The Jenkins file logs have grown excessively large, making it quite difficult to pinpoint and resolve issues efficiently. Is there a more effective method for identifying problems and expediting the debugging process?
- Use log rotation and archiving to manage log file sizes. Focus on the relevant logs and use tools like grep, sed, or awk to filter and extract specific information.
- Use monitoring tools that support real-time log analysis. Jenkins plugins or external tools like ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack can be integrated for real-time log monitoring.
- Implement a log retention policy. Regularly archive and purge old logs that are no longer needed. This ensures that you have the necessary logs for analysis without unnecessary storage overhead.
