How to discard Jenkins old builds from project or Pipeline?

When we work with Jenkins, we surely run our project(s) multiple times and this will result in a long queue of the build History list that mostly is of no use after certain numbers. How to discard Jenkins old builds from project or Pipeline? 1) If you have access to the " Manage Jenkins " section of your Jenkins then you can run the below-mentioned script to clean your project Build History. Note* This will reset the build number to 1 on your next run. a) Access your Jenkins HP > Manage Jenkins > Script Console b) Copy-Paste this script to your Console Script text area and update the " myproject_name " with your project name where you need to clean the build history and hit the " Run button ". def yourJobName = "myproject_name" def job = Jenkins.instance.getItem(yourJobName) job.getBuilds().each { it.delete() } job.nextBuildNumber = 1 job.save() This should clean your Build History for that particular project but if you...

Jenkins: set of commands to safely stop/restart it

Not sure about you guys but I used to stop/restart Jenkins using cmd prompt only but it looks like we have an optimized way to stop/restart i.e. through the Jenkins instance itself. Jenkins provides a set of commands to safely stop/restart Jenkins by putting it in a quiet mode. 1) quietDown: Put Jenkins in a Quiet mode, in preparation for a restart. In that mode, Jenkins doesn’t start any build 2) cancelQuietDown: Cancel the effect of the “quiet-down” command. 3) safeRestart: Put Jenkins into the quiet mode, wait for existing builds to be completed, and then restart Jenkins. 4) safeExit: Put Jenkins into the quiet mode, wait for existing builds to be completed, and then shut down Jenkins. Just hit these URLs on the browser where your jenkins is running by replacing "<jenkins.server>" with your Jenkins domain URL. http://<jenkins.server>/restart http://<jenkins.server>/safeRestart http://<jenkins.server>/exit http://<jenkins.server>/...

HTML Publisher Plugin not processing CSS for online Extent Report, Gatling, OWASP, etc. in Jenkins?
