We are using Jenkins (on Linux) to manage our Maven builds.
Our users can create their own job and sometimes (3 or 4 times per year), they are doing a mistake and the job generates a large log file (79 GB the last time...).
I had a look to existing plugins and I didn't find something to monitor the Jenkins log size.
For example, if the log size exceeds 200MB (when the job is running), I would like to automatically stop the build.
If you developed such shell scripts or Jenkins plugins, can you share your solution?
Thanks :)
You can use the Logfilesizechecker Plugin:
This plugin monitors the size of the output file of a build and aborts the build if the log file gets too big.
Or, if this has also an impact on the runtime, the Build-timeout Plugin:
This plugin allows you to automatically abort a build if it's taking too long. Once the timeout is reached, Jenkins behaves as if an invisible hand has clicked the "abort build" button.
