You'll have to do some housekeeping anyway....Otherwise you'll run out of memory very fast. By archiving all the artefacts generated(mainly needed for release steps or similar) on your own you'll be able to keep your jenkins workspace very slim. This is an advantage and practicable.
Keeping Console Output by simply archiving is possible. I do so on the following way: -Use Log Parser Plugin which generates a Log.txt or similar in your project on slave workspace and include it as post build step('Console output(build log)parsing') -Get your Console Output from slaves by scp/ssh or similar e.g. Original Message processed by david® Re: Re-4: Copy files from remote Jenkins workspace (14-Nov-2016 10:41) From: Eran Yanay To:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Discarding older builds means it discards my console output of these builds as well, I wish to keep it.

And simply parametrize your job that way, that elder jobs on your host are being deleted automatically. In other words - simply discard old builds, doing that is very simple. Original Message processed by david® Re: Re-2: Copy files from remote Jenkins workspace (14-Nov-2016 10:15) From: buddy123 To:Jenkins Users I'll look into pipeline, though it seems very complicated. Regarding artifacts, I've thought about it, but I cant figure out how to delete the artifacts once I finished the job, otherwise my disk space will get empty very quickly. Is it possilble to mark files as artifacts, pull them from slave, and then erase them? I want to keep the console output of every build though, just dont care about the artifacts because I store them elsewhere On Monday, November 14, 2016 at 11:12:08 AM UTC+2, jje wrote: What about archiving artefacts. On that way all output marked as artefacts could be found on master so far, couldn't it?

Might be far easier to achieve that. https://jenkins.io/pipeline/getting-started-pipelines/[jenkins.io] 2016-11-13 11:23 GMT+01:00 buddy123 <er...@twistlock.com>: down votefavorite[stackoverflow.com] Im trying to create a cross-compilation job, that will build my code for both Windows & Linux. I have set up Windows & Linux jenkins nodes, and configured two jobs, one with 'windows' label to run on my Windows machine and the other with 'linux' label to run on my linux machine. I installed MultiJob plugin, and wrapped both jobs to run in parallel When both finishes successfully, I want to copy all the generated files and do operations on them In other words I want to copy the files from both jobs remote workspaces for further operations Can anyone suggest a way how to do it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
