Configuration options for Jenkins VERSION 1.1

In version 1.1 we introduced the capability to set the Socket and Connection time outs to Jenkins servers. By default this value is 10000ms (10 secs) for both. If you need to increase this, you can do this by clicking on the cogwheel and specifying the values. Note: Making this too high might cause issues with your Confluence instance serving threads being held up by the Jenkins server. Make it too low and you'll see more timeouts.

The main Jenkins configuration screen with the cogwheelSpecify the the values and click save

 

Definitions

Connection Timeout - This is the maximum time (in ms) that the service will wait to attempt to establish a connection to the remote server.
Socket Timeout - This is the maximum time (in ms) that the service will wait for the next packet of data to be received from the remote server. 

Troubleshooting

IssueResolution
I don't see the build servers I expect in the drop downIn order for a Bamboo server to be viewable you need to set up a Trusted application or oAuth relationship in Application Links. This configuration can be implemented at the global Confluence admin level.
I don't see the build plans I expect in the drop downFor Bamboo, you will only be able to retrieve the build plans that you have access to. Ask your Bamboo build plan administrator to ensure that the Bamboo build plan permissions are set appropriately.
I can't see the build status lozengeFor Bamboo, you will only be able to see lozenges for the build plans that you have access to view. Ask your Bamboo build plan administrator if you can be granted access to view the status lozenges.
