Howto : Jenkins executable WAR and rotating log files

[hanasaki-jenkins]

Q: How can the Jenkins self executable be configured to rotate log files automatically?
It is running from a linux bash script with the "-logfile=" option as in the below referenced link.

Q: Why is the line half covered in a "strike through"? (below referenced link)

For log rotation you have a few options

 

Option 1

Use logrotoate.

 

[foo@host ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/jenkins

/opt/jenkins/logs/jenkins.log /opt/jenkins/logs/access_log {

    compress

    dateext

    maxage 365

    rotate 99

    size=+4096k

    notifempty

    missingok

    create 644

    postrotate

        if [ -s /var/run/jenkins.pid ]; then

            JPID=`cat /var/run/jenkins.pid`

            test -n "`find /proc/$JPID -maxdepth 0 -user jenkins 2>/dev/null`" && kill -s ALRM $JPID || :

        fi

    endscript

}

 

Option 2

onfigure java logging (pass -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/opt/jenkins/logging.properties to the JVM) and specify the configurationtion and implementation to do rollover/deletion.

 

 

For your second question – confluence has markedup the double dash -- as a strikethrough command (and it should be makred as nomarkup in the wiki).
