Jenkins / JENKINS-55322 Jenkins' message about JENKINS_HOME is too vague, on the verge of being misleading. Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: core Created: 2018-12-24 08:43 Environment: JENKINS_HOME C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins Labels: errors DiskUsage full-disk Priority: Major Reporter: Bartosz Błaszkiewicz I got a message: "Your Jenkins data directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins (AKA JENKINS_HOME) is almost full. You should act on it before it gets completely full.". When I click "Tell me more button" it doesn't tell much more: " Your JENKINS_HOME (C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins) is almost full. When this directory completely fills up, itll wreak havoc because Jenkins cant store any more data. To prevent that problem, you should act now. Clean up some files from this partition to make more room. Move JENKINS_HOME to a bigger partition. See our documentation for how to do this"   I would like to know: Which node has the problem? What does it mean "almost full"? Is it less ten 1GiB? Less then 10%? I feel those information can and should be part of the error message, or at least they should be presented on "tell me more" page. I have inspected all my nodes and only one of them had full disk but it was E: drive and the error message refers to C: drive. Add Comment

Re: Jenkins' message about JENKINS_HOME is too vague, on the verge of being misleading. I have the same problem. I get the message and my Jenkins currently has only 585MB in use:     This seems kind of small to me. I only have two projects, one is very small and the workspaces are deleted after the build is run. I did that thinking that it would help reduce the Jenkins is full error.   So similar questions from me. What is the storage limit of Jenkins? I didn't think Windows had any kind of folder size restrictions? Can better documentation be provided on ways to keep Jenkins slim in order to stop any potential problems. Our Jenkins is in its infancy currently, but fully expect it to grow quite significantly.   Thanks

I couldn't figure out what was causing the filling up, so I configured my jobs to discard builds older than 4 days and restarted Jenkins; now the warning is gone.
