Turn off buildbot 'silence' build killing feature? |
|||
Issue descriptionIt might be useful to stop killing builds that go for too long without logging anything, since we have build timeout, and this 'quiet logging' timeout will go away when we move to swarming. We have been having issues with lab tests that pass despite > 2.5 hours of quiet. There are supposed to be keep alive logs, but they appear to be being buffered. In group discussion we thought it might be faster to just turn off the 'quiet' killer.

My 2 cents: This I/O timeout is meant to blow away anything that's entirely stuck. In that case the assumption is that none of the cbuildbot timeouts will work (cbuildbot is hung). Buildbucket timeouts may still work. That said, going silent for long periods on the build is bad on its own -- users have no idea what's happening. dgarrett, I'd suggest : drop this request. Handle the root cause (issue 730729) of the observed failure instead.

Yeah, I think I agree, especially since swarming has the same feature.
