If I were you I would issue official bug on Jenkins JIRA? – Valet

Seeing the same thing on our RedHat/CentOS machines – Gaulish

Works fine when running on my Ubuntu machine – Gaulish

Answer 1

This may, or may not, be fixed by upgrading the "External Monitor Job Type Plugin".

Girondist

I think this is the Jenkins issue: issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-34648 – Bradawl

Answer 2

In my case I just upgraded my Jenkins 1.x to Jenkins 2.7.1 LTS with all plugins to the last version and I can reproduce the same problem : a blank New Job screen.

The only solution I have found was to DOWNGRADE the External Monitor Job Type Plugin from 1.5 to 1.4.

Pilothouse

In @Pilothouse 's case the problem comes from the usage of the FR locale in the browser. It doesn't work with version 1.5. issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-36875 – Bryanbryana

Answer 3

Manually deleted these files external-monitor-job.jpi,external-monitor-job from plugins directory and restarted Jenkins , it worked fine for me
