Windows On Windows, Jenkins log files are stored as jenkins. Out (console output logs) and jenkins. Err (error logs) in the Jenkins home folder. Note: Jenkins logs may be stored in the Jenkins installation folder in Program Files on some Windows systems. The location of the Jenkins home folder is specified during the installation.
Jenkins stores the console log on master. If you want programmatic access to the log, and you are running on master, you can access the log that Jenkins already has, without copying it to the artifacts or having to GET the http job URL.
When we were reading we ran into the query “How to change the default log location for Jenkins logs?”.
You can change the log location by changing the default location for the logs in %JENKINS_HOME%/jenkins., and xml. By default the logs get stored at %JENKINS_HOME%/jenkins. Out and %JENKINS_HOME%/jenkins., and err.
What are Jenkins logs and why are they important?
One of the features Jenkins offers is automatically logging the performance of builds. Reviewing Jenkins logs can offer a wealth of insight into how well your code works. This is particularly useful when identifying problems or looking for elements that can be better optimized.
Where does Jenkins store the output of a job?
I’ve tried copying /var/lib/jenkins/jobs, but that appears to store the output of Jenkins’ jobs, not the input. Show activity on this post. The working directory is stored in the directory {JENKINS_HOME}/workspace/. The configuration for all jobs stored in the directory {JENKINS_HOME}/jobs/.
Jul 30 ’19 at 11:20 @alphaguy Jenkins creates a new workspace for each build that you run, so if you don’t delete the workspaces then eventually your node will run out of space.
While I was writing we ran into the query “What are file permissions on/var/lib/Jenkins/workspace?”.
– Ortomala Lokni Jun 10 ’18 at 12:06 Usually it’s either a permissionissue or your workspace is being used by another job – i. , and e. If your job can be ran multiple times simultaneously and you haven’t added disable, concurrent, and builds().
Can I delete jenkins workspace?
There is a way to cleanup workspace in Jenkins. You can clean up the workspace before build or after build. To clean up the workspace before build: Under Build Environment, check the box that says Delete workspace before build starts.
You can run the below script in the Manage Jenkins→ Scripts Consolefor deleting the workspaces of all the jobs at one shot. We did this to clean up space on the file system., and import hudson., and model*.
One of the next things we wondered was; is it safe to delete workspaces and job directories?
Yes, you can delete the workspaces safely as well as jobs. The idea of the jobs directory is to allow you to display jobs history, if job history is not important for you then you can delete job directories from there.
