Workspace on Slave node is deleted if the Job is not running/active from Master Jenkins for some days.

How shall I fix this issue?

While referring to some forum advising to fix hudson.model.WorkspaceCleanupThread.disabled [ false ]. However, I am unable to find this parameter.  

Guide me on how can I fix this issuer permanently & save my workspace and build.

I see one option in Jenkins is DISCARD OLD BUILD. However, I assume that check is to retain the build (to see the history) on Master Jenkins. 

If needed I can help with some more information.

This is a system property that should be set when starting up jenkins. You would want to set hudson.model.WorkspaceCleanupThread.disabled  to true to disable deletion of workspaces.

Best idea is to avoid relying on the workspace being preserved at all . So if you  are deplyoing something, then  do it by installing/copying/whatever  the final artifacts in a place outside the workspace.

Don't do that. Use an "Archive Artifacts" post build step in your job to archive exactly those build artifacts you really need.

HTH...

Agree. You can stash artifacts generated in the workspaces to the controller. Be aware if you are using parallel builds automatic workspace deletion can cause job failures when the workspace is deleted automatically while the job is in progress. This is a known issue with Jenkins - https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-51724

THanks,
Senthil.
