Ehcache ClassNotFound exception when monitoring remote server via Jenkins in 1.67

[rspace-ops]

Hi
I am trying to follow the instructions in https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/ScriptsAndAlerts to set up Jenkins to monitor remote web applications.
I am using Jenkins 2.65 on Ubuntu 14.04 and Monitoring plugin 1.67.0
This is installed fine and monitors the Jenkins server correctly

The remote application is also using JavaMelody 1.67.0
When I try to use one of the example scripts in the Jenkins Groovy cript console :

import net.bull.javamelody.*;

url = "https://user1:pwd1@targetserver.com/monitoring";
java = new RemoteCall(url).collectJavaInformations();
memory = java.memoryInformations;
println "\nused memory:\n    " + Math.round(memory.usedMemory / 1024 / 1024) + " Mb";

I get a ClassNotFound exception that net.sf.ehcache.Ehcache cannot be found.
I tried putting ehcache.jar in the plugins/monitoring/WEB-INF/lib folder of Jenkins but this made no difference.

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong? The remote server uses ehcache and the cache information is displayed fine in the monitoring page of the web UI.
Thanks Richard

I also see this when running in a Jenkins job using the Groovy plugin to run a System Groovy script

[rspace-ops]

I fixed this by manually adding ehcache-1.6.0.jar to the Jenkins library folder in /var/cache/jenkins/war/WEB-INF/liband restarting Jenkins. I don't know how long-lived this cache is or if it survives an update of Jenkins but it would be good to mention this in the documentation for cases where the monitored application is reporting on ehcache usage.

Thanks for the issue.
It is fixed by 8361c5e in master. You will not need to add the ehcache jar file in WEB-INF/lib of Jenkins.

You can download a new build including the fix at
https://javamelody.ci.cloudbees.com/job/jenkins%20plugin/ws/target/monitoring.hpi
And you can install it by submitting it in the Advanced tab of the Jenkins plugin manager.
