We are noticing that any errors that occur in our Jenkins service go unattended until it is too late and we were looking for a way to get our Jenkins error log on our server into GrayLog2. Are there any plugins or scripts that will handle this for us?
Your question is for Graylog2, but we have been using HipCHat to get real time updates from Jenkins about builds etc. (we also use it to get GIT activity on projects from Stash).
I would highly recommend it as an alternative if you do not win with GrayLog2.

I am using an TFS agent to schedule some Build using triggers. My issue is that when the build starts it wants to get latest version (sync repository). But I get an unusual error:
I have literally no ideea where to begin, it's like it could reach the server or something.
I could not comment. Hence providing an answer.
Does the account your agent is running under, has rights to the TFS repository mapped in the build?
For more logs check the logs in D:\Kits\agent_diag folder.
I am in the process of migrating a Jenkins server from an internal resource to AWS EC2. I have completed the copying of all files in /var/lib/jenkins. However, when I start Jenkins it immediately wants to run builds, and they all fail because I need to make some changes. Devs don't like the tons of emails.
How do I start Jenkins with all jobs/builds disabled by default, so I can test and configure things before cutting over to the new server installation?
Here is a useful link! This groovy script needs to be placed in $JENKINS_HOME/init.groovy
We are developing a reporting application for my organization, which is aimed to monitor jenkins builds for specific jobs. I know there are API to get the status of the jobs and other information. But, it requires me to keep polling jenkins with these api requests. Would like to know, is there any other way like events thrown by jenkins so that my application can listen and do the needful ?
You can "throw" whatever you want in your Jenkins build. Question is: what can you application "catch"?
You can make a POST or GET request at the end of the build to your application.
You can upload files to remote hosts.
You can update files on local host.
You can execute batch or shell scripts, remotely or locally.
So what can your application listen to?
Got this plugin https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Notification+Plugin, this solves my requirement
Can Jenkins detect when a new build is available on a Bamboo server?
What I want is to create a Jenkins job that checks a Bamboo server for a new build. I want this job to run once per hour.
Then, other tests that I have on that Jenkins server will rely on that check passing in order for them to kick off.
If this is possible, what is the usual way of doing this? The Bamboo server is internal and does not need authentication to see status of builds or get build resources.
If there is no plugin for this, I do see a RSS feed at this URI: /rss/createAllBuildsRssFeed.action?feedType=rssAll&buildKey=RELEASE . What method would other Jenkins administrators use to read this feed?
I figured out the answer myself. I wrote a Gradle unit test to run in Jenkins that can read the RSS feed in Bamboo.
The real way to do it though, which didn't answer my question, is to add a post-build hook to either Subverison or Bamboo to send a HTTP get request to Jenkins, which notifies a job to run.
We are testing out the Cloudbees Jenkins service, but all of our jobs have started to not show any console output. This seems to happen both in jobs that are successful and jobs that fail.
We have created a new job, and cannot see why it is failing since the console output appears empty.
I'm not sure if we have hit some limit in the free version of the service, or if there is some current bug in the service that is preventing the console output from being visible. Has anyone else seen this?
Restarting your Jenkins should resolve this (this is the 2nd report we've had of this behaviour recently) - please log a support job if that is not the case.
