Hi,

I deployed my build on server and configure Jenkins to run the job, for 10-15 days all the jobs were running fine but suddenly one day I start getting error.

ERROR : There is insufficien9malloct memory for the Java Runtime Enviornment to continue.
#Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 472736 bytes ..

I have 64 bit Windows operating system and 64 bit JAVA is installed, my server is having 4GB of RAM.

Can someone suggest if they have faced same issue , how to resolve it.

Jenkins need more RAM. alternatively, you might try and restart the server every few days. restarting a server releases the memory.

Do you know what is the system requirement to run Jenkins.

I am using windoes Server 2012 (64 bit) , 4GB RAM, I manually allocated 2048M of memory to JVM but this cause my system to hang.

depends on your program. Jenkins doesn't require much RAM.
