Appreciate the big effort in bring the CI back so quickly. Thanks Marco. On Nov 21, 2018 5:52 AM, Marco de Abreu <marco.g.ab...@googlemail.com.INVALID> wrote: Thanks Aaron! Just for the record, the new Jenkins jobs were unrelated to that incident.
If somebody is interested in the details around the outage: Due to a required maintenance (disk running full), we had to upgrade our Jenkins master because it was running on Ubuntu 17.04 (for an unknown reason, it used to be 16.04) and we needed to install some packages. Since the support for Ubuntu 17.04 was stopped, this resulted in all package updates and installations to fail because the repositories were taken offline. Due to the unavailable maintenance package and other issues with the installed OpenJDK8 version, we made the decision to upgrade the Jenkins master to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS in order to get back to a supported version with maintenance tools. During this upgrade, Jenkins was automatically updated by APT as part of the dist-upgrade process. In the latest version of Jenkins, some labels have been changed which we depend on for our auto scaling. To be more specific: > Waiting for next available executor on mxnetlinux-gpu has been changed to > Waiting for next available executor on ‘mxnetlinux-gpu’ Notice the quote characters. Jenkins does not offer a better way than to parse these messages unfortunately - there's no standardized way to express queue items. Since our parser expected the above message without quote signs, this message was discarded. We support various queue reasons (5 of them to be exact) that indicate resource starvation. If we run super low on capacity, the queue reason is different and we would still be able to scale up, but most of the cases would have printed the unsupported message. This resulted in reduced capacity (to be specific, the limit during that time was 1 slave per type). We have now fixed our autoscaling to automatically strip these characters and added that message to our test suite.
