When Jenkins stops polling the source code repository, it’s often due to configuration or environment problems rather than Jenkins itself silently failing. Make sure your Poll SCM trigger is correctly enabled and saved, that the SCM repository URL and branch names are accurate, and that valid credentials are provided — because misconfigured SCM settings can prevent Jenkins from detecting changes. Also check whether the relevant plugins (like the Git or SVN plugin) are up to date and compatible with your Jenkins version, and review the Jenkins logs for polling errors, as they often show connection or authentication failures that help pinpoint the root cause. In many cases, switching to webhook‑based triggers (where the SCM notifies Jenkins of changes) provides more reliable build triggering than traditional polling.
