Just like in previous versions of the plugin it is explained how to enable the timestamps (e.g. with a timestamps {} block) there should be an example of how to set the global configuration. Information such as, it needs to be an xml which roughly should looks like below should be easily accessible. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <hudson.plugins.timestamper.TimestamperConfig plugin="times...@1.10">     <timestampFormat>'<b>'HH:mm:ss'</b> '</timestampFormat>     <elapsedTimeFormat>'<b>'HH:mm:ss.S'</b> '</elapsedTimeFormat>     <allPipelines>true</allPipelines> </hudson.plugins.timestamper.TimestamperConfig> Please add this info to the Readme and to the wiki ([here|https://github.com/jenkinsci/timestamper-plugin] and [here|https://plugins.jenkins.io/timestamper] and [here|https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Timestamper] Add Comment

It's very hard to find how to configure Timestamper though a configuration file. Just like in previous versions of the plugin it is explained how to enable the timestamps (e.g. with a timestamps {} block) there should be an example of how to set the global configuration.

Information such as, it needs to be an xml which roughly should looks like the example below , should be easily accessible.

{{<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>}} {{<hudson.plugins.timestamper.TimestamperConfig plugin="times...@1.10">}}

{{    <timestampFormat> &apos;&lt; '< b &gt;&apos; >' HH:mm:ss &apos;&lt; '< /b &gt; &apos; > ' </timestampFormat>}} {{    <elapsedTimeFormat> &apos;&lt; '< b &gt;&apos; >' HH:mm:ss.S &apos;&lt; '< /b &gt; &apos; > ' </elapsedTimeFormat>}}

{{    <allPipelines>true</allPipelines>}} {{</hudson.plugins.timestamper.TimestamperConfig>}} Please add this info to the Readme and to the wiki ([here|[https://github.com/jenkinsci/timestamper-plugin]] and [here|[https://plugins.jenkins.io/timestamper]] and [here|[https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Timestamper]]

Re: Add example global config to Readme and wiki pages Three arguments why I don't like this: I think the preferred way to configure a Jenkins instance is by using the configuration as code plugin nowadays. It isn't hard to configure your Jenkins in the UI and then look up the generated XML in JENKINS_HOME that is not specific to this plugin but can be used for any plugin It is another place you have to keep in sync in the docs which you will probably easy forget to update
