The build queue timeout event is thrown when a build has been waiting in the build queue for longer than a specified period of time.

This event is currently used by Bamboo to send notifications.

Configuring the build queue timeout event

You can change the criteria governing when the build queue timeout event is thrown. You can also disable build monitoring altogether so that the build queue timeout event never occurs.

To edit the build queue timeout event settings:

  1. Click the  icon and select Overview.
  2. Click Build Monitoring (under 'Plans') in the left panel.
  3. Click Edit and update the value for Build Queue Timeout as required.
  4. Click Save.

Disabling the build queue timeout event

You can disable the build queue timeout event by disabling build monitoring for your Bamboo installation. See Disabling build monitoring.

Please note, you cannot disable the build queue timeout event without disabling all build monitoring features for your Bamboo installation.

The check interval for build queue timeouts

By default, Bamboo will check whether a build queue timeout event has been thrown every 60 seconds.

You can change this by configuring the system property, bamboo.buildQueueMonitor.checkInterval. (This property is specified in seconds.)

Please read Configuring system properties for instructions on how to configure the bamboo.buildQueueMonitor.checkInterval system property.
