looks like this:
09:44:00 Started by timer
09:44:00 [Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
09:44:00 [Pipeline] node
09:44:58 Still waiting to schedule task
09:44:58 Waiting for pending items to get a node assigned
The seconds wait looks like this:
08:14:00 Started by timer
08:14:00 [Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
08:14:00 [Pipeline] node
08:14:04 Running on *host* in E:\DEV...
Regards,
Wim
