Description

We have a simple pipeline job that checks out source from git (stash) and builds it. This uses "Stash Webhook to Jenkins" commit notifications which should include a SHA1 hash. It generally works fine but occasionally the server will return http code 503 (log below) when checking out. After this, the job stops responding to commit notifications. While we have multiple nodes, this job is only running on one specific node (for performance reasons).

Running the job manually gets it out of this state but this should not be necessary. I believe that Jenkins should be resilient to transient failures like this.
