CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise release notes

CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise versions 1.11.41 and 1.11.42 have a potential issue involving the CloudBees Plugin Usage Plugin versions 2.0 and 2.2:

This plugin produces the analysis.json file in $JENKINS/pup. On large instances, for example with many jobs, this file can be quite large. At the next restart of the controller, the plugin usage analyzer tries to parse this file and with large files this could take some time and it may block the start-up process of the controller thereby leading to longer startup time.

CloudBees recommends that you upgrade to CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise version 1.11.44 or later, or upgrade the CloudBees Plugin Usage Plugin to version 2.6. If you cannot upgrade to 1.11.44, it’s best to disable the CloudBees Plugin Usage Plugin (short name cloudbees-plugin-usage) until then. If Jenkins is not accessible, see Disabling a plugin when Jenkins is down

This issue is only a problem on startup. Another workaround is to remove the file $JENKINS/pup/analysis.json before starting or restarting Jenkins.
