Jenkins GUI only shown after waiting for 2 minutes

Question

My Jenkins version is Jenkins 1.508. Some googling around seemed to indicate that I needed a small change in my jenkins.xml (see for instance http://devophuman.blogspot.nl/2

Answer 1

We have implemented a quick and dirty work around. Just create a job in Jenkins which periodically invokes the following shell script:

wget http://localhost:8080/view/All/ -O /dev/null

This reduces the load times for all views (since Jenkins has to take the hit himself) for our users.

As stated in the comment the wget only loads the job view. In order to interate all jobs we are using the following curl script (Linux based host):

Jenkins 1.x;

for x in ` curl 'http://localhost:8080/api/xml?tree=jobs\[url\]' | sed 's//\n/g' |  sed 's/<\/url>//g' | sed 's///g'| sed 's///g' | sed 's/<\/job>//g' | grep http | sed 's/your.jenkins.host.domain/localhost:8080/' ` ; do curl "$x" -o /dev/null ;done

Jenkins 2.x;

for x in `  curl 'http://localhost:8080/api/xml?tree=jobs\[url\]' | sed 's//\n/g' |  sed 's/<\/url.*//g' | grep http | sed 's/your.jenkins.host.domain/localhost:8080/' ` ; do curl "$x" -o /dev/null ;done

You can of course to the same thing for views (http://localhost:8080/api/xml?tree=views[url])
