I'm faced with this same problem, and Jenkins simply doesn't have an answer. I run a largish build system (60+ development branches with thousands of test suites each; we're an agile development team for a credit card processor) and we can't let Jenkins store the build results for months (as they stay in core, slow down Jenkins, and will eventually cause OutOfMemoryErrors). What we ended up doing was building our database on the side, writing a parser that loads build results into that database, and writing a Grails webapp to see the build results. Basically, we use Jenkins for build scheduling and wrote our own tool for analysis.
While this is a lot of work, we feel that we need it due to the complexity of our build system requirements. I don't know of a tool that would give us what we want without essentially writing our own parser and webapp. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Les Mikesell Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 9:39 PM To: jenkinsci-users Subject: Re: Store build meta data in a db On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 5:32 PM, Ipoo Doh <ip00d...@gmail.com> wrote: > Problem: > I want to store build metadata in a db, things like Job and its build > history details like The build number, time it started, time it ended, > whether it succeeded, where the artiifacts are stored, wheather it has > been promoted, its svn tag details, etc...

Just let jenkins trigger the next steps for you or use the rest interface to control and track the activity. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
