How to set system log max length?

[David Aldrich]

Hi

 

We use the default system log settings in Jenkins 1.595.  I notice that the length of the log is limited to 24 hours.  How can I increase that time?

 

Best regards

 

David

This doesn't give the nice GUI presentation and custom log recording available from the "Manage Jenkins" / "System log" interface, but the Debian install package by default writes its logs to /var/log/jenkins/.

The log files in that directory age for a week before they are "rolled over" to a new log.

They are retained as compressed files in that directory for at least 3 months.

As far as I can tell, since you're using the default system log settings, those log files would retain the log information you're seeking.

Hi,
Those files should be managed by your Logrotate configuration. You can find the configuration in /etc/logrotate.conf
