Hi bl0ck3r,

the description setter plugin extracts texts from the console log of your build and sets them as description. "Started by ..." is part of the console log of a build (look for it at the top of the log).

Try entering "Started by ([\S]+)" in the section "Post-build Actions -> Set build description -> Regular expression" of your job configuration page. Then build the job. When the build has finished, the name of the user that started the build will show up e.g. in the build history sidebar.

Cheers,
Simon.

I use this plugin:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Description+Setter+Plugin

I looked under the Jenkins configuration and the job configuration for
"started by" but I could not find it.

Use the description setter plugin. You need to set the description
with the text behind "started by".
