Jenkins

Logs Collected

The logs collected are pulled directly from the /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log file on Linux and MacOS. Windows differs in that there are two files for the logs:

• %JENKINS_HOME%/jenkins.out and %JENKINS_HOME%/jenkins.err

The log files contain all the relevant and useful information related to the Jenkins server. Using the Blue Medora BindPlane Log Agent, the logs can be collected and sent directly to Stackdriver Logging for further use. Below is an example of the Jenkins logs within Stackdriver Logging!
