Issue

When accessing graphs on a Build History Trend page cause Jenkins to become unresponsive

build_trend

This is being manifested on:

  • At Browser, it can been seen at HTTP 503 Service unavailable.

  • Jenkins is unresponsive but still running and cannot login via browser.

  • At Thread Dumps, it can been seen Requests containing /timeline/data/ as BLOCKED. For instance something similar to:

"Handling POST /view/Builds/timeline/data/ from example.com : ajp-bio-127.0.0.1-9009-exec-57" Id=7549 BLOCKED on hudson.model.RunMap@197b81f7 owned by "Handling POST /view/Builds/timeline/data/ from example.com : ajp-bio-127.0.0.1-9009-exec-28" Id=203
