Accessing Jenkins settings (for Jenkins not Jobs) from Groovy

We have a lot of Jenkins instances spread out over the company. So I am not particularly a Groovy expert, but from posts and examples I found on-line, I was able to cobble together a script to "audit" our Jenkins jobs. Once I had this running in the Jenkins Groovy Console, I then put it into a

It only scales so far, but you can have "views" that split the jobs into sub-sets . . . and if you are consistent enough in your job names, you can actually have the views maintain themselves via Regular Expression. You can even make one of the views "default" . . . so that "all" is no longer t

Once you define a config file (hit submit) . . . you then go to each job and say "add this config file to the workspace" . . . at least that is how I use it. We configure it so the path to the config file is left in a Environment Variable and the program picks it up from there. Nice when done t
